Dan Tirels Monoprinting with plastic bags and eggshells ? Recycled art materials.

[@rabbitgregory9289]

I loved all the crinkly crunchy sounds. It was like a meditation.

[@Squiffy1313]

Very interesting and perfect instruction without the unnecessary chatter that often accompanies such demos. The sounds of you working are perfect.

[@DanTirels]

Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed this.

[@savharali]

I only 'found' this guy a couple of weeks ago and I copied one of his monoprint videos to the letter. I LOVE it!!! I also very much appreciate the lack of voice or music in his videos, it helps me concentrate. I have loads of plastic bags and I'm currently cutting them up to use for my next attempt. I thank him for the time and effort he puts in to share his incredible skills with others who would otherwise have to pay a fortune to go for private art lessons.

[@DanTirels]

Thanks, glad you appreciate the videos, its always good to pass on a few creative tips. The use of recycled plastic is important and the more I can encourage people to try this has got to be a good thing. Never throw away and always re-use the plastic ! Good luck with your work.

Gorgeous I love this piece

Me too. New subscriber currently binge watching

[@janislf7584]

Looks more like a collagraph than a monotype. Very creative Dan, using materials everyone has on hand. Thank you for sharing.

[@DanTirels]

Iv'e been describing them as monoprints for so long now that I think it just helps to find them when searching on KZbin ! Iv'e always thought of them as a type of mono-printing.

[@Biju2223]

Again an inviting demo for me to follow and play with . The results are simply stunning and no one can ever create the same. So,let’s go and play with your technique...bravo!

[@DanTirels]

Thank you.

[@wandakowalski7063]

Was having a complicated morning ... Threw hands up in air, made coffee and thought "Dan" ... Watched the quiet video with just sounds of crinkling etc.... Rest of day seems easy now! Thanks!

Great use for egg shells. The print is awesome. When turning the print, you stopped on the side that is my favorite. Never tire watching you create. Thanks for sharing.

I love how the monochrome turned out and bet it would be beautiful in sepia too. This little beauty gives the eyes a much needed break from the multitude of colors of the world.

Moc děkuji za milá slova. Těší mě, že jste se nechali inspirovat videi. Chápu potíže s překladem a přeji si, aby bylo možné zobrazit všechny jazyky. Důvod, proč ve videích nikdy nemluvím, je ten, že by byly vhodné pouze pro ty, jejichž mateřským jazykem je angličtina. Doufám, že většina je bude snadno sledovat bez ohledu na jejich jazyk.

No the small tin just contains oil paint, I sometime do this because it is more easy to use than the tubes.

Very cool. Way to think outside the box.

[@georgettesledge6079]

I love this idea 😍👍👍👍👍

[@otteroid2]

Dan, Dan, Dan! The egg shells made great shapes. I liked that you broke the shells on the paper and then arranged some of them.

[@DanTirels]

Thanks, this only works if you remember to remove the thin membrane from inside the shell, otherwise the pieces won't separate.

[@gaylecosgrove5212]

Inspirational, so creative 🙏

You are so welcome!

[@lou9007]

I just happen to have eggshells put to one side you know as you do lol I keep them to entertain the snails and slugs this will be crunchy fun I'm fancying a very pale blue background, cheers Dan hmmm I've got some bits of seashells too might add to the mix :) your such an inspiration!

[@DanTirels]

This is a really satisfying process and definitely one to experiment with, applying over a coloured background works well and will try to film a demo of this on a larger scale. Thanks for the positive feedback.

[@DJarry394]

You can use any surface that is non porous, but this is clever. Now I am going to use this technique.

[@deepadaniel9280]

I loved your broken pieces of eggshells technique💖 and tried it too, at the same time I got my own idea of creating an art by dropping candle wax on the paper in a random design then doing the monoprinting with few colours of choice and in the end scrapping away the dropped wax... Plz try this and let me know how u find this💁

[@DanTirels]

Sounds great! I like that idea and will experiment with this, wax has lots of possibilities and I have used it before.

[@deepadaniel9280]

Thank you for your response, Plz let me be informed when u try the wax idea, so that I won't miss the video 🙋😊

[@MJWINNER_Sketchbook999]

Eggshells are amazing nutrients for the soil and plants.

[@vivianajury2409]

GENIO!!!!👏👏👏

[@natural09100]

Lovely result

[@dalyte62]

Very interesting work. I want to try, but only have acrylics. Would that work?

[@DanTirels]

Yes it can work with acrylics but it sometimes helps if you use a retarder to slow the slow down the drying time.

[@Rita-jz3ri]

Verwendest Du Druckerfarbe, oder Ölfarbe ? Jetzt weiss ich, welche Folie man verwenden kann. Vielen Dank ! Bitte noch viele solcher Videos 👍

[@cutiness1322]

I like it. So simple and nice result. I would try to add a bit of yellow to spome regions to give it more depth.

