Adding a colour wash to a monoprint filmed live.

Using an oil bar and a wash of acrylic paint, this is a very effective and simple technique to explore. Use different types of plastic for transferring the paint onto the paper.
I use a 200gsm paper with a slight texture to the surface, suitable for oils of acrylic.
Remove the cardboard frame mask before applying the wash of colour or the paint will leak underneath the edges.

Love this one!

Glad you like it!

I love the unplanned/surprise marks that can be achieved with a printing technique like this. You just cant achieve the same quality/type of marks by applying the media directly to the substrate, love it!

[@DanTirels]

Thanks so much glad you enjoyed it.

Like a rorschach - one can see whatever they want in it. So inspiring

[@DanTirels]

Exactly, it's a great way to exercise your imagination.

I guess you are a visual person. You know here to Draw the lines and make all those marks to the painting make sense. That's remarcable. I like that frame. I'll make one for me. Thanks

[@DanTirels]

Thank you, it's just practice and finding your own style, this is a good way to develop your imagination and produce interesting work.

Simply great ! I just didn’t know that acrylic paint can be used over oilbar marks. Thanks for the lesson ! 🙏

[@DanTirels]

It's a good technique and you can get some great results, use plenty of water.

[@FraenzEff]

Thank you very much ! It seems that I don’t stop learning ! 🤗

Dan. Been watching your videos for a while now - you have taught me a lot. Wanted to let you know of a method I discovered by accident recently - that you may want to utilize in a video. On paper - do a design in oil pastel ( usually bright colors work best, yellow and orange) and then cover either partially or completely with black oil paint, and then use a metal edge like a razor blade or whatever is flat and metal…to scrape the black oil paint, leaving a nice bright yet textural surface that is left by the oil pastel. Apologies if you already did a video like this. Cheers and thanks. J.

[@MultiCugel]

Interesting thanks.

[@DanTirels]

Thanks for the suggestion, might give that a try.

Of course it was filmed live. What else would it be?
