Monoprinting with stencils with oil paint and oil stick.
FREE monoprint now included with each order of the monoprinting booklet (limited supply)
www.dantirels....
Thank you to everyone who has bought a copy of my new mono-printing booklet, it really is appreciated and is incredible support for this channel. I hope to continue to bring you many more interesting and varied demo videos and the booklet will ensure that this is possible.
All booklets now include 2 FREE 5" x 7" art prints and a 100% biodegradable bag that you can use for the mono-printing techniques. (as seen in this demo)
This new demo is featured in the booklet and looks at the process of working with hand-cut stencils. Unlike the example shown in the booklet, I am working with acrylic paint rather than oil paint. I create a base using 3 colours of acrylic and then use an oil stick to complete the final layer.
My monoprinting booklet is now available from my website.

This image is wonderful. The colours are vibrant and the whole piece has a fresh, cheerful look to it. To me, it has an open air, summer day feel.

[@DanTirels]

I suppose we all need a little colour in these very dark times. Thanks for the feedback.

[@gordonjackson2655]

@@DanTirels Yes indeed. My wife and I have just had to cancel the holiday we have been looking forward to, for two years. Still, there are lots of other things to do.

ear Dan, A booklet beautiful enough to be a guide I congratulate.. Best regards Fikret

[@DanTirels]

I am very pleased with the new booklets and hope they provide additional information and provide some inspiration. Thanks.

[@ZebKhalidGallery]

honestly I love it.WOW!

[@RingoWild]

The acrylic paint behaves so differently from the oil paint. I've never used oil paints but from watching your other videos I can see the benefits of using oils. You have so much more time to work. And although I definitely like the visual texture I get from partially-dried acrylic paint, it has become almost predictable. I use slow-drying medium sometimes, but I usually forget. Thanks for sharing your talents! I'll be buying a couple of oils to try it out. Thanks again!

[@DanTirels]

I never used to work with oil paint because I always found them too slow and a bit messy, but this monoprinting technique is a great introduction to oil paint and it is a good idea to start with a few colours first.

[@artevolutionstudioibentrav8207]

this is so beautiful. I really want to try it. Love this work. very inspiring and the music is suiting too.

[@DanTirels]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@natural09100]

The book is brilliant Dan. I have a bookbinding project in mind for the lovely set of copy prints and the lovely print copy. They will cover sketchbooks for myself. I am using your book to make some abstracts of my own . Fun times. Thank you so much.

[@leefranciscopp_art]

Excellent! Love the way you even used the remains of the original stencil too - great idea!

[@appassionata971]

Hi Dan, and thank you for this new video. As I wrote some days ago, I am practicing this interesting print technique, with great satisfaction. Here in Italy at present we are secluded in our homes owing to CORONA VIRUS, so I have plenty of time to experience... As I wrote last time, I still believe that oil colors are really warmer and richer than acrylics, BUT... after some tests, I have discovered serious handicaps: drying time is ETERNAL !!! ... and the paper gets stained by oil !! So I have gone back to acrylics. I am testing also METALLIC acrylics in small quantity. I intend to test also some gold/silver patina. Thank you for the inspiration !!!

[@DanTirels]

Sorry to hear about the issues regarding the use of oil paint. All I can advise is the way the paint is applied should result in much shorter drying times. I use very little paint applied in thin layers. Always use a heavyweight paper and if needed apply a primer. Hope this helps. The situation regarding the Corona Virus is very worrying and I really do hope that things will start to improve. Good luck with your creative experiments.

[@corneliakullack5024]

Love it so much!!! Thanks for your great ideas.

[@sabihamerabetphotographest3390]

Magnifique le choix de couleurs est très judicieux merci Dan

[@sheilatrunzo4423]

This is one of my favorite pieces, Dan. Especially, I liked how you showed us your contemplative times, turning the piece, considering. In the end, I said to myself, 'That's it,' and the next moment you laid down your tools. I have done some self-taught print work using gel plates, or even repeated printing from a wet palette at the end of a session. It is such a rewarding method. Thank you for the work you put into all aspects of your videos. The music fits the art.

[@DanTirels]

Thank you for your positive comments. I always try to make the videos easy to follow and encourage anyone to give them a try. Feedback is always welcome.

Have you tried using Golden Open acrylics to have more open time? LOVE THIS so much.

