I do not have near the experience of most people here but wanted to recommend the twsbi eco t fountain pen. It is brilliant. Easy to fill, holds a lot of ink. Great for drawing and writing with and considerably less expensive than the Opus. Thanks for the demonstration though! I hope to use these steps to make some other fountain pens I have usable.

Love it!! Is the line work with a brush pen? I’m new to sketching and finding your videos super helpful and inspiring 😊

Amazing video, Koosje!!!

Recently subscribed, discovered your channel accidentally. In love with your drawing style and overall energy. Happy birthday! Looking forward to the next video :)

I really wish I had just a bit of your beautiful art gift.

Love these links! Thanks for sharing!!!

Hi!! Where can I find the pencil bag you have? It holds all your sketching tools perfectly!

What art supplies did you use?

te quiero mucho koosje koene

I always enjoy your sketchbook tours! You have your own style for sure. Sometime I'm gonna try the using frames and a matching limited color palette in the spread ❤

Love this!

❤😊

wow you finish sketchbooks so quickly!! I really want to try a hand book journal one day but they're a little pricey unfortunately 🥰

Thanks for the inspiration.

I can never resist a sketchbook tour !!

Thank you, love you style

Drawing on your birthday is the best gift to yourself. Thanks for sharing.

Such a joy to see one of your flip throughs. I loved "Paris with my people" I'm just starting my 3rd sketchbook. I started the first one with a quotation that mirrored my feelings, and I thought I would do the same this time. I chose... "I never look at my watch when I'm sketching!" Karl Lagerfeld You also said something similar in today's video. Have a lovely day 😊

Thanks for sharing your sketchbook tour, very inspiring :)

Thank you for sharing your work. I love your sketchbook! It's very interesting and inspiring. I hope to do one of your zoom sessions, in August as I'm busy for the next one.

the colours are so bright, which brand do you use?

Team Green!!!! Wonderful share today

OOh I just LOVE YOU!! I really do. I miss you with all my heart. I really wish that I could have been there with you all. I would love to join you all when you have something near me teehee or we can meet up again in Paris! Now that would be AWESOME! Thank you so very much for the wonderful post card. It's beautiful and I will be putting it into my sketchbook for sure. Love you!!

thats realy help , thanks

I bet the food was quite different for you. Alot of what is called tex-mex? Im glad you enjoyed it! Do u plan on visiting anywhere else in the U.S.? And did u have any Texas BBQ? Love your sketchbook tour, thank you!❤

With all that practice, your figure drawing should be less generic than it is.

❤❤❤❤

Wow just found your channel, I love it. Time to draw !!!

Dear Koojse I love the way you capture your life and travels. It gives me something to aspire to. ❤🙏🏾

Beautiful drawings!

It looks like you had a wonderful time in our desert Southwest here in America. I have been to New Mexico but not Santa Fe. The colors and vibes down there stay with you for life!

Is your sketchbook from Hahnemule? What a fun look at your drawing class and a peek at Santa Fe.

You are talented....

Inspiring sketchbook. What’s with the Puget Sound sticker? Not near Santa Fe!

Love this

Always love your work, it keeps me inspired to keep on sketching

Nice. Shame you didn't see any Indigenous events, quite colorful dress for people drawing. Love your sketchbook tours. I try to draw more people in my urban sketching now due to watching you.

I like your stile😊

I love Taos, Santa Fe, and most all of New Mexico, and I live in Oklahoma, another great place to use your art skills. I have sketched over most of the state. Be it mountains, desert, city scenes or rural, it is a great place to pull out your art supplies and put them to work. Another great point about New Mexico is its people. I have met, worked with, sketched, and just waved to in passing many, many of its citizens. Not once have I met one person I would say I wish I had not met. They are very friendly, helpful when you are in need of directions or advice, and they easily make you feel like you have known them forever. I cannot wait to go back with plein air kit in hand.

The inside back cover has a piece that looks like Alaska Native art. That was fun to see.

yay!!! I lived in Taos, NM for 3 years and drove to Santa Fe often...happy memories for me showed up in your sketches...thanks.

I love the sketchbook tour so much! Always so inspiring. It makes me want to draw in cafes too!

what beautiful linework 🥰

I like seeing your abstract background paintings.

Love this sketchbook!! We spent many weekends in Santa Fe and this really takes me back there ❤

Always inspiring! I love the idea of capturing the "vibe" of a location by simply documenting the colors on a page for later reference. Brilliant! I have to tell you, I am a US citizen living in Europe. It's been 10 years since I've visited Santa Fe, but your sketch book and color choices really brought back a lot special memories. The power of a sketch book! Thank you!
