This is exactly what other art channels never talk about. They just show how they make things but never why... I know it’s hard to describe a thought process, but maybe you could go into more details by having us follow you through one of those a-ha moments and see where they lead you.
Todays video was interesting to see how you think about the various stages of painting. I do enjoy watching the outdoor sketching and paint splashing. Thank you.
Thank you so much .... such a privilege to be let into an artist's process. I would love to see how the black and white sketches are used as inspiration for acrylic paintings.
Found your talk today interesting Lewis, especially that having a number of work "on the go" - can be OK. A problem I feel guilty about, is when incomplete/ unfinished work piles up, and the motivation is long forgotten !
Enjoyed this very much. The tour of the studio (ooh, I'd love to have such a space!), the various pieces you're working on, and chatting about your ideas. More of these, please!
Lewis hi, really enjoyed this video, and it’s also a great reminder that it’s ok to change our mind with the direction a painting’s going part way through. Thanks
Thanks. I appreciate this format! The time lapse videos don’t give me any information that’s useful. You inspire and teach! You have so many rare gifts!
Fascinating insight into your working process - so often RUclips art videos are just time lapse efforts that lack the insight of the artist. Thank you for sharing
It was great to hear you talk about how you work and the way things develop, as well as getting to see stuff on the go in your workshop. Always interested to hear and watch anything to do with process. Enjoying working through lots of your videos and finding them very inspiring.
Loved it....much the same way I work on my paintings, but I find small canvasses/paintings difficult, so this gave me new ideas. I will have a look at your other videos, thank's for the inspiration.
Thank you Lewis. I am gaining so much inspiration from seeing your videos and carrying some of that inspiration into my own working habits. The energy you capture in you plein air work is invigorating! This video was very informative about mindset and practice. Thank you for all your sharing. So generous.
Thank you for sharing your process and studio with us.This is an older video of yours, which I somehow missed. So happy I came across it! I am presently in a MFA program here in Vermont, USA, and have been so stuck with my paintings as of late. You and your work are inspiring. I hope to be able to afford one of your workshops sometime soon.
Has a old grease garage look about it, probably the walls - excepting being on the 2nd floor. Actually the impression that gets to me is the Road Map, in getting there.
I'm watching this video for the first time today. I've already watched/listened to it twice. One of the things that I really enjoyed and connected with was the way you explored your process by showing and telling. It's so helpful and useful to me to hear your thoughts as you're creating and recreating. In that way the video feels like an expose of the creative process; it also remind me of underpainting, how as artists we are always looking and trying to see what's present and what's waiting to be revealed. Really, really enjoyed this. Thanks!
Wonderful video giving a great insight into your current work’ With lots of ideas to explore and works on the go’ interesting as always and thank you for sharing
Lewis, thanks for the tour of your studio - always wanted to see it. I enjoyed the video and the way you opened up about your approach to the studio paintings - good to understand the link between the field and studio work. I look forward to seeing the continueation of this work. All the best, Richard
Thanks Lewis, that was great. The more we are isolated, the more enjoyable it is to travel through videos like this. :) I’m so inspired by your other videos I’m nearly ready to venture out! Feel free to do a what to pack in your sketch kit video I’ve been looking closely to get a sense of what to take .thanks again, great videos.
Is it possible to put the videos in chonological order? It would make it easier to find certain ones. I don’t like missing one and sometimes I like to go back to review. These are so valuable. Thankyou.
Thank you Lewis for this video, very helpful. I just came back from Donegal, in the northwest of Ireland, fantastic scenery and so many shapes, colours, textures and I didn't know how to put that together in a way that is not predictable. And thank you for the tour of your studio. One question, do you use Woody pencils in your paintings? If you do, how do you seal Them? As they are watersoluble. Thank you.

I would love more of these types of videos - showing process and thinking behind the work.
@Archie Lewis yeah. No one cares.

Thanks for watching. I'm sure I'll do more of that kind of thing as I go on. Cheers!

That large grey one is stunning
Thank you!

Wonderful stuff. Now to the harbour!
Lewis hi, really enjoyed this video, and it’s also a great reminder that it’s ok to change our mind with the direction a painting’s going part way through. Thanks
Definitely, please keep on with the video! I love the sketching ones, but can't wait for the large format work in progress...
Thanks. I appreciate this format! The time lapse videos don’t give me any information that’s useful. You inspire and teach! You have so many rare gifts!
Love the idea of working on more than one painting at once. Very inspiring video!
Thanks Patrick

Totally absorbing, 😊 thank you!

Glad to find this video, loved hearing about your process and made me think about turning my own process around. Thank you

Really enjoyed that talk and I found it very interesting. Looking forward to see how the large canvases get resolved.
Me too!

This is a great help as I’m trying to work on multiple canvasses at the moment. Great video- thanks again.
I love the metre square canvas just as it is!
Thanks it’s sort of finished. I’m just trying to decide.

Looking forward to see how the work develops.
your studio is AMAZING. Very well thought out and practical. My studio is in the loft.lol. but works well.
Well my previous studio was a basement so felt I deserved a bit of light and space! Thanks for watching
After watching the sketching videos, interesting to see their development. Fascinating to see, and inspirational. Love to hear more.
Thanks!
Beautiful
Thank you
Hi Lewis, yes this was very interesting. Thanks for posting! Have a great day! :)

Hi yes. Go to my channel and click ‘videos’ you can choose the play order. Also click the Bell icon as this will notify you of new video. Thanks.
Just discovered you and your work. And you're in a band, too? When on earth do you find time to play/sing?? 🤔😁
We only managed one gig this year back in Feb before the dark times! Always good to have different creative outlets.
Sympa ton atelier!!

Larger paintings always have oil over the top.
Are you planning any videos on your ceramic work?
Maybe, I’ve been thinking about expanding the range of the channel. Thanks for watching!
