I am very grateful for the courage you have given me to explore new ways of using paint. And I thank you for being extremely generous in your online demos.
I spent a fortune on akua ink only to find out I can use my stash of acrylics and oils and get better monoprints. Thanks for your great generosity, Dan! I am liberated!!!
I have really enjoyed this video. I love the calmness in which you executed this beautiful piece of work. All the layers, textures and colours are just wonderful, Dan and again thank you for generously sharing your talent and time with us. 😀😍🤩
Beautifull Dan. Sometimes i was thinking...no dont place so much from black ore light blue,but its fantastick ! I follow you since 1 yeare and like youre work so much ! Even great to see you place now the name of the collours in the screen so thats more clear now. Go on,go on...😄
I've been watching your channel for a number of weeks (months?), now. I love your prints! Also, your awesome improvements in use of macro shots. I'm not the biggest fan of the extended, real-time nature of the presentation and editing, but I realize a lot of people like that, so I deal. No biggie. I hope this doesn't seem too intrusive or presumptuous, but one thing I'd really like to see you experiment with, sometime, is not (always) blending your media to the point of even, homogeneous color on your printing "matrix"--if your bag plastic technically counts as that. (?) The example that triggered that idea in me, in this video, is the passage around 13:54-13:59-ish, when you're mixing the dark green color. With all of your appreciation and creative use of the sumptuous, random, organic textures you achieve with your technique, it just seems to me that the more-variegated texture and color contrast you already achieve (but consistently push past), in your actual mixing and application of paint to your plastic transfer surface, could harmonize really well with the rest of your style. Just another aspect of the "when to stop" issue we all face, making our art, but one I thought you might not be noticing, while you are in the flow of mixing color.
I know exactly what you mean and I will try to film this as a demo in the future, it is a good way to introduce colour mixing to those who are not confident with this process. Thanks for the suggestion. You mention the real time filming of the videos, my reasons for filming like this are mostly to try and represent as accurately as I can my own personnel creative process and in some way try to forget about the camera. It doesn't always work. I'm not a fan of additional commentary, music or time lapse but think it's good to try things out. I have recently decided to film with a DSLR camera so I can now film the close up sequences. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback.
I find it enjoyable watching your creative process. Is it possible that gouache could be used as well and achieve similar effects? Or is it best to use acrylics? I am aware that gouache is more opaque, and can come across as appearing "flat". What would be a good remedy to change that outcome? And before moving on to another color, would it be best to let colors dry between layers to limit or minimize them from appearing "muddy"? And lastly, I think 🤔, could a gel medium be used to extend drying time in order to manipulate (push, pull) or the fading out of color/ texture? I'm guessing it would be best to use thin layers of color to prevent or limit cracking of the paint. I'm just seeking your advice. I haven't tried anything I've asked of you. My career choice keeps me away from home for long periods of time. And I can only bring with me limited amounts of supplies. Thanks your time. And for sharing.
I think it is worth experimenting with different paints. I'm not sure about trying this technique with gouache but I may give this a try, it isn't a paint that I have worked with for this process but it could be interesting. I enjoy working with this fast drying oil paint because you can allow it to dry between layers. I do plan to film more experimental videos that show various effects. A gel retarder is a good idea when working with acrylic paint.
@@DanTirels Thank you Dan for your insight. I look forward to seeing what you create through your experimentations. Many blessings and happy painting😊.
Dan, if you used acrylic paint with a liquid retarder added to each color, then you would have more time to smear the paint with the paper towel. I have never used oil paints, so I don't know if a liquid retarder would work with oils but it might be worth it to try with acrylics so you could work in even more textures. Also, I have the Catalyst brand paint scraping tools. I use them when the acrylic is wet and carve patterns in the colors.
Sometimes it's good to try and work quickly as it prevents the painting from being overworked, I find these fast drying oil paints very similar to ink that I have sometimes used. I have yet to try the acrylic retarder but will have a try. Thanks for the tip.
Always I wonder what your thoughts are as you work. The abstract becomes somehow a vision, as if by plan. I am in Turkey and cannot get a lot of oil paints but can get acrylics...any suggestions,? Please?
I will sometimes begin with a plan and I will usually have the colours to work with but I love the freedom to work by instinct and allow the composition to progress, it is a very enjoyable process.
@@DanTirels It's all good. When I am finished painting its a mess even if you are careful. Lovely work. Any reason for the change to oil based paint rather than inks?
Thank you Dan! You have been giving us a great “variety” of lessons. I have learned so much from you! Thank you. Have you used the Windsor Newton Artisan (water soluble) OIL paints? I use them and I’d love to see what you do with them.

Yes, Dan's technique has awaken my creativity.
Stunning!!! So glad to have found your channel Dan.

You are so welcome!
I really love these nice long videos that show everything. It's a beautiful work. And I find it very inspiring. Thanks for not adding music.
Glad you like them! . I will work on more of these in the new studio.
An Amazing Artist!
Innovative!
Talented!
And Clever!!

I love it! Really interesting watching you add the different colours.
Glad you like it!
после того, как появилась черная вертикальная полоса, я подумала, что все испорчено.....но результат оказался фантастическим. вы большой мастер.
Большое спасибо за ваши положительные комментарии. Я рад, что вам понравилось видео.
That turned out gorgeous!
Black is always such a game-changer.
Fascinating to watch- always wonder when you know you are done!
Love it! I was worried you had overdone it after the black, but it’s beautiful
Just when I want to yell DON’T DO IT, DAN he makes it even greater.
Beautiful watercolor art! I like this!

Toujours inspirant et émouvant de vous voir peindre. Merci Dan
Interesting process - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the excellent lesson!
Glad you liked it!
Awesome... Could this technique be used with acrylic paints?
That's awesome
Gorgeous

i wonder if you decided on a direction Up. i like the way you let the viewer in, to consider that.
beautiful! watching this again, a couple times, so the process will settle in.

Magnifique 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
amazing again!
Thanks again!
👍Thank you Dan!
I love it!!
Beautifull!!!!
Lovely!
I am amazed that you don't get any on your hands.
I do clean my hands during filming the demos, I probably should mention that.
@@DanTirels It's all good. When I am finished painting its a mess even if you are careful. Lovely work. Any reason for the change to oil based paint rather than inks?
Gostei principalmente das cores utilizadas. As formas estavam um pouco difusas, mas daria para vários objectos ou silhuetas.
Love it
Thank you Dan! You have been giving us a great “variety” of lessons.
I have learned so much from you! Thank you. Have you used the Windsor Newton Artisan (water soluble) OIL paints?
I use them and I’d love to see what you do with them.
Thank you, I will be experimenting with a few new mediums over the next few months so I will have a look at those. I appreciate the suggestion.
To je super 😊👍👍👏
"Victim of violence"....was my feeling.
Wath Kind of paper you used ? Thank you Dan
For this I have used a heavy weight smooth card (200gsm)
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Lindíssimo
interesting technology. would have wished that there was a little more yellow left.

I suggest ‘Give a dog a bone’ as a name for this.
What brand has fast drying oil paints?
These are Winsor & Newton
I liked it before you added light blue.
