Media Reviews
A comfortable walk through the challenging world of maritime painting by an accomplished artist who is also a sailor and who is as much at home with his media as he is with his subjects. Leisure Painter (April 2007) 'Flemming... is not only a brilliant and versatile artist, but is also an experienced sailor with a deep knowledge of sailing craft of all types... His helpful and knowledgeable advice and the reproduction of many of his fine paintings are just what struggling maritime painters of all standards need. His book is lavishly illustrated, contains much encouraging and helpful advice and is an excellent practical guide.' Artists' and Illustrators' (June? 2007) 'Anthony's guide to this often-neglected subject is worth the wait.' The Artist (July 2007) 'Will appeal to the armchair enthusiast and budding painter alike.' Seafarer (Summer 2007) 'Anthony Flemming is, in my opnion, a very fine artist wo can portray boats, the sea and things associated with the sea exceptionally well.' 'If you have any ability at all with sketching or painting, this book should be inspirational. ' Sailing Today {Main} (June 2008)
