LEWIS NOBLE - DOVEDALE Part 2 Painting on canvas demonstration

[@peterbashford9262]

So many artists use technique over skill, but Lewis is the opposite, this work is done with so much integrity, with the artist taking an abstraction to a genuine feeling of the landscape he experienced at the beginning. A joy to watch, enthralled from start to end, a beautiful piece of work.

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Very kind thank you so much. I’ve been a bit slack on videos recently so must get back to it. Thanks for watching!

[@peterbashford9262]

@@LewisNobleArtist Haha, no thank you! It was inspiring to watch, I have recently being doing abstracts and now am surely going back to landscape. By the way I did send you a couple of emails for advice on pencils and medium?

'They are marks that have survived the process' I find that a beautiful way to feel about a painting... very inspiring... I will remember that thought...

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Thanks!

[@ginger451]

Thank you for doing this. I feel your demonstrations help tremendously in learning the process of being loose and less afraid.

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vaughanudall]

I have watched many painting videos but I must say as an artist myself this is by far the best yet. Lewis I love the way you go about creating your work. Every stage could be a finished painting in itself. Thank you.

[@LewisNobleArtist]

vaughanudall hi, thank you for your lovely message. I’m really pleased you’re enjoying them!

[@rosapillon]

Maravilhosa essa viagem de fora e de dentro ... com a pintura .. Me pareceu um pouco o Cezanne .. Fantastico Obrigada ..Me inspira tambem

[@s4ndancer]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching your technique. I use acrylics and have often wondered why some artists then go on and 're-paint' using oils on top. Now I know! I'm off to pick up some oils and will certainly have an explore. Thank you.

[@paulinehughes5325]

Excellent enjoying your work so much, must dash - you have given me so many ideas!

[@marychristensen5661]

Wow-- what a great demonstration! Thank you so much for sharing. I will watch for further demos-- very generous of you to take your time to do this!

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Thank you!

[@rlund651]

I love your work. An artists different brush strokes I find interesting. Your brush strokes are fast and slightly violent. I think your work shows a lot of power because of the way you paint. Thanks for sharing.

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Thanks, got to try and keep the energy in there!

[@margaritazagorie9509]

Thank you very much😊

[@diveparis]

Really have been enjoying your videos. A couple of questions if you don't mind. Have you ever gone back a repainted a painting from the same photo. For example I think if you were to repaint this painting from 3 years ago it would look quite different looking at your more recent work. Also I notice you use a lot of wooden boards. Is this just 1/2 plywood? Thanks, I really enjoy watching you paint and the thoughts you share while doing so.

[@LewisNobleArtist]

I haven't. These are all from paintings made outside, not from photos. I do go back to the same places from time to time though.

[@chloegilbert4261]

Do you varnish your paintings afterwards? What would you put over a painting like this one with acrylic underneath and oil paints on the top? Or do you not bother? BTW I love this painting of yours, my favourite so far.

[@LewisNobleArtist]

I would only ever use an oil based varnish. Most of the time they don't need it anyway as the layers of oil medium do the job. Thanks for watching

[@deniselini1366]

Not sure if you’ll see this Lewis😄but what’s on the rag you’re swiping paint off with? Is it wet with the medium? The paint comes off so easily

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Probably some white spirit. Thanks.

[@suzannekinsey4979]

so how long to dry with oil, normal time?

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Lots of variables. How thick paint is applied, room temperature, if medium is used, some will extend drying time (stand oil) others will speed it up ( alkyd, thixotropic). So anywhere from overnight to months.

[@lindachatfield3853]

This is great! Thank you so much. What is in the pot? Do you have a medium mixed with your oil colour?

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Linda Chatfield it’s an alkyd oil painting medium.

[@lindachatfield3853]

Lewis Noble Artist Thanks!

[@christian53050]

Do you mind telling us what fast drying medium you are using.

[@margjeeysink6395]

The whole time i see a black horse with a white spot on his forehead 😳 Nevertheless a beautiful painting!

[@LewisNobleArtist]

Thanks

[@ritamonaco8062]

What is the oil painting medium you use?
