Paintings by Steve Greaves

A Celebration of the Ordinary

 

The paintings fall into 2 main categories: 

 

1. Photorealism Paintings - detailed paintings, some more highly

finished than others. These are Birds, Wildlife, Portraits, Sports

and Toy paintings.

 

2. Impressionism / Expressionism Paintings - loosely painted

pictures. Mainly Landscapes but also includes some Wildlife

and Portrait paintings.

 

 

Photorealism Paintings

Most of my artwork is based on photographic reference, 

usually my own but sometimes taken from the mass media 

or supplied by people who commission paintings or drawings. 

 

Influences on my Photorealism Paintings include the well

known American Photorealists such as Chuck Close, Ralph 

Goings, Richard Estes and Randy Ford.

Popular American Realist painter Andrew Wyeth and New 

Zealand bird painter Raymond Harris Ching have also greatly 

influenced my work.

 

The Photorealism Painting Techniques section covers all aspects 

of the production of the artwork from taking reference photos 

and transferring the drawings onto board or paper, to the actual

painting process and the framing of the finished artworks.

For a full list of my paintings see the Chronology page.

 

Impressionism / Expressionism Paintings

Steve Greaves - Wentworth Corn Field - expressionist landscape painting

Wentworth Corn Field  - Landscape Paintings

 

A series of mainly Landscapes and Townscape Paintings painted in looser

styles associated more with Impressionism and Expressionism than with

Photorealism. Any underlying drawing is gestural and the paint is applied

spontaneously with a sense of freedom and experimentation.
