Career
At an early age Fielding became a pupil of John Varley. In 1810 he became an associate exhibitor in the Old Water-colour Society, in 1813 a full member and in 1831 President of that body (later known as the Royal Society of Watercolours), until his death. He also engaged largely in teaching the art and made ample profits.
He later moved to Park Crescent in Worthing and died in the town in March 1855.
He painted a vast number of all sorts of views (occasionally in oil-color) including marine subjects. Specimens of his work from 1829 to 1850 can be seen in the water-colour gallery of the Victoria and Albert Museum and other major museums.
Among the engraved specimens of his art is the Annual of British Landscape Scenery, published in 1839.
