As someone else already commented -- this is a launch pad of infinite possibilities!! Utterly and completely amazing technique that is so very open-ended. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world.
Thanks so much for all your positive comments and feedback. I'm back on UA-cam after a longer break than expected, I will look through all comments and try to respond. Just posted a brand new demo video, hope you get to see it.
The possibilities are.......endless. This isn’t a lesson, it’s a launch pad! Thanks.
John Martlew Thanks for the comment and feedback on this video, hope you get some good results if you give this a try. Thanks for watching, much appreciated.
I agree
Very best technique for a class with almost no budget, no press, and first-time adults. Thank you!
Francine Perlman Thanks so much, it means a lot to get positive comments like this, I hope you and the class found the technique useful.
You don't need me or anyone to laud your artistry - but, I will tell you what a joy it s for you to share elements of your creative DNA - I (and we) absolutely love to watch, learn, be inspired and encouraged - we encourage you to keep the cycle going! Thank you so much!
Thanks for your support and comments, good to know that you enjoy the videos.
Thanks for the fact that one can create art with minimal resources! Great printing technique.
Glad you like it! This is such a simple and effective process. Hope it works for you.
Thanks for all the great comments about this demo, it's been shown to art classes and students, which is a huge compliment. I just wanted to inspire creativity in others so it seems like it worked.
Dan Tirels only thank you
it worked! This is really lovely, and so accessible.
Absolutely amazing. Just thinking about monoprinting...first video I watch is your's. Thank you so much, my imagination just flew up to the sky..Thank you so much for the great instruction and fantastic inspiration! k
Thanks, this is a great technique to explore and the results will improve over time.
Merry Christmas to you, too.
Same to you!
so much potential! This is really nice! And i value the simplicity of it. thank you
I admire how resourcefully you manipulate the materials to achieve interesting effects and how the results reflect their inherent properties -along with your own strategies and mark making !! well done thanks for sharing.
you're such an inspiration , i love your style and i bless you with infinite peace and love , really love it , you're such a kind soul
Thank you very much for your kind and positive comments.
Love this. And am finding the pdf instruction sets a useful reference too.
Glad you like it!
Excellent work and as I've said before, SUPER INSPIRING.
Thank you very much for shearing
I absolutely love your way of doing it. Meticulous and so nice!
Thank you so much Dan Tirels for this amazing technique! Your monoprint is stunning and the technique opens to endless possibilities. I'm going to try this with leaves and petals, with my Chinese watercolors as ink!
Thanks for watching. This is a great technique to experiment with and it can get interesting results, I hope you enjoy the process and good luck with your work. Thanks for the positive comments.
Simple method, awesome result. Bravo...
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant !
Thank you for sharing this wonderful technique. I like the use of simple and inexpensive material to achieve theses stunning results.
Heidi Putschoegl Glad you found it of interest, hope you give it a try. I think it shows that it's not necessary to buy expensive equipment or materials.
Thanks again, Dan Tirels. Believe it or not I already tried it. I'm not yet overwhelmed by my result because my black isn't really black but I really like this technique .... I have to practice!
Tío ,es una manera muy curiosa de hacer arte abstracto .
Enhorabuena
Gracias
So many possibilities. Thanks.
This is brilliant. I can’t wait try this!
Thanks for this great demo. It's inspired me to give it a go and to buy an oil stick! I love the stunning effects you create so simply.
Fabulous demo as always! Thanks a lot.
Hermina Miklos Thanks for the comment.
Please some more tutoring on this subject pls... we just could not solve the ink problem nor the oil and would like to learn very much. Love from Turkey and thanks a lot for you for sharing such knowledge with us.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🌹
Inci Lakay Thanks very much for your kind comments and positive response to this demo. I hope you found it helpful. I will try to make an updated version of this as it is over a year since this was made. Try using ordinary oil paint if you can't get the oilbars.
Love this technique, thanks for sharing!
After watching your videos, I did my first abstract ever, yesterday. I must say I am very impressed. Thank you. I'm subbed.
Thank you, glad to have inspired you.
@@DanTirels you have and in the process, I have inspired my daughter to continue with her photography. I did my second today. I love it. I keep finding pictures within pictures.
