Together with other young Antwerp landscape painters, he regularly held up in the Antwerp Kempen around Kalmthout where they painted the vast heaths north of the city. Later this group would be called the school of Kalthout. As with the painters of the Hague School, they chose subtle tone values ​​and gray harmony above the painting of zonlicht and bright colors. After 1980, the Crabeels color palette evolved under the influence of A.J. Heymans to clear tones and a more divisionist test.
