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...

Our urban sketchers corner...

Gérard Michel and Fabien Denoel came over from Liège.

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.

Thanks to all USK-members that participated: Miriam, Gérard, Fabien, Cato, Geert, Rita, Pascal, Jan...