Well Dan, according to my comment (way below) I first saw this video a YEAR ago and it's taken me this long (kept forgetting!) to finally get to trying your method out = sort of! I used really cheap oil paints I've had lying around (had to bin the white because it never dried) but tracing paper instead of plastic (and not stuck down just placed gently each time and using different colours = 2 minimum) - I think tracing paper isn't as good in some ways because it's thicker so can't get fine lines. I did them in cut-out cereal pack card mask - but not a rectangle, don't know what the shape is called = a polygon (?) with 4 sides but not parallel. Anyway I want to thank you lots because I didn't stress about how it'd turn out so it was fun - plus the results are really nice (mostly) and I'd like to maybe do more but bigger. Thank you again!
Jenny Hughes Sounds like you have made good use of this demo. Always important to remember not to worry too much about the final outcome, it makes the process more enjoyable and you will always improve. Thanks for watching.
@@DanTirels thanks to you I had a really fun and productive day today, didn't worry about end result but saw what worked & what didn't (for me), worked until 6pm but didn't want to stop ('just one more...') but had to because was exhausted and hurting. I started with small ones (about A6 size) then finished two A3 and the 3rd A3 has black on and is ready for colours. I don't know how long these oil paints will take to dry on Bristol and Canson Imagine, have to wait and see. I so enjoyed doing them, have learned loads and it's all thanks to you for sharing what you do, inspiring me and giving me confidence to think 'yes, I could maybe do that', making these videos and putting them up here - for those of us who spend a lot of time at home this is wonderful (very good sides of internet) - huge enormous thanks. Got a mega mess to tidy tomorrow though! Been searching for your folding wreck, can't find it on youtube or your website: have you taken it down from everywhere?! I really want to see it again please.
Brilliant work....really enjoyed learning from your video. Thank you.
Gabrielle McSharry Thanks, this is a great technique to experiment with and works with different types of paint. I will try to work on an udated version of this demo soon.
I was doubtful at first, but very impressed with result. Must try, thanks.
elfy60 It's a great technique, hope you get some good results !
Brilliant
I love it! Absolutely brilliant!
Looks like a window with curtains. 😍👍👌
My art tutor would lose his mind with all those inky finger prints around the border! 😂😂 Interesting print making technique, thanks for sharing.
Holly Williams I've only just got into the habit of wearing latex gloves when making these prints, it does help. Glad you liked the demo, thanks for watching.
Perfecto!!!!! Me encanta!!!👏👏
Fantastic this methode for Monoprint, thanks!!
This is the best demo nice work!
Very nice. Lovely print.
Great technique! Many thanks for sharing it with us.
Annie Gunn Thanks
I love it! Thanks for sharing
Oh crickey. .. I just love this, thank you for sharing with us all x
Joyce Joy your welcome !
WOW, you do SUCH great art! I just commented on your amazing folding wreck, had already watched this and so looked for more of your art = SO good. Thank you for putting these up.
I like your sort of frame thingy here, so simple and so great and I've never seen nor used oil bar, it looks fun...
You have great talent.
Jenny Hughes Thanks very much, I post more of my work on Facebook, I appreciate your comments.
I like this very much :) thank you!!!
Andrea Müller Thanks !
Absolutely great!
love this... thank you for the demo going to try a large scale piece.
Louise Zanghellini It's a very simple technique and you can get some fantastic results, larger scale pieces work well and I hope you get some good results.
Impressive!!!!
Your definition of mono-printing is slightly off, but otherwise your result with this smudge through art is very impressive and inspirational.
thank you for your time
Nice! I subscribed.
Very cool indeed!!
gay neels Thanks
way cool
Fascinating
Thank you
The ASMR factor is huge here.
Iago B Thanks for making me aware of this, It's something that I've only just discovered and can see how this video in particular has those qualities. I do prefer them without music or commentary and I've had comments about this before.
I just call it working without distracting noise.
Thank you so much for this video. I am trying collagraphs and not getting far. Tonight I grabbed some old paper and an old frame and had a go. Now I wish I had used better materials. I actually made something I like and it has given me scope to further experiment. What do you seal it with and which oil crayon is best as mine wasn’t very dark.
Thank you, good to know you found the demo interesting. No need to fix the drawing, oil bars are different than oil pastels.
Brilliant thanks
I love the techniques you show in your videos. I just wish you would speak since you have sound on. And mention the materials you use.
I have tried this but it doesn't feel right to talk while I work and some people have told me they like the silence and no music.
