2 Quick FIVE MINUTE Drawings. Compressed charcoal sketching - Lewis Noble

2 Quick FIVE MINUTE Drawings. Compressed charcoal sketching
Sometimes it's good to travel light when painting. I can get everything I need into a small rucksack and keep it simple. A short video of me sketching by the river near my studio.

Third in my new RIVERS series. Looking for something new in the familiar!
------------------
My new project focusing on the rivers near my home in #Ashbourne #Derbyshire. I'm not sure how long I'll be working on this theme but it'll be interesting to see how it develops.

--------------------------------------------------
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.

I discovered your channel a few days ago and I am watching all your videos, very inspiring. Today I worked almost 4 hours at 2 big pieces . Thank you! Greetings from NY

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Blimey! Thank you

[@geospectrum]

This is really encouraging me to do more sketchbook work and less 'finished' work. The idea being to use the sketch to inform my studio work and make better finished paintings. I'll be sketching locally during my daily lock down exercise. I'm hoping to join you on a workshop when the lockdown has been lifted.....

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Great! Thanks for watching and I'm glad it's helping you out. Hope to see you one day....

[@gretemollatt5120]

Magic !!!

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Thanks!

[@suzannewebb2418]

Water and charcoal, palette knife! Why has it taken me so long to find your work? I just stand in awe of what you do.

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Thanks!

[@jandean9268]

Love the way you push the mark making.

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Thank you!

[@lindaellis9349]

Excellent Lewis. You should do Saturday workshops for the kids in your local area!

[@margaritazagorie9509]

You are genius❤️

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Too kind

[@SKSKETCHING]

Amazing 👍

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Thanks!

[@christian53050]

Hmmm..pallet knife for charcoal drawing...interesting, will have to try...tank you for posting.

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Yes I do. Thanks for watching. I refer to these sketches when working on paintings in the studio.

[@wickchick1963]

Revelation! Immediately off to try water in charcoal, can't believe it never occurred to me!

[@fbales]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Do you use these sketches in the studio? How?

[@sharadamushti8540]

you’ve given me so much to explore and ways to interpret my experience. thank you for sharing. how do you fix your charcoal sketches? a regular fixative?

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Thanks! Just normal fix.

[@dsharpness]

I hadn't thought to wet the paper!😮

[@LewisNobleArtist]

It’s good! Only works with compressed charcoal though not willow sticks.

[@tinycuisine6544]

What you do is just magic. Can I ask you if it's normal compressed charcoal or a specific water soluble one? Thanks Lewis.

[@LewisNobleArtist]

It's compressed charcoal not willow, that's the important thing.

[@tinycuisine6544]

@@LewisNobleArtist Thanks very much for answering, Lewis.

[@birotomodachi]

Thanks again. I know I’m late to the comments I was wondering are you using a workable fixative or spray to seal your sketches after you finish? Cheers

[@angelamacleod2851]

What type of sketchbook is that? You mentioned cartridge paper, which is something I am not familiar with here in Canada.

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Try searching Amazon.com. I think it's called Bristol paper in USA and Canada but there's lot's on there. It's just ordinary drawing paper.

[@diannebond5656]

What boards are used for collage instead of using stretched canvas?

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Plywood FAQ here >> kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ_WiKGuls98Y6M

[@abstractpaintingwithmattha9262]

Do you ever collage your charcoal drawings?

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Thanks, yes. I only ever do these type of drawings in order to collage later. I'll do a video on it soon!
