Is This Course For You?
You love being out in wide, open landscapes but struggle to capture that feeling of space in your paintings
You've been painting for a while and want to be more expressive — less tight, more alive
You want personal feedback and guidance from a working artist, not just pre-recorded tutorials
You're ready to push your work in a new direction and discover what your paintings could become
It's so good for your mind and gives you a chance to clear your head.
In my own work, I aim to recreate that experience — making paintings which give back some of the sense of space and openness you have when out in the wild.
For many, recreating the emotion of an expansive landscape is what they yearn for. In this course, I'll show you the ways I've found to make paintings that go beyond describing what a place looks like and also communicate what it felt like to be there.
The Course
We'll start by gathering visual ideas outside — through a combination of sketches, photos and written notes. In the studio, we'll explore different compositions and work towards finished paintings.
Dealing with horizons — how to use them creatively rather than letting them divide your painting
Creating rhythm & movement — bringing energy and life to wide open spaces
Suggesting depth and space — making your paintings feel expansive, not flat
Exploring composition — finding bold, expressive arrangements from simple observations
How a little detail goes a long way — the balance between ambiguity and specificity
Mark making — developing your own language of marks to express what you see and feel
How It Works
In depth videos tutorials on a wide range of topics
Integrated community group here on the course website
Weekly LIVE Q&As
Personal feedback on all your work from Lewis over 2 weeks
12 Months unlimited access to all course material
This is a two-week course with personalised feedback and guidance from me throughout. After the initial two weeks, you’ll continue to have full access to all course materials and the community for a full 12 months.
You’ll receive in-depth video tutorials with clear, detailed demonstrations, designed to give you everything you need to create your own work with confidence. The demonstrations are presented as if you were attending an in-person workshop only better, because you can pause, rewind and rewatch them whenever you like.
As you work through the tutorials, you’re invited to share your progress in the private community group built directly into the course website. This makes the course highly interactive, with plenty of discussion, feedback, and support along the way.
Class sizes are kept intentionally small so everyone receives the attention they need. I don’t use a team of assistants, so all feedback and comments come directly from me.
Lewis performed magic during this course! I was amazed to see Lewis's own paintings, my work and that of others in the group open up as we applied his teachings about detail and ambiguity. Powerful stuff and all delivered in his uniquely thoughtful and down-to-earth style. Thanks Lewis.
Hi Lewis, I wanted to thank you for the course, I’ve loved it. It has really pushed me. I feel that it has helped me to trust in a creative process, and in doing so, I’ve learned to let go more and take risks. That seems to have given me a freedom to be much more creative with my work during the course, and I feel it’s going to make a big difference to my painting going forward, that’s a real gift, thank you
I moved to a wide open landscape a while ago and was struggling to draw and paint it. During part one of the course I made my best ever sketches of my landscape and in part two began to find a way to paint it. I much prefer to paint landscapes I know well, and as a result get to know the place even better, so this course was just what I needed! Thank you.

Lewis Noble is a UK-based abstract landscape painter whose work explores the experience of being in open, wild places. He exhibits and sells original paintings, and his work is held in private collections internationally.
Through his online courses, Lewis has taught over 1,000 artists to develop their own creative process. His YouTube channel has 28,500 subscribers, and his teaching is known for being warm, clear, and genuinely encouraging — focused on helping you find your way of painting, not copying his.
Absolutely. Over half of my students are in North America. The community and feedback work across all time zones — post your work whenever suits you and I'll respond. The live Q&As are all recorded so you can watch them at your convenience.
That's completely fine. You get 12 months of full access to all the materials. The 2-week live period is when I provide personal feedback on your work — but you can continue working through the tutorials at your own pace long after that.
If you're comfortable holding a brush and have some painting experience, you'll get a lot from this course. It's not about technical perfection — it's about developing your creative approach to landscape painting. Whether you've been painting for 2 years or 20, the process works.
I'll cover materials in the first lesson. You won't need anything unusual — basic painting supplies, a sketchbook, and something to draw with. The course works with any painting medium.
The on-demand courses are self-paced with no live interaction. Wide Open Landscapes is a live experience — I'm there with you for 2 weeks, giving personal feedback on your work, answering your questions in real time, and guiding you through the process. It's the closest thing to working with me in person.
