Hermit

Why this name

You work alone until someone notices you are gone. Heremiet (Hermit) is the historical bentnaam for that craft habit — solitary weather plus the sketchbook. Your craft and temperament put craft and temperament together.

The historical echo

Herman van Swanevelt (~1603–1655), Dutch Italianate landscapist and etcher, bore Heremiet / Heremyt because he preferred to work alone. Friend/associate of van Laer in Rome; later mostly Paris.