Hello Dann. Of course you use an acrylic varnish to protect your Acryl + Charcoal works? All framed and under glass for your exhibitions? I like your process, this mixture of painting and sculpture. Good continuation.
Hi Dan, I´m Elisa from Chile. I think your videos are wonderful, they are inspiring! I teach at a Design School (University) but my students are all locked now, because of corona virus. They are first year students, so they do not have many materials at home, like different papers or colors. I was wondering if they could use other kind of pigments, like shoe polish or maybe something from the kitchen. Have you tried something like this? Thank you!
That's a great idea and one that I have been thinking about making a demo
video about exploring the use of alternative matreials. I remember doing something similar when I was at art school, the challenge to create without paint or brushes. I remember using coffee, spices, sauces etc. Thanks for watching the videos I hope they help.
Refreshing.
Paula Steffen Thanks very much
Fantastic Thankyou so much
This is fantastic!
Let's Make A Mess Today welke kleur voor gezicht verf.
Not what I thought a monoprint was, but still awesome and cheap and easy.
Michael Crumpton , oh, it’s DEFINITELY a ‘mono’ print! Tee kewl!
Likewise Michael. Just a sngle pass on the print paper is how I was shown.
Kat McGee, please explain.
"The monoprint is a form of printmaking where the image can only be made once, unlike most printmaking which allows for multiple originals." [The Tate]
It's nothing to do with single colour, or single pass. Each monoprint is as unique as an oil painting: no exact copies or editions possible.
Thank you Paul.but a single pass would be unique as it would be the sole or only one. Maybe single pass is not the right word to use. My monoprint was what I painted on a tile and took a print of it.
great!
Stencil pizza 👍🙂.
Painting bello.

Cool!
great that there's no talking!
Rosy Townsend I always find that a distraction when I watch demos, it seems unnecessary to describe what your doing ! Thanks for watching.
Love your work would like to try it with my students what surface are you using to add the pastel? Thank you
спасибо! очень интересно. более десяти раз просмотрела, но так и не поняла, откуда появилась белая ровная линия? она с края рисунка. проводим черные линии и вдруг появляется прямая белая????? она самая волшебная и проследить за ней мне не удалось.
Спасибо. Белые части сделаны из рваной бумаги, чтобы остановить краску. Вы можете использовать газету. Надеюсь это поможет. Спасибо за просмотр.
How VERY intriguing! I have an oilstick sent to me by mistake from dick blick and I never knew what to do with it, because one pthalo blue stick is kinda useless... (except maybe for monochromatic studies) so now I have something to try with it! I wonder if parchment paper would hold up better to abuse than tissue paper...
Bravo!
thankyou my project i pass now
Dan. For a newbie like me this looks fantastic but I can't work out what that plastic type paper is that you are using? What is the black paint? I went to kindle to buy your book on monoprinting but it is not available. Please, caan you help me?
The plastic is biodegradable bags and I use an oil stick for this. You will fin an e-book version of my book on my website dantirels.co.uk
Please let me know the name of the colour you used . Impressive work
This is just a black oil bar.
@@DanTirels Thank you
This is amazing! Thank you. Do you think this could work to make on the spot monoprints out in the landscape or too messy?
doveliz12 I think that would be a great idea, I suppose it would be messy but as long as you protected the finished work (cling film maybe) I can see this working, you could even incorporate elements from the landscape (leaves, grass etc) I will try and film a demo of this, Thanks for the idea.
@@DanTirels I can't wait to try this outside, thank you so much for your reply. I've been wanting to do this for ages. Looking forward to your demo. Love what you do.
Hi! What do you call that coloring medium you used? The black one?
bullfrogthem These are Windsor and Newton oilbars. They are available in a range of colours. You can also use ordinary oil paint, just use a thin layer on the transfer sheet.
@@DanTirels Thank you for the info, Dan!
Thanks for sharing
..never thought to use oil sticks..can you layer colours?
merrilees moran yes that works with 3 - 4 colours start with light colour leave black last
Was curious too, do you save the plastic sheets to let and dry reuse?
Yes always re-use them, keep a selection like a set of brushes just wipe when finished and store flat between grease-proof paper.
@@DanTirels Oh, I will retrieve some of them from the trash, got some more bags today to use, this clever technique is working out very well, thanks for the replay and for your vids!!
