It’s an excellent method to collect your work and a bank of designs, shapes, marks and colours, for future reference, following on this idea from Lewis, I’m now on with my twentieth volume of approx 25 paintings per book.
Thanks for sharing! I could watch footage of you creating those collages for hours haha It's really fun to watch and inspires me to give it a try as well :)
Great tutorial, Lewis. Really admire your ability to explore possibilities and make OK into fantastic! I will be working on this technique - it's also a fun way to learn.
I’ve learned a lot watching you and listening to you talk about your “why”. I also value my sketchbooks which are more studio journals than actual sketches. My question is why you’ve chosen to work on only one side of the page rather than front and back. It does keep the book from being too fat to close. Thanks for releasing some of your videos outside of your membership.
I've only just "found you" - I love your videos and your work! I'm new to art and the value of working in sketchbooks is becoming apparent to me. I plan to do your online course on collage & paint next year and wonder do you have a particular favourite brand of sketchbook and what paper weight do you find is good to work with? Thank you in advance!
Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Just finished a collage using old patterns and printing photos onto tracing paper. The ink isn’t stable so if you use mediums on it then it moves but that in itself is exciting. Your videos have encouraged me to just try what pops into my head and not worry.
Thank you for sharing. I always get energized to go paint when I watch your videos! I am signed up for your class in March and am very excited. Do you have any videos where you show how you approach the larger in-studio paintings and use the "sketches" in the process?
Love these collage videos you do. Would love a video going through some of the sketch books, no commentary necessary. BTW how are you getting on with the framing equipment? 👍
@LewisNobleArtist 1-What is your favorite brand of pastels to work with? 2- The medium that you use to glue the collage down- does it smear when you place the medium on top of the area or do you use a spray fixative to set the pastel that may be on paper beneath before you glue to prevent smearing? 3-If so, what brand fixative works best that you use and prefer? Thank you in advance
So to be clear, you don't actually make art IN your sketchbooks (or do you?), they are more of a way to keep a collection of works on paper that you want to keep for reference? If you do work directly in a sketchbook, do you tape off the edges to have clean edges?

Hi thanks. If you go to this workshop page on my website, you'll see a list of suggested materials with links. www.lewisnoble.co.uk/seascape-join
@@LewisNobleArtist - thanks for the link - you mention everything except sketchbooks & paper weight though!! 😉
👍👍 tq Lewis .. I myself love sketching 🩷 always .. i just love it 😊
Thanks for watching!

The course in March is studio work from sketches. I also have the ‘Paint it Big’ workshop on my website.

I think I did this ages ago so might still be on my channel somewhere. I might do it again though.

1. I don’t have one
2. PVA glue
3. I don’t use fix.
Any inroads to reaction painting to classical music???
Not really. All stems from experience in the landscape.

I make the collages directly into the sketch books so yes. I do the painting onto loose paper first.

Keeps them clean & I can take them out out if I get a good one!
