Paletje
Paletje painting group. The group of artists can be 20 people, so if the model does not show up, there is a problem. We asked someone at the bar to stand still for half an hour. I remember he was happy afterwards. Charcoal and Conté pencil on drawing paper.

Fellow Artist

Self-Portrait
Self-portrait, Kris Herteleer, 46 years old I don't like sitting still in front of a mirror and drawing, although it is a good exercise. From time to time you have to do it, with different techniques. Just to see how much better you get with time… the model or the technique…
Knights of the Butter
The Knights of the Butter are a mixed group of people knighted by the city council of Diksmuide for their contribution to the town of butter, as Diksmuide calls itself. The most active was Rosanne, who passed away two years ago.
