Artist Captures Beautiful Landscapes In Europe with Watercolor Illustrations

Artist Danny Hawk likes to travel and explore the beauties of the world, but unlike most of us, he has an incredible talent to recreate that beauty on paper. Hawk brings his sketchbook everywhere he goes, creating beautiful ink and watercolor paintings along the way.

“Growing up as a kid, art was one of my favorite subjects,” Hawk told My Modern Met. “I loved to sketch, especially when it came to buildings and places. But somewhere along the way, that passion got pushed to the side.”

After spending 10 years studying for a double major in International Relations and German, Hawk moved to Germany. That was when his life as an artist began. “In 2017, something magical happened: creative people started to come into my life, I began following artists online, and I joined my local Urban Sketchers chapter here in Frankfurt—and bam! I was hooked.”

Hawk’s illustrations feature beautiful landscapes and historical sites he has seen while traveling across Europe. Take a look at his work and prepare to be blown away.
