Kunstroute 2012 in Tremelo

The last weekend of April and the frist weekend of May, we organised a 'kunstroute' in Tremelo (an art-walk?) We didn't have the best of weather but luckely it didn't rain. Lot's of people visited us and they were very pleased with what they saw. We had a corner with sketchbooks of two art-academies and we had our Urban Sketchers-Belgium corner.

The second saturday it was very cold, so I had the time to sketch...

Outside in the garden you could see the wooden art work of Koen Wisse and we had a café with home made pancakes and pastry.
