Monoprinting with acrylic paint

[@artshaman]

This is quite the journey...so many layers, but in the end, the piece comes together very well. Your process is fascinating to watch. Thank you for taking the time to share this!

[@DanTirels]

Thank you so much!

[@susannahyoung5859]

Fascinating. Thank you for not talking about your dog or daily trails. It’s so refreshing to just be immersed in the process.

[@DanTirels]

Thanks, my dog gets enough attention on his instagram profile.

[@hildaklap8526]

Uwielbiam eksperymentowanie w malarstwie, ciągłe poszukiwania i zaskakujące efekty, szczególnie bliskie są mi szablon i monotypia .A to są właśnie te klimaty !!!

[@denapeterson1112]

Your videos are not only inspiring, but they are very therapeutic during this crazy election week in the States! Thank you!

[@DanTirels]

Glad you like them! I do hope they offer a form of escape, we all need that !

[@DrummerGrrrl]

These videos are so ASMR soothing! Learn new painting techniques AND be calmed by the scraping, crinkling sounds. A bonus! 🤣😃

[@DanTirels]

Glad you like them!

[@mousharma8157]

[@artgeometrix6346]

So satisfying when you pulled off those card cutouts. Awesome result.

[@DanTirels]

Thanks so much!

[@lynnjeffries7525]

04:45 a.m total insomnia so I get up to watch art videos and find this! Now i want to rummage around the house to see what I can find so I can try this!

[@DanTirels]

Good to know that I have provided some inspiration. I try to make each demo uncomplicated and try to make use of recycled materials when possible.

[@angieculasso5964]

I like your freedom. Thanks. Great ideas

[@DanTirels]

Glad you like them!

[@purpleplump6650]

Wow! I love the colours you used.......and the addition of the netting made such a difference, even though I didn't think it would!. 😊👌😊

[@DanTirels]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@thefabfin]

Thanks Dan, for getting me through these times!!

[@nadinemercader3209]

Thank you for the video; I particularly love the silence while you work! Would you please share what the paper is that you are using?

[@valeriebidewell1422]

Really smart. love it

[@DanTirels]

Glad you like it!

[@medhan847]

Wonderful

[@carolynsechler2873]

this was so inspiring thank you

[@DanTirels]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mousharma8157]

Dan one request, kindly mention the colors you are using, it'll help to understand, because the depth of colours can achieve by putting right colours.

[@DanTirels]

I will try to update this with more details.

[@mousharma8157]

@@DanTirels thanks, looking forward 👍

[@michellefallon176]

Hi Dan, do you gesso your paper before using acrylics/do you find it necessary? Following your inspirational demos, i tried charcoal with acrylic for the first time, really enjoyed it.

[@DanTirels]

No I don't feel that there is a need to apply gesso, always use a heavyweight card (200gsm) Hope you find inspiration from the videos.

[@leslieray8174]

Dan, I love your work! Can you please tell me what material you used to make the "frame" that you tape down before you start painting? I'd like to make something similar so that I don't have to go through so much masking tape.

[@DanTirels]

Just use cardboard with clear or parcel tape on both sides. I have these in various sizes and they are very useful. There is a video to show this process.

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Some pieces of muslin would work, to make a cool texture, as well.

[@stephenpauldavies]

I just found your posts this weekend and am so inspired to go give it a try. Just a small question - what colours would you recommend I use as a first try or what should I avoid? Thanks so much for making this public.

[@DanTirels]

Thank you. I would begin with all 3 primary colours (red, yellow, blue) with the addition of black and white. With this simple selection you will find that you can create a whole range of colours and shades. Look up a basic colour wheel online because this will really help.

[@mikerodrick2430]

What type of acrylic are you using? Not brand, but weight?

[@DanTirels]

I am using a standard acrylic paint, but I think the heavy body acrylic would work just as well if not better.

[@sabihamerabet3053]

Magnifique 😍

[@ThaisMagdalenaBertrandGodoy]

Excelent, I like verte mucho. Congratulation!

[@anniedugo713]

Heureuse de vous retrouver 😳

[@reginemeyer602]

superbe

[@minnahumble2294]

Unique techniques. Thanks for sharing. One question: don’t you think this is painting and not mono printing?

[@DanTirels]

I always use the description mono printing to describe some of my work as it helps people to find them, KZbin doesn't always post my new videos to those who are interested.

[@gunnarg8074]

how did that paper not curl one inch!

[@rebeccamartin3744]

Thanks for the morning pick me up. Great to wake up to besides the results from the election. I'd much rather watch you!

[@DanTirels]

Thanks, I think we all need a break from that (even in the UK)

[@MarikaRealtor]

Hi Dan, great work, thank you for sharing! In some previous comments, someone had asked you about the materials you use. Would plz share? I would love to know what kind of spray do you use and also, the purpose of that spray is to retard the layer or to seal the layer so it doesn't smudge and mix with the next one? Thank you in advance 🙏

[@DanTirels]

I don,t think I used a spray for this, if I use a charcoal stick for drawing over the paint I would always spray with a fixative.

[@JanisGagliardi]

what type of paper are you painting on?

[@DanTirels]

This is a 200gsm smooth card.

[@gaylawhitfield7816]

[@aminaamina5136]

magnifique,moi je vois un homme vêtue en noir qui cherche sons chemin.

[@DanTirels]

C'est très intéressant. J'aime l'idée que les gens voient des choses différentes et voient l'art d'une nouvelle manière, cela le rend intéressant.

[@hansbaugh630]

I missed you Dan are you doing okay?

[@DanTirels]

Thanks, I'm OK, been busy with my new rescue dog Buzz, but I hope to start work on many more videos this month.

[@hansbaugh630]

@@DanTirels Looking forward to new paintings. I was wondering whether you got a new dog. Lately, I've had stray cats coming around, so I'm feeding them and they are entertaining to watch. Be safe Dan.

[@marie-michelemartinez933]

Toujours cet affreux bleu à la fin dommage

[@DanTirels]

Vous n'êtes pas obligé d'utiliser ces couleurs
