I always try to separate out the process of 'doing' and 'thinking'. While I'm outside painting, I never worry about the end product. It's far more important to me to have a positive experience and get some of that on the paper so I have lots of interesting marks, shapes and colours to work with back at the studio.
--------------------------------------------------
Working with mixed media using a variety of different paints. I work rapidly but build up the paintings in layers to make sketches that can be referenced in studio paintings.
Lewis Noble has lived and worked in Derbyshire since 1996. His focus lies in the physical and emotional impact of the landscape on the senses and the effect this experience has on us.
His paintings are not snapshots or photographic frozen moments but through repeated layering and eroding of the painted surface, they contain all of the time it takes to make them.
The result is a body of work that speaks to the heart of what it means to be part of the environment.
For years I’ve always focused on the final outcome of everything I’ve drawn or painted, watching your videos inspire the joy of process and letting go of the finality, thank you!
The irony is you’re more likely to get a good outcome if you don’t worry about!
I have learned just enough to know that to capture the essence of a place, object, or feeling I should get the shapes, colors, lines, etc. that speak to me down on paper. It’s so helpful to actually see it done in practice. Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m inspired to give it a go.
Thanks! Very pleased you enjoyed it.
Always look fwd to watching new videos of you PAINTING.....
Always want to paint as I watch.....
Loose
Free
Fun
Yay
Thanks Lewis
You’re welcome!
Great on location sketches… sumptuous mark making. Super exciting to see your process. Thanks so very much for sharing in this way!
Love watching you paint and really appreciate seeing the glimpses of what are your inspiration.
so inspiring - enjoyed how the interspersed video conveyed how your experience and eye was moving around the scene and referenced back on the page with marks
i find your unconventional method of working really unusual. It worka a treat. loving it.
Very helpful video. Thank you . And lovely to see glimpses of Craster, reminders of happy visits.
love the new format for the videos. Wonderful to watch you paint
Thanks!
I feel joyful and smell like on the beach.
Watching from Thailand
Yes I can see now how you incorporate lots of different objects and textures. Really interesting Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thank you (video) for an interesting and innovative way of approaching an artwork. The mark making is beautiful. Cape Town
Hi! Watching you, I got the hint that a landscape is rather abstract on its own, so, if I allowed colours and shapes to take command, I'd get feeling rather than "reason", I'd grasp a kind of new meaning. Thanks!
Most insightful sir. Thoroughly enjoyed and mined quite a few gems.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Again a very nice video what inspires me a lot. I dont can waithe to see more Lewis
Thank you!
I enjoyed seeing your process….very helpful the way you noted where your eye traveled. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Love it, Lewis. Can’t wait to rip and paste. 😘
Go for it!
Hi Lewis, You are so generous to show your process. And perfect for people like me who don't need step by step instruction. Your video doesn't lend to copying (one couldn't possibly!) but it frees up our own selves--it gives ideas and energy. Regarding your mediums: You look like you are using an oil pastel or a stick of color (for the orange, for instance) right over the wet acrylic. What is that? I'm a bit mystified how all your mediums cooperate with each other. Thank you again............ and again.
Thanks! It probably is an oil pastel.
Loved watching this, and seeing the bits of scenery you were looking at, that inspired your mark making and process. The only thing that was missing for me was hearing the local sounds, as I find they will often make there way into the piece. Thanks for posting your process and thinking, I have learned a lot and find your videos inspiring!
You’re welcome
Great idea to intercut the scenery during the process, love your work.
Thanks!
Very interesting process. Thank you. I assume you can do the same with a picture. Lots of life in your work :)
I love your process and your work.
Really nice to see your process. Thank you!
You're welcome!
It is just mesmerising. Thank you
Too kind!
Muito interessante. Gostei das etapas de criação e o resultado final. Obrigada!
Informative. Fab! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I never knock any form of visual art but that doesn't mean I understand it or tune into it, so to speak. I will say it is fun to do loose abstracts although the drawback for me is they don't sell. I haven't a clue what is going on in this video yet it is enthralling to watch.