[@DanTirels]

Not yet, but I think that would make an interesting demo. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@gordonjackson2655]

My copy of your booklet arrived yesterday, (Tuesday) it's lovely. There are a lot of good quality illustrations for such a modest book. You obviously spent a lot of time considering the layout and content. This publication will bring imspiration as well as great techniques to a large number of people. I'm very pleased with it, thank you. I was delighted to discover that one of the two prints of your work which are included, happened to be my favourite, "Artifical Person". I shall frame it and put it in my studio. I like the second print, "Estuary" too, that will also go on my studio wall. Thank you again, it brightened my day.

[@DanTirels]

Thanks it's great to know you have received your copy, I've been worried about postal services due to the current crisis. I really appreciate your positive review of the booklet, I was pleased with how it turned out. I have the original of Artificial Person hanging on my wall, it's also a favourite of mine !

[@gordonjackson2655]

I'm beginning to think that listening to the wide range of smoke screen recommendations from our government, is like the news, not worth listening, to until it happens. It changes daily. I'm almost 72. One day I can do something, next day I can't. I'm sorry, I apologise, this is not the place for polemic, however justified. Artificial Person is indeed a masterpiece. Your work deserves a major exhibition, but not for a while of course! I look at your channel daily, just to see what's happening. It takes me out of myself, thank you Dan.

Amazing

[@otteroid2]

Another good one, Dan. I really liked the circles - they are a good contrast to the linear aspect of the piece overall.

[@admbrnk3665]

This is really cool. It’s a shame that my state and several others in the US have banned plastic shopping bags, which completely kills the opportunity to recycle your grocery bags! This is a really cool way to recycle them, but I would have to buy a plastic bag to use just for this purpose and then throw away, which I think goes completely against what these bans are trying to achieve!

[@DanTirels]

Look online for biodegradable shopping bags, these can be used for this process. I always try to use any waste plastic and it's good to experiment.

[@GLEOPARDI1]

Maravilha! Tank you

[@jelketa]

Hello Dan, your creativity has not boundaries, I love to watch you, this piece is amazing, lovely colors. I would like to know where can I get your book?

[@DanTirels]

Thank you for your kind comments. The booklet is available now from my website shop. dantirels.co.uk

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

Dan, when is your booklet back in stock ? Also, on this particular piece.............do you let each colour/layer dry before moving on ?

[@DanTirels]

The online shop is closed at the moment unfortunately due to the current pandemic COVID-19 crisis and the shipping of any products will be difficult. I want to be certain of orders being delivered, so until things improve the booklet will only be available as an e-book. The booklet will be reprinted soon hope. This work is done in stages and each layer is allowed to dry, acrylic doesnt take too long.

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

Dan Tirels Thanks Dan

[@suzalasuzala1135]

Dan, live these videos! Could you please tell me what kind of paper are you using. It doesn't look as heavy as Rives or anything that dear. Would you mind sharing? Can't wait to see what you will do next!

[@DanTirels]

I always try to use a heavyweight smooth card of 220gsm or Cartridge paper works as well. I will film new videos on various surfaces to compare differences.

[@sharonhammer3901]

Whoa! I just got to the part in the video where the plastic bag is labelled '100% biodegradable'. Do we have these in the U.S.?

[@DanTirels]

I hope so! If not then you really should by now. The UK has a poor record for recycling so when I can I always like to promote the use of recycled materials.

[@sharonhammer3901]

@@DanTirels Hi Dan, I was hoping for a response from fellow Americans. I've never seen biodegradable bags in the places I've lived. And in our present state of chaos and calamity, I don't expect to see them. Who cares about the most beautiful planet in the solar system? Stay safe my friend.

[@rosemontez1478]

I love your art Dan Tirels. What kind of plastic paper do you use to put paint on? Thank you.

[@DanTirels]

This is a recycled plastic bag, you could try bin liners.

[@rosemontez1478]

Dan Tirels Ok thank you for that Dan. I enjoy watching.

[@robertspies4695]

Excellent print. Fresh and lots of abstract energy, but that last thick vertical black line on the left figure nearly killed the image (to my eye).

[@DanTirels]

I know what you mean, the results can be a bit hit and miss, which is one of the reasons I enjoy the technique so much. I always post the video whatever the result so some work out better than others.

[@robertspies4695]

@@DanTirels I know what you mean. I am a scuptor and print maker and have gotten into making quick impulsive monoprints with the left over oil-based ink from my print making. I throw out a lot of monoprints because it is hard to know when to quit when you are working quickly and intuitively and many of them just do not have much punch. But then the ones I keep include some jewels. Thanks for your work. I enjoy seeing what you do.

Hi, will the oil on the plastic dry out? or it can be still use for transfer paint after dried out? thanks

Yes you can use the plastic sheets many times. Simply wipe with a rag when finished an it will be ready to use again. store them flat between grease proof paper.
