In the long history of watercolor, hyper-realistic watercolor is still a bit young, but its influence in the watercolor world cannot be underestimated. As photography technology gradually improves, the world we see becomes more microscopic and clear. The ultra-delicate expression of scenery in hyper-realistic watercolor paintings has pushed watercolor to a new level, adding a new atmosphere to the entire watercolor family, and thus allowing watercolors to be better disseminated.
Hyper-realistic watercolor painters use their unique and delicate perspectives to show us a world that is both familiar and unfamiliar, as well as countless wonderful details in life. This means of expression gives us the opportunity to observe a wider range of things and appreciate more of the beauty of the world.
Our eyes have been "deceived" by photos before; today, super-realistic watercolors have once again "deceived" us, making us stupidly unable to tell whether it is a watercolor painting or a color photo.
Eric Christensen is an artist from the famous wine country (Napa Valley, California, USA).
His artistic talent has always attracted the attention of the world. He has mastered the hyper-realistic watercolor technique to create wine glasses and bottles with bright color effects and super texture. In his works, he shows the glassy texture of objects expressed in high-resolution photos.
Christensen is unique in the field of watercolor hyperrealism, proving to be the only artist capable of creating hyperrealistic watercolor works using standard watercolors.
He opened his own gallery in the center of a picturesque town in Napa Valley, California. It also successfully ran "Living in Liquor Country" advertising campaigns in national magazines, newspapers and on television.
Christensen was a prolific painter, and today his works are collected by galleries across the United States.
In his early years, Christensen began his interest in painting in Salt Lake City (Utah); he lived like a child, listening to classical music, eating delicious food, and painting various plants. Over time, his painting techniques matured completely, allowing him to become, like every great artist, focused on specific painting themes and techniques.
At the same time, he found a great interest in wine-themed paintings, and then he bought a vineyard, and his family's wine always brought inspiration to his paintings. "It's his way of life," Christensen said.
In Christensen’s “Wine Art”, he is good at capturing the romantic feeling of wine and creating beautiful romantic visual effects. The wine themes, vivid landscapes and intimate still life scenes created in many of his typical works make people unable to put it down.
Christensen is not only a famous watercolor painter, but he is also a creator of beautiful visuals. Every one of his beautiful works has been carefully set and placed by Christensen. Including food, flowers, fruits, wine bottles, wine glasses, still life, plus appropriate background settings and reasonable combination of various elements. This is what makes Christensen’s art unique and one of the reasons why his works are so widely loved and collected.
