Hi Lewis, I'm truly liking your tutorials. It's the actual painting that you do that inspires, coaches and teaches. I would love to see more of your process and less of the talking. What you share is helpful, but just as making marks rather than looking at the canvas and contemplating, so is seeing the process similarly. Please do more videos showing your process, perhaps in length to some degree. I would absolutley love that. I am a self-taught artist and enjoy seeing other artist's processes and gleanimg form that. Thanks for all your sharing, Carole G.

Great video. I have a question, if you get to read this comment: do you prefer working on primed or unprimed canvases? In your previous video, the one about stretching you used an unprimed canvas. What is the benefit/advantage for using unprimed versus primed? Is it the soft beige look, instead of the starch white surface or just the cost?

As a lovely contrast to the vigour of your mark-making, Lewis, I really like the blotted marks offset on the opposite page of the first sketch.

Wonderful, Lewis ! I love the idea that what we put in our notebooks can be just…. Ideas , notes -to-self ! A shape , an interesting line that we really like for some reason even though it is “not “a painting “

I have a thought often you will use inks for their transparent quality. I love using water color with acrylics!! I have never used quawash, or what ever! xoxox Kat from the Pacific Northwest....hmmm.

I completely agree that just looking won't change anything - but Lewis - looking/reflecting/observing opens me to possibility - to imagine "what" the painting might want. I find it quite useful to just be quiet with the work. Then, yes, pick up something and make a mark. That is essential.

Thanks Lewis, I’ve wondered about the different glues on offer and which to buy. It’s interesting you say after research you found PVA is generally PH neutral, so no need to worry about that. I would definitely buy the big tub as it does the job at the best price.

@sublimeister9630Ай бұрын
Depends on your style… Abstract Expressionism, yes, just make a mark. But if your piece has a bit of ideological substance to it, then stare and make mental visualisation marks where you can sort out the effects it is going to make beforehand.
@LewisNobleArtistАй бұрын
I’m not an abstract painter or abstract expressionist. I’ve been painting professionally for 30 yrs and I know that looking at my work thinking about what I should do makes no difference. As soon as I make a mark it all changes in reaction to what’s happening on the canvas. If I’d realised this earlier in my career would have made a lot more paintings. Everyone is different though so this is just me telling you what works for me.
