While browsing the web aimlessly, a sort of daily ritual, I stumbled across this phenomenal watercolour artist. His name is Steve Hanks, and don't worry, I'm not going to bore you with his biography. All I'm going to say about him is that his work is astounding, and he is "one of the best watercolourists of our time". I haven't seen such incredible realism in regard to proportion, tone and style in a long time.
His work is similar to Fragonard's in a sense, yet also unique in itself. A South African artist that exudes the same calabre of talent is Dorothy Kay. Her work has the best photographic realism I have seen from a South African artist. When I one day purchase a home, I would definitely want my walls to be covered with the likes of these two magnificent artists.
