The artists Stefan Dobritz and Peter Witt have known each other since childhood. Both are well known to a large audience in northern Germany for their oil paintings, which they create solely with a palette knife, giving their works a "third dimension." They learned this special painting technique in the 1980s from Jürgen Runge, a student of Kokoschka who at the time lived and worked in the monastery village of Cismar on the Baltic Sea. Their oil paintings are usually created on location, i.e. "plein air"; many interested visitors have been able to watch them at work in the past. Stefan Dobritz and Peter Witt have been exhibiting in numerous galleries in northern Germany for over 30 years; since 1991 they have spent many weeks each year working on the island of Sylt and exhibiting there in their own gallery in Westerland. Their variety of motifs ranges from atmospheric landscape paintings of their homeland to elaborate cityscapes and still lifes. Dobritz and Witt published the illustrated book "Paintings of Sylt" in 2010, followed by "Paintings of the North" in 2013. Her “Sylt Art Calendar” is published annually.
