This world is such a wonderful place to live in and a joy to watch your videos. many other people will choose this instead of drugs, alcohol, and other crimes and it's life changing. You are a teacher and a Healer. When you save 1 life it is as if you have saved the whole Human Race. Thankyou. Subscribed!.

Thanks very much for such a positive reaction to this demo, it is always good to know that they have provided inspiration for other artists and encouraged others to try the techniques.

[@allthumbs3792]

I so enjoy your creative and instructive videos! The results are so pleasing. As another commenter said, thank you for omitting trendy or electronic music. I much prefer the organic sounds of paper tearing, etching with the stick and even the tape pull! These sounds evoke the same calm as the artwork you create.

[@DanTirels]

Thanks for your positive comments, its always good to get some feedback on the videos. I do think about the sound more and have experimented with music. The less distracting I think the more information is absorbed.

Such a dynamic and beautiful little world you've created! The way you draw/paint/make marks feels very much like another language. A language without words.

I am new to you channel and I just love your work. I have started to use several of you ideas and am eagerly awaiting my oil stick in the mail. Years ago I had my six year old students tape off a rectangle on their desks, paint using tempura paint inside their rectangle and make a mono print. Wish I had taken pictures. They had a lot of fun.

[@DanTirels]

It is often some kind of block, something that stops people doing things that they actually want to do. Not saying this applies to you, but it does for quite a few.

Muito boa técnica. Parabéns! Se observar nesse seu desenho na vertical aparece um rosto. Ficou interessante.

[@pelagicbeing]

Do the oil sticks ever set / dry on the print? Great video, thank you!

[@DanTirels]

Yes they do, unlike oil pastels the oil sticks will dry out. I think its because they have wax in them, oil pastel remains soft.

[@charlesblithfield6182]

What's the smudging device? Cool technique.

[@koboneshteam965]

So nice

[@michaelchitwood389]

Knew the technique, but damn nice composition!

[@judithclendenning4146]

I am curious as to the types of paper you use to monoprint onto.

[@DanTirels]

I use a heavyweight smooth card or cartridge paper (200gsm) You can use thinner paper but spray with a white acrylic paint to form a base.

[@judithclendenning4146]

Dan Tirels thank you.

[@altiemetcalf2610]

Hi Dan! Are you using a “blending oil stick” - not sure of the correct term - to smudge the black? Love your videos!

[@DanTirels]

I use nothing but the oil stick, I blend the paint with a soft sponge or rag, the paint takes 2 - 6 days to fully dry out, Thanks for your feedback.

[@suzalasuzala1135]

do you prefer the Senneliers over the R&F?

[@DanTirels]

I have not tried R&F, but do find the Senneliers a little sticky.

[@ЖанетеМ]

Очень нравится! Спасибо!

[@DanTirels]

большое спасибо

[@foreveryoung4980]

interesting as always, tnx

[@dcfan333]

I love this... and have been experimenting because of you! Question, would general oil pastels work also? I know they truly never really dry, but I think a spray exists to 'set' the finished work. Any thoughts would be appreciated :)

[@DanTirels]

I'm not sure about that, I will need to give them a try, I think the oil bars or sticks work because they are quite soft and the paint transfers well. The only reason I don't use the oil pastels is I find them a bit greasy and like you say they never dry out.

[@sallyallerton9279]

Would oil pastels work as well do you think?

[@DanTirels]

I'm not sure about that, I will have to give them a try.

[@suzalasuzala1135]

@@DanTirels I tried them and they did not transfer very well...
