ABOUT LEWIS NOBLE
'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.

Thank God for your videos! I'm old and disabled and won't in my lifetime be able to travel to your beautiful home for a workshop so keep making them!
You're welcome!
I teach watercolor. I try to not teach the “purest” methods. Students learn traditional techniques the PLAY! Love your videos. Thank you!
Thank you! Paint is just paint, it's what you do with it that counts. I try to use different paints for their specific qualities (opaque/transparent etc) rather than how they're 'supposed' to be used.
Lewis I love the way you see the world
In my ignorance i had somehow thought that a whole painting was done in one type of paint! So this was a complete revelation. Goin to order some water colour and gouache! Thanks so much for enlightening me! Best R
Thank you for posting this. I love mixing my mediums but it never occurred to me to mix the watercolours with my acrylics in abstracts. Now I have more things to play with!
Wow! I do enjoy watching! Yes -- adding white gouache is new to me!
Love that you mix these various media becuz of their properties!
Re ally interesting to see 3 water-based media working together. Love the way the lines both divide the work and tie it together.
Thanks!
Really amazing! Love the contrasts you have created well done
Thank you very much!
Brilliant lesson again, very helpful thanks.
My pleasure!
I seem to be quite late in finding your videos, but thankfully I have! This video is exactly what I needed! Thank you very much! Hopefully u have continued to make them. I am headed to your website to look for on=line classes!
Great! Glad you found it useful. There's lots more videos on here!
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.
Beautiful painting‼︎ Wonderful‼︎ You very talented‼︎
I've never really got on with watercolour paints, I much prefer a nice thick texture!! Like you I like to see the brush marks in the paint!! Great video though and an interesting piece of work!! I'd love to do of your workshops.....one day 🙃
Lewis, I love your work and videos but don't agree. See Steve Quillers books on mixed watermedia for how they can be used together. Thanks for all the shared knowledge. I've started a collage notebook because of you!
..
Try aquacryl by lascaux. They also have a gouache It’s hybrid watercolor acrylic. Best of both. Also apply sizing or clear gesso to keep colors brighter
Very grateful for this extremely practical explanation…I am new to Acrylics so I am trying to use them like WC…obviously with not much success😜👌🧐
very informative video
Do you apply some sort of varnish or acrylic glaze over your finished pieces to seal? If yes, does adding that layer change the watercolor portions at all?
Only if on canvas or board not on paper.
Excellent tutorial, Lewis. I am very interested by your integration of the three different water-based mediums. What are your considerations for adhesion - particularly for the gouache? How do you protect against flaking when dry?
Thanks. I've not had any problems with gouache flaking off.
Lewis, love your work and videos. Can you give more detail on buying pva. Looked on Blick site but I don’t know how to narrow down what to buy. It is probably something Ican buy at our local craft store or hardware stores. Thank you. Found you via Louise Fletcher.
I've been thinking about mixing paints recently, so this video was very timely! One question: If you like the effects of the watercolor paint, and want to keep it, have you ever covered the area with a gloss medium? I would think it would allow that area to become un-mixable. Thank you Lewis!
That was very interesting and informative Lewis!! Thank you!
Great looseness and confidence building up these layers. Do you think you could achieve the same effect using black gouache instead of acrylic ? Thank You
I'm sure you could get good results with gouache but they're very different paints. Acrylics will dry permanently and work fluid as well as impasto. Gouache never dries to a point where you can't re wet it and is designed to be used as flat colour. I think the best thing to do is experiment and use different paints for their specific qualities. Thanks for watching!
Hi Lewis - as always an interesting video! You mention the need with 'pure' watercolour to maintain highlights and light areas (working always from light to dark) but one thing you demonstrate very well (but don't discuss) is the ability when using opaque paint to recover highlights even over dark paint. In theory when working in acrylic, you could start with BLACK paper and work towards the lightest areas. You could never do that with pure watercolour.
Very true. I spent a lot of time on this yesterday in my workshop. Thanks.
I like it
Thanks
Love this! I’m in love with gouache atm. Combining all three is great!! How do you seal/ finish these?
Thanks! It would go behind glass if on paper.
Lewis Noble Artist I’ve just finished 3 pieces at the same time, it’s the bomb! Mixed media paper warped, can you unwarp it?! Wish I could post a pic here to show you what I achieved👌.
Good stuff! If you’re on my FB group for workshops you can share your work there. Search Lewis Noble Painting Courses on FB. I always crop and collage my work on paper. Once dry I flatten out under boards with weight on top.
Hello, I really enjoyed this demonstration thank you! I wondered what kind of paper do you use in this? And is it the same kind of paper you use in your en plein air paintings, as it seems quite robust and not textured like some watercolour papers? Thank you
Thanks. Just heavy cartridge. Nothing special. WC paper too absorbent for this unless primed.
@@LewisNobleArtist I have a huge roll of pacon easel paper........the kind you have for children. would that suffice?
What is the paint color you squeezed on near the black...sort of green? Gorgeous!
I could be wrong but it it looks like he used yellow ochre!?! I'm not a 100% sure!!
Samantha JM Sutherland Artist I think it’s green good or sepia...but sepia is not green..I just love the earthy color.
@@1sunnydeb maybe but when you mix a yellow with black it can come out green, that's what got me thinking it's yellow ochre....like I said it's just a guess 🙂 income of his other videos he mentions about not always using ready mixed colours, he shows using yellow and black to make green!!
Hi it was W&N Artist’s Olive Green. I do often mix my greens but this is a really nice one. Olive green varies a lot from manufacturers and even ranges within the same brand.
@@LewisNobleArtist Ah mystery solved!! I like W&n myself they are a lovely consistency...it made a lovely colour when mixed with the black!!
Hi Lewis. I absolutely love your videos and I have just booked on the course you are going to run at Coverack in October. This video is great and I just wondered if you could tell me please where you buy the blue roll of paper from. I'm on Louise Fletcher's course at the mo, and she tells us her supply comes from America - I do hope that you buy yours from the UK :) Bee
Hi thanks! Blue roll is from Costco but it must be available elsewhere. eBay? See you in October all the best.
@@LewisNobleArtist The best I have found is from Screwfix. 6 rolls of heavy duty paper.
I thinkI found some pva to buy. Lineco Neutral PH Adhesive 8 oz. $10.99 US.
So long as it’s not ‘washable’ for kids you’ll be fine.
@@LewisNobleArtist is the stuff like titebond from the hardware store usable? it dries yellow tho
love sent .......
Thanks
