出于对水墨艺术的爱好，从小王明明对于传统的东西就学习得非常多，他最喜欢明四家、石涛、八大，还有任伯年、吴昌硕，他广泛地涉猎和吸取他们的营养，这些画家的技法对他的影响都非常大。他举例说，画《兰亭序》，就要先研究历代画家是怎么画这个题材的，等他去兰亭实地考察了以后，他就想自己怎么把个人的感受和从古代画家那里学到的东西有机融合在一起，变成自己的画面风格，这是他的一个主要创作流程。他觉得一个画家必须去研究前人的创作规律和作品成功的各种因素，然后再确定自己如何去吸收这些东西。
吸收传统不是从风格上、从笔法上硬去结合，它应该是画家理解了以后，变成一种“化境”。风格是画家根据自然给自己的感受、自身的文学功底自然地形成的，而不是某种样式的机械复制。所以王明明强调，画家不要一味地追求“更独特”的风格，如果你追求这种极端独特的风格，它会在你的创作上变成一个壳，最后会成为发展自己真正风格时的一个障碍。他说，我们画界有很多问题，就是出在我们想重视技法、重视传统，可是被很多传统技法所束缚住了。王明明在回顾历史上杰出画家继承前人风格的时候说，这些画家的画面看起来感觉和前人相似，但实际上完全不是前人的风格了，他已经有自己所理解的东西，所以他才能成就另外一个时代的一种新的样式、新的风格：能够创造出新风格的人，必定是对前一种风格理解最为深入的人，他理解了前人的东西，又不被前人所束缚。可是杰出画家为什么能不被前人所束缚呢?为什么又有很多画家却跳不出来呢?王明明认为成功的画家必须具备两个功夫：一个是能深入传统的功夫，第二个就是他对于所处的现实的强烈感受,要通过高超的造型能力体现出来，这两种功夫缺一不可。比如说，画家不具备造型能力，没有个人感受，只有临摹的能力，那他肯定会陷入古人的圈子里；反过来，画家具备了个人感受和造型能力，可是没有吸收中国画的传统，他的笔墨只能陷于某一个层次，很难有发展。一个画家只有具备这样两个能力的时候，才可以在传统里面自由出入。具备了这两个能力的艺术家还要逐年慢慢深入地研究中国画的精髓，不同年龄段对于国画传统的理解不一样，表现出来的笔墨也就是不一样的，到了一定的程度就会呈现出自己独特的面貌来。

王明明近十几年来进行了大量的创作，作品题材广泛，创作有感而发。他力求通透传统，强调意趣，以文人画恬淡美与现代意识相融，以传统笔墨精神与生活深度相融，别具新风。代表作如《杜甫》、《招魂》、《卖炭翁》、《虔诚的信徒》、《苗乡三月》、《林泉高逸》等作品给人留下难忘印象。作品通过泼墨、泼色，工与写、动与静，用点、线、面肆意表现娴精的中国画笔墨，将人们带到梦幻而现实的境地之中。作品多次参加全国大型画展。作品多次参加全国大型画展，引人注目、深得同行们的认同和赞许。王明明曾在新加坡、日本、香港、台湾、加拿大等地举办个展及讲学，影响颇大。

For the love of art, from Wang Mingming to the traditional learning things very much, his most love the four, Shi Tao, eight, and Ren, Wu Changshuo, he is widely read and absorb their nutrients, the impact of these techniques on his painters are very large. For example, he said, painting "Lanting Pavilion" in order, we must first study the history of the artist is how to draw this theme, so after his field trips to Lanting Pavilion, he wanted to own personal feelings and how to learn from the ancient painters where things to integrate into their own picture of style, this is one of his the main creation process. He felt that a painter must study the laws of his predecessors and the success of the various factors, and then determine how to absorb these things.
Not from a combination of absorption of traditional style, from writing hard to understand, it should be a painter, become a kind of "sublimation". Style is the painter according to nature to their feelings, their own literary foundation naturally formed, rather than some kind of mechanical reproduction. So Wang Mingming stressed that artists should not blindly pursue "unique" style, if you pursue this extremely unique style, it will be in your creation into a shell, finally will become an obstacle to the development of their true style. He said, we draw a lot of problems, that is, we want to pay attention to techniques, attention to tradition, but was bound by many traditional techniques. Wang Mingming in the review of history outstanding painters inherited style, these pictures of the artist looks and previous similar, but is actually not the previous style, he has his own understanding of things, so he can make another era of a new style, new style: to create the new style of the people, must be on a style most in-depth understanding, he understood the previous things, and not be bound by previous. But the outstanding painter why can't be bound by previous? Why have many artists will not jump out? Wang Mingming thinks that a successful painter must have two Kung Fu: one is to further the traditional martial arts, the second is his strong feelings on the reality, to be reflected by the superb modeling ability two, this effort is indispensable. For example, the painter does not have other abilities, no personal feelings, only copying ability, and that he would fall into the circle; in turn, the painter has personal feelings and modeling capabilities, but did not absorb the China tradition of painting, his pen and ink in only one level, it is difficult to develop. Only when an artist has such two abilities can he freely enter the tradition. With the capacity of the two artists to deeply study the essence of Chinese slowly year by year painting, different ages for the traditional Chinese painting is not the same understanding, the text is also shown is not the same, to a certain extent will be showing their own unique features.
