    What an excellent way to let go of unused stuff! Now, I have a mission for the rest of the year. Thank you, Koosje

    You really inspired me. I made a sketch of the toilet! The day after tomorrow they will start the renovation of the bathroom and toilet. I am very glad it will all be new then, but it seemed like a good reason to sketch the old situation ;-)

      A great reason! I love that.

    I love this idea. I am housebound due to illness and sometimes wish I could go out and draw like you usually do. This has given me some great ideas for things to draw at home! Thank you, Koosje!

    Yesterday I put up all the Christmas decorations. I thought about how many items that are, how many different shapes and Colours. So I set up my sketchbook at the dinner table and started drawing. I hope to draw an item every day until Christmas. Good exercise, not only for sketching, but to focus and enjoy and forget all the worries for a moment. Thanks for all the inspiration, dank u well!

      Will ruin everything😁
      I have so many beloved Christmas items, thank you for this good idea👍🌹

    What a wonderful idea Koosje, I will sketch my old slippers that are destined for the garbage, and the new ones taking their place. You are a true inspiration, thank you.

    The Blue Jays are a baseball team in Toronto. Lovely drawing.

    • @KoosjeKoene

      Thanks for clarifying. It's confusing that I bought it in a small shop in a tiny town in Utah... but hey it's still a great souvenir!

    Hi
    Just want to say I love all that you do and all the work you put into everything. I follow Sketchbook Skool and have a few courses.
    Yes they are a baseball team from Toronto Canada
    I just happen to come from Canada

    I love the shirt - you should see my favorite t-shirt! It's over 20 years old, and has holes everywhere. But it's so soft and comfy. I've very roughly sewn the holes that are in embarrassing places, but I don't want to get rid of it! In the summer it's a mainstay of my quarantine life. Always in pajamas.

    Before we relocated from Arizona last year, I let go of a lot of art work I had made and dragged around for 30 years. It was work I loved but over the course of that year I had sketched my entire house in colored pencil and much of my art was captured in those sketches which I put in a single sketchbook. I thought it would make me sad to give it away to other people but I felt liberated emotionally - an physically lighter. Very therapeutic experience.

    Great video as always. 🙏🏻❤️ Amazing how a quick spatter of paint really adds to that vintage look. I reckon that T-Shirt has got at least another 10 years wear in it. 😆

    This is a great idea. I'm getting older and will soon have to move half way across the country to be physically closer to my son. So, I will have to start the process of getting rid of things. I think that filling a sketchbook with the things I will have to part with will help me. Thanks so much for sharing.

    • @KoosjeKoene
      @KoosjeKoene  2 роки тому

      It'll probably be helpful for handling the whole moving process. Best of luck!

    The Blue Jays are the team from Toronto Canada. ‘Tropic’ is Florida where they train in the wintertime. Too cold up here.

    omg, thank you!! i have SO MANY t shirts that dont fit me anymore but i cannot get rid of because of precious memories..... i dont lack drawing ideas haha but this seems so useful. maybe if i draw them i will also be able to make room in my closet for more clothes that actually fit me lol

    • @recoveringsoul755

      I've been to county fairs where some people have made quilts out of old T-shirts. They just cut out the image and make squares for the quilt. It's really interesting to see all the shirts at once. I've also heard of people doing this with their child's clothing, if they've outgrown them or especially if they've lost a child. Then you can remember which fabric they wore for their 4th birthday party and so on.

    Koosje, I like your style so much I tried to subscribe twice! ;) You make drawing look so easy, I would never have thought of treating those letters as shapes by drawing them from the end, backwards... great work...

  • @albertine2169
    @albertine2169 2 роки тому

    Before now, I have taken photos of belongings and put that in a special book with description. This is mad, but I don't know why I have never thought of drawing them. This is such a good idea and adds another layer of 'personal' to the collection. Thank you dear Koosje ❤
