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.
I've been waiting for composition! So thanks for these lessons, Lewis. I wonder if there are next levels of composition to consider. It would be useful to take images that meet all four criteria described in this video (dark/light; busy/quiet; different marks; limited palette) and THEN look at what is working and not; it's that next level of composition that may take us to issues like shapes, proportions, leading the eye, etc., that would be great to engage with, here or in the monthly group.
Thank you all the points you were making are so helpful😊
You're welcome!
Great video! Nice and down to earth explanation with clear examples of finding the balance. I am very new to painting with no training and it’s very easy to go from bland to chaotic and somehow miss the in between. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hello Lewis, yes i think contrast is what makes a painting sing.I so appreciate your no fuss approach with yr videos. Thankyou so much for sound advice.👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful, Lewis. It also made me aware that my sensibilities lean toward the quiet--and that’s ok. I love seeing inside your big journals, and look forward to doing more of that in the New Year: making free, gestural marks, cropping pieces of those, and reassembling into a big journal. Thank you for your videos!! Be well!
Thanks for watching!
Looking at all my duds
Needed this
Thanks!
Glad it helped!
You seem to make everything so clear, yet, it isn’t easy, is it!
Sorry! Practice makes perfect(ish)
Very interesting! I feel you just gave me a new way of looking at my work. Thank you!
Excellent!
Thank you i enjoyed your comments, very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Yeah, I like critiquing my own work too…😉
Always good to look at what works and what doesn't
I enjoyed this video, very helpful. I accidentally hit the thumbs down icon…so so sorry, I then hit the thumbs up…hope that cancelled my mistake!
No worries! Thanks for watching
What about Jackson Pollock. All over energy.
Yes
No focal point
Sure but that’s Abstract Expressionism where the intent is very different. Artist like Pollock wanted to get as far removed from traditional painting as possible with the almost subconscious movement and rhythm of the body and mind. I’m looking to express the external world as I experience it, so I still want a compositional structure to guide the viewer’s eye around the image.
Yes I understand thanks
My oil pastels do not ever dry. If yours do can you please tell me which ones you use?
They can be quite waxy and usually stay soft.
@@LewisNobleArtist they never dry fully. Always frame with a matt.
Your scarf is muffling your mic. Otherwise great vid as usual.... very informative.
I know, you’d think I’d know better by now!
