He also took courses at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts, Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels and other schools. Largely self-taught as a painter in watercolours, he became a skilful draughtsman. In 1881, he had his first exhibition of paintings, which went well, and gave up on architecture.Jules du Jardin, ''L’art flamand'', vol VI, “Les artistes contemporains” (Brussels, Arthur Boite), p. 131 At about this time, Cassiers went to live in the fishing town of Knokke, where there was a large artist colony which included Alfred Verwee, Louis Artan, Flori van Acker, Franz Courtens, and later Alfred Bastien and Firmin Baes. ...