I enjoyed this but most importantly finally got it… about drawing and painting a collection of the elements of landscape that I see, not necessarily related to one another, but later arranged somewhat like notes in a music composition. And speaking of music, I prefer your videos without the addition of music. I could faintly hear background sounds, children, dogs, birds, water lapping against the rocks… and I wanted to hear fore of that as you painted, but instead of my senses of sight and natural sound the mechanical music interfered. Thank you for your generosity, free videos free for those of us who are not in your paid audience.
Amei tudo isso , Obrigada por compartilhar esses momentos tão preciosos para nós artistas ,, Me inspira a continuar buscando a minha identidade ..
Thanks!
Love studying the evolution of your painting processes.
You have captured the essence of the water and stone. I just love it!
Thank you very much!
Great work Lewis
Thanks!
Inspiring demo. Thank you. 😊
Thanks!
Loved this video. ❤ Just wondering what are you using for those very black, bold lines ? Oil pastel?
That is beautiful
Thanks!
I always enjoy watching your process…….it’s so free! May I ask about the small pencil you use for mark making? I love the fine lines you make it. I will continue to watch and be amazed and inspired. I only wish I lived close enough to take one of your courses. Thanks for sharing so much!
Thanks, there’s always the online course!
Very helpful thank you
❤ thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thanks!
No problem!
What is the very black Crayon like pencil,that you use,its very bold,I like it.
Maybe a Woody 3-in-1?
Maybe a woody or oil pastel.
Beautuful energy
Thanks!
I see what you did there.
:)
Inspiring. Love your work and scenery.
Thank you very much!
Thank you fir sharing your process ....found it illuminating...can I ask what is in spray bottle you used to move ink around early in video? Many thanks
Thanks it’s just water and acrylic, no ink.
@@LewisNobleArtistthank you...
Fabulous movement...is the pink an oil stick??
Your work is so complex, difficult for me to understand how your marks are reflecting the photos shown. Your sketchbooks and plein air drawing videos are generally so inspiring to me yet I just don’t get the thinking behind this one that’s a “how to”!
very interrsnting. those pencils what kind they are?
Watercolour
Love your work, the color choices
makes them pop...
May I ask, what types of pencils/ markers do you use???
Are the oil based or water proof??
Thank you..
Water solvable.
What material did you used ?
Acrylic
I absolutely love this video. It stimulates all kinds of ideas. , Please, next time lower the camera so we can’t see your distracting hand movem during explanation. thanks.
This video is from 2021!
Hi Lewis, I have left two messages via your webpage for an online workshop but haven’t had a reply?
Hi I’ve not had any emails from you. What was it you wanted to know?
@@LewisNobleArtist hi, I was asking through your webpage about your online course. I live in Portugal. I sent messages maybe a month ago…I wanted to know the details of when your next one is and how I can find out more about it. Maybe I needed to look through your website more?
Thank you
No problem. Here’s the link for the next course in October lewis-noble-workshops.teachable.com/
I found your introduction a great insight into abstraction, and I like the finished piece.
But in all honesty, I don't know why you needed to be where you were, outside?
I may be missing something, but I can not relate any of your marks to the landscape, colour maybe.
There was some delicious texture in those concrete bases that I couldn't see anywhere, I want to see it, I want to understand it, but if we are trying to replicate the innocence of the uninformed mind of a child, we can do that just by uninformed mark making?
I guess I can't see why you need a view to create something that has no relevance to it.
I'm interested to hear what yourself and others make of this, and how it, might inform me. 😊
I love your abstract art and to watch you working, but, try as I might, I simply cannot relate to the landscape in this way. ☮
I find abstractions through working rather than seeing them while there. At the risk of being self serving, this is what my workshops are about. The one in Autumn especially. :)
That was so juicy
Thanks!
how to abstract a landscape... doesnt say a thing about it
