Steve Hanks is one of the most famous watercolor artists in the world. Watercolor painting is a difficult medium, but Steve Hanks has created several hyper-realistic paintings with it. Steve Hanks was born into a military family in San Diego in 1949; his father was a highly decorated World War II Navy flyer. He grew up playing tennis and surfing along the beaches of Southern California. “The ocean made a strong and lasting impression on me. It was good for the soul to be out in the water—surfing, swimming, or simply getting in touch with its mysterious power.” I hope you like these realistic watercolor paintings.
