Herman Dewit is a Belgian urban sketcher. He is well-known as one of the "founding fathers" of the folk music revival in Flanders and the Netherlands. However his life as a musician never kept him away from another passion: sketching and water colour painting. On the contrary: when travelling to play concerts in Belgium and abroad, he always carries a set of elementary tools and materials with him to capture landscapes, village views and people playing music. A beautiful selection of these travel impressions has now been compiled to form this Herman Dewit's art book.
Altijd onderweg ("Always on the road") is not for sale in bookshops, you can only order it directly from the publisher's website. It costs € 25,00 plus postage costs, depending on where you live.
