Steve Fleming has spent 25 years painting in watercolor. He is a painting instructor at The Art League in Alexandria, and teaches painting workshops throughout the United States and in Ireland.
Steve's impressionistic painting style is highlighted by his combined use of glazed colors and thick passages of rich color. He works in analogous colors contrasted against complementary hues.
One of Mr. Fleming core beliefs about Art is that Art is a creative process not just a creative result. He feels that truth in art comes from getting to the essence of the subject and expressing it in a sensitive and passionate language. To do so he must know and love the craft and be willing to risk failure to gain success.
Steve's primary artistic goal is to express a feeling of light and atmosphere in his paintings. "I feel that in order for my paintings to have a feeling of truth, I must paint outdoors and paint subject matter about which I have a strong personal feeling".
Steve believes that light, color and shapes of Maine affords the students one of nature's finest studios. He has acquired a reputation as a energetic, knowledgeable, giving and humorous watercolor instructor. His students feel he brings out the best in their work through his lively painting demonstrations and critiques. to see larger)
