Sketchbook Tour - Adventures in France

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
I've spent some time in France, to teach classes, and of course to draw a lot, so today I am flipping through the pages of my sketchbook.
I also have a fun assignment for you!

I like your comment on the page "Paris sketchbook" and the "haussement d'épaules français"...😉 Very inspiring, thank you for your generosity!

[@KoosjeKoene]

You are so welcome!

[@Blick_Art]

Love the collage elements and the sequential panels! Interesting how the comic book-style format makes one look for a narrative even if there might not necessarily be a literal story.

[@ananyamaji5740]

I have no words. Just wow❤

[@brendadavies3942]

I’ve ordered your book and can’t wait for it to arrive xxxx

[@brendadavies3942]

Thank you so much for posting the Paris workshop drawings, which I missed because of my broken leg!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Such bad luck, I know! Wish you could have joined. I hope your leg is better.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Thank you Lorraine!

[@daltrainer]

Thanks so much for sharing your France sketchbooks!! They feel so lively and fun. I really like the idea of painting watercolor panels to start a page. That will make the blank page less intimidating, I hope. You're the best!

[@postcard9889]

Always inspiring. I especially love the yellow panels.

[@dawndavidson6062]

This is a great video - love the idea of the lexicon and those comic strip frames!

[@DerekShinglesCoops]

Thank you for another great video Koosje. Incredibly inspiring as ever, but the panels to draw your day are brilliant! I cannot wait to do that, not just in my present sketchbook, but also as a feature of the many more to come. Thank you once again and keep up the great work 😀

[@ATC.Tigerlily]

I love your art style and perspective 👏😍 thank you for sharing 🙏😊

[@JF-kv1gm]

So much to share with us, thank you, Koosje! Great to see that you also had the chance to collect some new ideas and techniques from other "tutors". These sketchbooks are all so wonderful. I'm definitely going to do the panels sometime this week! 😉

[@susancook1617]

Thank you Koosje, lovely sketchbooks

[@iness.p.7741]

Amazing tour!

[@sketchbookscheming]

Love all the variety in your sketchbooks, and I want to try the panels idea!

[@graham3377]

Lots of ideas to take on from this film, Particularly like the large capital letters on your pages with writing and of course I will be pre painting panels in my books today . cheers.

[@KoosjeKoene]

I think you’d like designer Marty Gregg’s work. He uses big capital letters in a brilliant way for his journal pages.

[@elenabonanni2636]

❤❤❤amazing as always! I just received the book and it the best!!!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Yay, thank you!

[@jennyl2273]

Looking forward to seeing your adventures in Malta. Will you be running any online Malta workshops when you return?

[@KoosjeKoene]

Thanks! I am not planning to.

[@littleerichsenstudios2292]

Love your sketchbooks. Makes me want to draw again. And btw - what is the French Shrug?

[@fuzzydragons]

food/drink stains just make sketches more personal 😀
