Steve Greaves Photorealism Paintings
This website illustrates and describes over 100 pieces of artwork by British artist / painter Steve Greaves produced over the past 30 years. It contains around 350 pages of art images and information with new items being added regularly.
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 David Beckham Key Ring - Toy 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
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.

I started uploading my best photos to Flickr in June 2008 and I continue to add new photos as well as images from my archives regularly. My Flickr Photostream now contains nearly 1,500 images of subjects such as wildlife and natural history subjects, architecture, people and toys. Many of my photos have been published in books and leaflets and as posters and prints, and used in museum displays.