Hi Sir! I would like to ask on how I can store the painting properly. Do I need to put anything on it after I'm done? Thank you, Sir! I'm a fan!😊
Just allow to dry (takes about 2 days) store with tissue paper between each work. Doesn't need spraying or sealing.Thanks for watching.
@@DanTirels thank you, Sir!
I guess the oilbar material will dry? Have you ever gone back in and added other colors by brush, ect? Thanks.
Victoria-Menna Perez The oilbars can take a few days to completely dry but you could work over them. I've not done this but I've worked over acrylic paint and sometimes recycled old work by printing over.
Hi,can I use Oil Pastels Soft Paint Crayons Sticks ??
I don't think that would work correctly with this process, the oil bars are a mix of paint and wax and act a bit like fast drying oil paint.
Hey, this is a great technique! what is the paper you use, is it just a simple tracing paper?
No its plastic, try recycled bags or bin liners.
Stuplimforus!
Hi! Great video! The paper that you put the marks on, was that a wax paper of some sort?
justasillygirl no its just a piece of recycling of a plastic bags
Fascinating technique and fantastic piece of artwork. I've never came across an "Oilbar" before. Is there an alternative to this apart from the oilbar or ink? Maybe acrylics? Please don't some more of these tutorials. Thanks so much.
D G Thanks for the comments glad you liked it. I've recently tried acrylic paint mixed with silkscreen medium (this makes it thicker and slows the drying time) You can also use ordinary oil paint in thin layers. I will upload some more demos soon. Thanks
@@DanTirels do you think oils pastels would work - I mean, I ought to (will!) experiment myself, but typically strapped for time lesson planning!
I havent tried this with oil pastels so I'm not sure about that, I have a feeling they would be too soft, the oilbars contain wax so I think thats why they work. The oilbars are very expensive so I would recommend using the oil paint shown in some of the recent demos. I hope this helps, thanks for watching the videos. @@sunnyslugs
Thanks for showing this. Can you use other mediums aside from oil bars? What about water-based mediums?
cloudhand0 I don't think it works with acrylics or other water based mediums unless you used a retarder to slow the drying process. Silkscreen mediums may work.
Okay, thanks for answering. Since I asked, I found out about Akua Intaglio water-based printing inks that apparently don't dry fast, so I might try them.
What are you using as a substrate to lay the oil stick on? Vellum?
It is just a recycled plastic bag.
Great technique, I will surely try it! What kind of paper do you use? Can I purchase it in Germany?
Use a heavyweight paper (200gsm) cartridge paper is good or a smooth card.
@@DanTirels Oh, I am sorry, this is a misunderstanding. I forgot to mention which paper I mean. I mean the thin paper which you you use to print on the other paper.
Thanks for this awesome tutorial! Is the black oil bar you use the same thing as an oil pastel? Or does it have an alternative name?
The oil bar used in this demo is made with wax and is quite different from the oil pastels which are quite greasy and do not dry completely, I haven't used pastels for this technique but you can work with ordinary oil paint. Thanks for watching.
@@DanTirels Fantastic, thank you so much for replying!
hello! after you’re done with the print do you coat it with anything or do you just use scans of the original? great video!!
There is no need to apply any varnish or spray with a fixative. The print will be dry in a few days.
Dan Tirels thank you for your response! thanks to you i’ll try monoprinting for the first time
Impressive!what kind of charcoal is that?
M.giselli H. It's not charcoal but Winsor and Newton oilbar. Available in various colours, a bit expensive but this technique also works with oil paint.
谢谢,很喜欢
Hi Dan. Do you always varnish your acrylic monoprints?
It isn't really needed when working on paper but I would always apply a couple of coats of a matt varnish spray when I work on canvas.
hello dan, at the end how do you fix the color on the paper?
There is no need to fix this, just allow to dry.
Are you using wax paper?
No the pain transfer sheet is recycled plastic
What're the name of the materials?
Black oil bar, plastic bag, cartridge paper.
Do you have a list of the materials somewhere?
User123321 Most of the materials used are just recycled. The cardboard is just scrap and the transfer sheet is made from a plastic bag. The oilbar is a Windsor and Newton (Mars black) but you can use oil paint. The paper is smooth cartridge.
Where can you buy large oil bars I can only find the skinny ones
merrilees moran I get them on eBay these are Windsor and Newton (loads of colours)
Dan Tirels will oil pastels also work?
❤
