Dan Tirels Moonoprinting demo, Monoprint oil paint

[@edithschenkel3832]

Oh! I finally got it! I’m used to working with plates and printing from that. But he is printing directly on to the paper, which is framed by the cardboard! Neat!

[@edithschenkel3832]

So amazing!

[@DanTirels]

Thanks

[@DanTirels]

Thanks very much for all the great comments on this latest video, it is encouraging to know that many have enjoyed watching this process and trying the techniques for themselves.

[@philxdev]

showing this process in such a detail is really apprechiated.

[@ayla8343]

Dan Tirels might I add that I was in a bad place...this was perfect quality escapism...I was mesmerized mostly. TFS!

[@martinace1000]

One small step for Dan - One giant leap for Dankind!! Another masterpiece Mr Tirels!!

[@DanTirels]

Thanks, it was an experiment with this new format I'm trying but thought the scale of the subject fitted this panoramic composition.

[@dianebonneau2350]

Beach position and so achievable. Thank you Dan,,

[@jewelnavarrete3935]

Dan, Thank you so much for your generosity in showing us your skills. I even love the quietness of the videos but also the sounds of crinkling and paper tearing. awesome stuff!!

[@DanTirels]

I appreciate that! Thanks, I sometimes think the silence does help.

[@consideredwhisper]

Ooo, my favourite of all your prints! Beautiful

[@DanTirels]

Wow, thank you!

[@VisionsofChina]

And coincidentally watching it today 5 years later 20th July. Great work - gonna try it myself later - interesting to see you were inspired by Chinese scrolls. I live in China and my art has been influenced by the various Chinese styles, I love the freedom of the Chinese Ink Work which is also part of doing this monoprinting, I think, which as mentioned before has taken my art in a new direction. Thank you.

[@DanTirels]

Thank you, I'm pleased to know that you are experimenting with this technique and hope you achieve some excellent results.

[@contrapalabras2334]

Me encanta la sensación que producen esta y las otras obras de Dan Tirels. Me fascina esta técnica.

[@DanTirels]

Thank you so much, I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad that you enjoyed this demo.

[@quentinvanginhoven2231]

Beautiful work/effect. I like the combo of scroll and moon landing.

[@MissT2U1]

I Loved everything about this piece: the simplicity, the landscape format, the inspiration behind it, even the music!

[@DanTirels]

Thanks very much. I really liked working on this one and will try to make a new one soon, maybe a multi coloured one, I do like this format, great for landscapes but it also works as a vertical for figures etc. Thanks for watching.

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

Great lights and shadows, beautiful...thank you Dan!

[@DanTirels]

Thanks for your positive comment, glad you enjoyed this demo.

[@haroldkulp6982]

Thank you

[@infinifi2910]

Another stunner Dan! I think there must be a lot of people loving your work but forgetting to give a 👍

[@DanTirels]

Thanks very much its always good to know people enjoy the demos (apart from the 3 - 4 people who feel the need to give them a thumbs down no matter what I post ! )

[@lou9007]

@@DanTirels Weirdly you know your getting it right when the thumbs down start arriving, it's a very strange mark of success, it happened to some other artists I watch too, so just smile to yourself ;)

[@raggapuss]

Absolutely gorgeous... I think I might have to watch a few times to figure it out, being an absolute beginner to ‘trying my hand’ Thank you so much

[@irenacichova9721]

It makes me happy ♡

[@JoseAntonio-wt3zm]

Wonderful work ! And very appropriate for this day ! I like very much the landscape format.. Congratulations and thanks for sharing !

[@DanTirels]

Thanks very much I will use this format in the future and thought it worked very well on such a mind blowing subject as this.

[@jennyhughes4474]

@@DanTirels so do I, this is great, well done & thanks!

[@timothydaniels504]

I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a brush in any of your videos. I like that. Love your work.

I'm not keen on brushes, they never last.

[@DanTirels]

Glad you like it!

[@caleche8655]

Marvelous ! :)

[@Scottymol]

You make it look so easy. I have tried several times and still cant create a decent picture i'm happy with. I think it's to do with the amount of paint I'm using. Still enjoying the process though.

[@DanTirels]

It does not always work and I sometimes practice before each video I film. This particular is a favourite and the paint application had to be more thought out. It is always best to begin with very little paint, you can always add more later. Don't give up.

[@tribalbabymum]

Subtle but powerful.

[@peterney2402]

Reminds me of some of Paul kenny's photographic slide work on triplekite.

[@DanTirels]

Thanks very much, that is a huge compliment, I feel inspired by the way he incorporates the landscape into his photographs, his seawork series are stunning. I'm about to begin a series of monoprints working with discarded plastic waste collected from the beach, hope to post a demo of this in a few weeks. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

[@satansatansatan]

cool!

[@francinarichardson1238]

Is there a reason you use a pallet knife rather than a braver to spread the paint to the plastic?

[@DanTirels]

I like the fact that the pallet knife provides much more random surface marks, Thanks for watching.

[@francinarichardson1238]

I love your work. Thanks for sharing it with us. I tried your method with acrylic paint but I didn’t do so well. I see it takes some practice and skill. You make it look so easy. Again, my thanks.

[@otteroid2]

This one was special! One question - what was the drying time of the oil paint?

[@DanTirels]

I did this yesterday and it is now almost completely dry, it was a hot day and left in the sun. It normally takes 2 - 4 days for a larger work like this one.

[@otteroid2]

@@DanTirels Thank you so much for the information on drying times. It helps me a great deal as I plan to do some oil mono-prints. I've only worked in acrylics and water-based printing inks so far.

[@donnaoscolaighlange]

Love the texture! What is the transfer paper you use?

[@DanTirels]

This is a recycled plastic bag (can be used many times)

[@mapeandrews3951]

Nice idea to use the Chinese scroll format. Is that a magic eraser you use to smear the colors?

[@DanTirels]

I'm working with a dry sponge to gently blend the paint and add some tone to the work to give some depth.

[@maryteran6079]

I have always wondered what kind of paper you use?

[@DanTirels]

I always use a smooth card or cartridge paper (200gsm)

[@philipsamuels5623]

Hi Dan, could you tell me, do you jesso the paper first?

[@DanTirels]

I use very little paint applied in thin layers and always try to use a 200gsm paper or card so applying gesso isn't always necessary. I have used a white acrylic spray paint as a primer sometimes and thus helps.

[@leannestedman6219]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@andreamuller8468]

♡

[@francinarichardson1238]

Can you use acrylic paint rather than oil?

[@DanTirels]

You can work with acrylic, but on a large work like this I would use a retarder to slow down the drying time.

[@mrgregcat]

what paper are you working on?

[@DanTirels]

200gsm cartridge paper

[@Ruhi60444]