[@sandycares2995]

Beautiful !!

[@paulhaley293]

Fabulous work of art to view while it is developing. Inspiration for us in this isolation time mode. Could this be done on a canvas with similar effects?

[@DanTirels]

Yes this works on canvas but you need to apply a few coats of gesso to create a smooth surface first.

[@luisalbertocarrilloruiz7847]

Beautiful work! I suppose you can also use other colors besides black ... for example, add something terracotta or cobalt blue... Congrats!

[@DanTirels]

Yes that would work, I always see these demos as a starting point and hope they encourage experimentation.

[@PottwerkRuhr]

Thanks for your inspiring work! I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and am very excited. The most I like is that you let us just have a look over your shoulder, it feels a bit like one is in your studio. I am looking forward to see more of your work! Greetings from Germany.

[@DanTirels]

Thanks for your feedback and positive comments. I try to film the demos as naturally as possible, it takes practice to forget about the camera but I glad you enjoy the results.

[@judithmalan1502]

Really beautiful creativity! Such a spontaneous effect.

Beautiful Dan! Thank you!

[@edzejandehaan9265]

Quite intruiging. Really like making my own art supplies, made bamboo pens, styluses for silverpoint, made willow charcoal, ink from shaggy mane mushrooms. So that aspect appeals to me. But it is very different from the mediums I use. Still, worth the experiment.....

[@patfrese4983]

tried your method with vitreous enamel worked quite well

[@helenaneves3290]

Nice. I like it

[@DanTirels]

Glad you like it

[@lindyhoney14]

Awesome, Your work is inspiring.

[@OS3spys]

Thank you, Dan😊 Watching your demos I see accurate balance in picture, despite randomness of abstraction. Composition harmony? Good idea with eggshells🙂 I tried version with wavelike textures of paper coffeecup - acrylic on oil/dvp- have ocean bottom effect as result in final textures. I used that to draw wings. The same thing with just oil paint didn't work😑 But it is still wet, after 1 one week. I added sicative by the next try to quick drying process but paint became too poor and liquid, so picture ended deem blot. Next one gonna try with paper and eggs surely.

[@DanTirels]

I would try and experiment with using as little paint as possible, you can always add more but its impossible to remove. The work in this demo will be dry in 2 - 3 days.

[@YooperGranny]

Oh this is so exciting! What type of oil paint are you using?

[@DanTirels]

I use Winsor and Newton or Daler Rowney. Fast drying oils are also good to work with.

[@loriebowlinfriedmann8237]

Can you use acrylic paints instead of oil?

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Really enjoying your videos, got me collecting plastic bags from the canalside :)

[@dianekohl9179]

Thanks for sharing. I don't have oil paint and wonder if it will work so well with another medium. Once your paint is finally dry, do you need to seal it???

[@JenRussoMaui]

dan do you have a vid on how you make your little frame set up that your paper canvas sits in?

[@DanTirels]

I will film a quick demo for this as I'm often asked and it's really simple but very handy to know.

[@FraenzEff]

Dan Tirels Thanks Dan for the great idea with eggshells, and I'm looking forward to how making the frame, because I already wasted a lot of cardbord to finally get one for using it several times ...🤔

[@tobyl2816]

When you use oil paints, are they water-based oil paints as in Windsor Newton? When you use a Q tip cotton swab thing with the oils, does it have water on it? Or, linseed oil? Or dry?

[@DanTirels]

I have not used water based oil paint and never use any water on the Q tip, the techniques work better with a small amount of paint.

This is a water based block printing ink or you can simply use oil paint.

[@rebeccasharp7924]

Love this. Only question: how do you keep your work area so clean? I did the charcoal, acrylic paint and made a hell of a mess... but I had a great time and it turned out pretty cool. I'm sure that now I'll have eggshells everywhere :)

[@DanTirels]

That's an illusion, I often work surrounded by clutter but I've made an effort to clear a space for filming and remove everything from view of the camera, it makes it less distracting.

[@susanparasolproduction5698]

While I appreciate minimal to no conversation during a tutorial I found this example could have used more verbal teaching direction. For instance I have no idea what product was used to coat the plastic bag initially- shoe polish? Was silk screen paper used? Hot pressed watercolor? Any kind of paper? The composition created was lovely however I could have used more info regarding the kinds of products used i.e.: paper used, paint/shoe polish best suited etc. Some instructors flash the product name on the screen with clear camera shot of brand and name of product. Or have a conversation with the viewers but don't talk so much. Again your piece was great and clearly you are quite talented. Thanks for making this video.

[@DanTirels]

I know the lack of a voice does turn some off but I have had so many positive comments and reaction regarding the silence. I will try to be more informative in the videos and will consider filming a product intro at the beginning of each demo. I try to list all products used in the description. I want the videos to be a real representation of the way I work, almost forgetting that the camera is turned on. As always improvements can be made. Thanks for your feedback.
