Inspired by ...... John Piper Collage with pen and ink

[@lindadudgeon1564]

Simple. Powerful. Beautiful.

[@DanTirels]

Thank you!

[@ElleCoyote]

It is very enjoyable watching you cut (or tear) your collage pieces to match the sketch, pulling the edge up to check it against the drawing.

[@DanTirels]

Thank you, I have many comments from viewers who enjoy the silence and hope this shows the creative process in a natural way.

[@markjones1542]

I love these pieces, so exciting. Everything you touch turns into gold.

Once again The Magician makes his magic so we mere-mortals bow in awe and wonders. Many thanks for sharing your art. Gracias Dan 😎

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Dan Tirels IS a great artist but maybe you're laying it on a bit thick here? Seriously, I half expect you to ask for his autograph and maybe a lock of his hair. A magician? Hardly. An interesting and cool dude? Absolutely.

[@DanTirels]

Many thanks!

[@marypavlik7912]

​@@DrummerGrrrl😊p ok

[@gordonjackson2655]

These are wonderful Dan. John Piper has been a favourite of Anne and myself for many years. I've just skipped through one of our books on him. If these were in a book of Piper's work, I think they could be taken for his. I've not done any collage for 30 years. I'm making a series of collographs at the moment. It's looking as if I'll have to try some collage work next. Finding my dipping pens will be a challenge!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

The great thing about dipping pens is that, at least here in the United States they're very inexpensive. The video Dan made with the Andy Warhol technique had me searching through MY art supplies too! LOL. I'm going to go to the local art store near my home and buy several bottles of ink and...a FEW pens! I lose things...😂😀

[@gordonjackson2655]

@@DrummerGrrrl It isn't just me then, good! Actually, I don't tend to loose things as a rule. We simply have so much kit in the house; about 100 musical instuments , including 6 sysnths, 3 drum machines, mics and the outboard processing gear that comes with it, plus a harmonium. Then, 6 cameras and all the gear related to them. Also a small art studio and a 16 channel digital, computer controlled, recording studio. That's without my wife's amazing amount of sewing, textile art materials, painting, crafting etc. Aladin's cave does not come near it! 48 years of marriage gives one plenty of time to collect things. I did mention my collections of minerals, gems, scientific equipment and roughly 2000 books, didn't I? If one of us moves something to a new place because, "It's bettert that way", it becomes lost for many months. Tidyness is not always a good idea.Hehehe.

[@DanTirels]

Thanks very much, it's so good to be able to introduce the work of John Piper, he's always been a favorite and a little underrated. When I was at art school my tutor told me that my work was of a similar style (I'd never heard of him) I soon began to study his work and have always appreciated his work. I know what you mean about losing things especially dipping pens and nibs, I lost my pen halfway through this demo. Hope you get good results if you find your pen.

[@FR-wc2dn]

@@gordonjackson2655 I'd love to visit your house, I bet it would be a treasure trove of all creative things!

[@karenbradley8077]

Love them

[@dhandley8893]

This looks fun. Great interpretation.

[@artshaman]

Wow! And now for something completely different, he says.....and proceeds to create two wonderful pieces of art! Loved both of them and the nod to covid was genius with the laid up boat. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Another very satisfying and inspiring video. Thank you!

[@DanTirels]

Thank you so much!

[@maggiefreeman6513]

Absolutely awesome. Thank you.

[@Jennwiggs]

Thanks Dan, great images,and I shared it.

[@DanTirels]

Thanks for sharing!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

I'm looking forward to trying this technique, Dan. Thanks for sharing it.

[@DanTirels]

Very welcome

[@dianadee23]

Ooh. I love this technique, Dan. Always interesting to watch your process too.

[@YooperGranny]

Beautiful! Your work is amazing.

[@DanTirels]

Thank you so much!

[@VickiStoner]

These works are amazing!

[@DanTirels]

Glad you like them!

[@stephill3516]

Wow! Very interesting compositions. It‘s always enthralling to watch you work. There is so much to discover in these collages. I very much like your channel. Thank you for sharing your work!

[@DanTirels]

Thanks for watching, good to know you enjoyed the demo.

[@LisaSonora]

Is there any better sound than paper being cut or torn? What a fantastic tutorial, and I so appreciate how you shared John Piper's work at the beginning.

[@DanTirels]

You are very welcome, I try and make the videos as close as possible to my working methods, I myself like to watch videos that focus on the sounds of creativity. Thanks for watching.

[@johnjack5417]

another style, i love it really ;)

[@DanTirels]

Glad you like it!

[@anitasmith404]

Wow. I love this 👏

[@charalson3023]

Catching up on missed episodes….you’ve now made me a fan of collage and John Piper! I’m moving houses and just purged decades of old magazines…I mean collage material😩

[@DanTirels]

John Piper is such an excellent artist and if you get the chance to view in person his work is worth seeing in a gallery, they don't always come across in print.

[@ViktorPeschel]

Great work

[@DanTirels]

Thanks

[@Vitumeo]

Magnifico

[@melodied4314]

Do you put something over the collages to keep the pieces from falling off (over time)...or is the glue sufficient? I enjoyed the video and love both pieces!!! Wish I had taken art -- rather than French and archery -- in school!!!

[@DanTirels]

The glue I use is very strong so there is no need to seal the work once finished. Any good PVA glue would work but the glue stick I use keeps the paper flat and dries very quick, it's also more convenient to use. Glad you enjoyed the demo, I think a lot of people give up on art, but it is such a rewarding activity, although archery lessons at school would have been welcome.

[@dhandley8893]

I have a technical question. How do you seal these works. Is glass adequate enough or did you preserve them in some other way? What type of adhesive are you using? Thanks again for your gift.

[@DanTirels]

There is no need to spray with a fixative, use a good strong glue. I used a solid glue stick here, it's made from biodegradable cornstarch and is fast setting and strong (brand name : Pritt stick. If you are framing any work on paper it is always necessary to frame behind glass, a bevel card mount helps to lift the glass from the surface of the artwork. Hope this helps.

[@T-on-the-Tube]

Dan Tirels and John Piper together at last … what’s not to love?

[@DanTirels]

Iv'e always been an admirer of his work and it is a pleasure to be able to share it.

[@SergioRodriguez-ng6ek]

🤯🤯eres un puto artistar señor Dan,no lo dejes nunca 💪🏼

[@DrummerGrrrl]

I wish your pencil marks were a bit darker. I can never actually tell what you're sketching! Why do you do that? I'm not being a jerk. I really want to know. Thanks for another great video.

[@DanTirels]

Sorry about that, I normally draw the lines even lighter but I was trying to darken them for the camera. I think what I will have to do in future is work on 2 drawings, one for filming with darker visible lines and another with sketched lighter pencil marks. I use the pencil this way because I don't want the marks visible on the finished work, I could use a rubber but this would damage the collage.
