I have tried to show with this acrylic monoprinting demo how you can achieve a wide range of marks and interesting textures. Unlike oil paint acrylic does require careful application and can be difficult to work with due to the fast drying times. Additional mediums can be added that will slow this down but none have been used in this demo. Recycled art projects.
The monoprinting technique works best on a smooth surface so the canvas panel has had at least 4 coats of primer. There are many videos on RUclips that demonstrate this surface treatment and depending on the type of primer used it can be brushed on or spread with a pallet knife to achieve the desired surface, use a damp sponge to remove the weave of the canvas and allow each coat to dry. You are looking to achieve a working surface that is similar to a smooth cartridge paper.
Before I begin this work I select the colours for the composition by painting on scrap paper to see how they work together, pick complimentary colours and try not to use too many. This painting uses just 5 colours.
Method :
Begin with the lightest colour (Yellow Ochre). Because this is an abstract work I have not drawn anything on the canvas to start, but this technique can be used with landscape, figurative or still life and for this I would always begin with a rough pencil drawing. Apply a thin layer of paint onto the plastic transfer sheet and then carefully begin to apply onto the canvas. Use various degrees of pressure with your fingers or soft rag, use a blunt pencil or cotton bud to achieve lines and texture, be careful not to overwork at this early stage and keep some of the canvas free from paint, this empty space begins to form the base layer of the composition. Allow each layer of paint to dry before proceeding. Take care when using the black paint as this can sometimes deaden the composition, if this happens allow to dry then apply a lighter colour over the black. For the final layer of paint I have mixed 2 tones, a light and dark version of the same colour, this is done to achieve a texture and to prevent areas of the composition becoming too dominant. I complete this work using a hand cut stencil to add a random pattern, I often use this in compositions to add interest within all the textures but try not to overuse it and if it doesn't work apply paint to cover. The stencil is cut from scrap card.
When finished apply a couple of coats of acrylic matt varnish.
Materials :
Stretched canvas 20" x 20" primed with 4 coats of primer to achieve a highly smooth surface.
Paint :
Winsor & Newton Galeria Acrylic
Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Red, Cadmium Yellow, Cerulean Blue, White, Black.
Rags, sponge, cotton buds, bamboo skewers.
@Dan Tirels Greetings from the USA! I would love to get a print of this particular piece but I was unable to find it on your website. Can you please tell me if it’s possible to get a print of this absolutely incredible epic masterpiece? What is so amazing about your art, which there are countless amazing things, is how many elements can be depicted if one truly studies this piece, which to me it’s just an incredibly awesome form of art all its own! Truly, what you do is so unique leaving each finished work as a OOAK (one of a kind) piece that goes on telling its story forever. If I look long enough, I can see all sorts of scenes, elements, pieces, depictions, etc. taking abstract art to a whole new level of pure utter bliss! Although I am a graphics artist for 20+ years, I am mostly on the newer side of painting. I just now got my painting studio set up with all my supplies and I’m ready to begin my new adventure, and I would love it if the very first piece of art that I display on the wall in my art room for inspiration is this piece right here that you so eloquently, beautifully and masterfully brought to life in this video! I am absolutely in love with it! It’s beyond perfect! Please let me know if you get a chance… Thank you so very much!
Wow! That's some response to this video, I thank you for such a positive view of this piece. I know what you mean when you describe seeing many things within the painting, one of the joys of this process is the journey that your work takes, it is often a surprise and it doesn't always work out the way you expect. I hope it provides you with encouragement and inspiration. You will find a link to my Teespring shop below the video. The title of the painting is Effervescence and it is now available as a poster in 2 sizes and also as a Tee shirt in various colours.Thank you for your interest and support of my work, all feedback is always appreciated.
Dan Tirels Awesome! Thank you so much! And yes that is what is so amazing about your technique… It’s like a ton of different elements and scenes shine through what some people might view as just abstract chaos, but I see many pictures it’s awesome… Please keep up the great work! Thanks again and God bless!!!
Dan Tirels hi. None of those links took me to tee spring and I checked your website but couldn’t find Effervescence. Could you provide a direct link to it above in the description?

I always have these pareidolia experiences when watching Dan Tirels ' videos. Watching his process is always magical and full of surprises. This is better viewing than anything on the television!
Thanks for watching ! Really appreciate your comments and positive feedback, hope you get some good results trying this technique.
Thanks to my daughter 's teacher who teach this method to her and all studens. Now, she can do the same, she is 6 years !
That's great!
Thank you - my work is always too solid and you have let me see a way to avoid that. No talk - no distracting music - absolutely relaxing and informative. Just how it should be.
Thanks very much I really appreciate your positive reaction to the demo.
I have done tons of mixed media, but never tried this technique. Thank you for sharing, it’s a beautiful piece.
Hi Dan--Thank you for inviting and allowing us to view some of your techniques for producing your artwork. During the creation process, you produce your own rhythm, tempo, timbre and beat while letting the materials and momentary feelings extend into a reproduce-able period on substrate. Thank you for sharing the journey.
Thank you very much for your positive comments. I try to film the videos so they are an accurate representation of the creative process rather than a " How to" video, it isn't always easy to explain the intuitive way I create some of these artworks but I hope that by filming in a certain way it represents an edited version of this technique. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much, Dan. this video is very informative. It is one of the videos I will come review regularly.
Glad it was helpful!
Abstract is free to create and imagine. Abstract is an exploration of taste in the soul of the creator. I like your work
I used this method to create what felt like my first painting. I need and want to continue learning drawing skills. This technique gets me developing an understanding of composition and lets me work at understanding color. And it encouraged me not to throw the whole palette on at once!
Je ne cesse de la regarder je suis toujours émerveillée chaque fois cela m’inspire beaucoup dans ma pratique de peintureMerci pour toutes ces belles idées!
Oh merci beaucoup !
Dan, you’re an absolute genius. Your creativity is astounding-equaled only by your generosity in sharing it! Thank you for your inspiration and know how!!
My pleasure!
After watching this video, I was inspired to try my hand. Have to admit, I am happy and find myself in a peaceful place when I fo. So, thank you for inspiring me.
Thank you, I'm pleased to know that you have found inspiration from this video. This really is a great technique to experiment with and with just a little practice it is possible to achieve excellent results. Good luck with your work.
you are great, i get a lot of inspiration from you, its relaxing that their is no musik or talking, thank you and please continue, jette from denmark
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for sharing this video ,love the fact that you don't say a word and just go with the flow!!!
I think you can learn more by just watching than me explaining as I go along. Thanks for watching
Dan amazing technique thank you for share your talent and process!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I saw your video and couldn't wait to try it out. I decided to use the same color scheme and got to work. Once I had 3/4 or so of the painting done, I stood back and looked. I was disappointed with it as it had no redeeming qualities at all the way yours did. I'm impatient and wanted the very first attempt at this new technique to be a home run. I turned it 90 degrees. Still awful. I turned it 90 degrees more. WOW! I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There, plain as day was the image of George Washington. It lacked detail, but was definitely him. I added some detail and a flag using your technique for all of it. I am so happy with how it came out. I wish I could upload a pic. Thanks, Dan. I've now watched many more of your instructional videos and am learning a lot.
Thanks it is always good to hear from people who have found inspiration from the videos. It is a great technique to experiment with. If you visit my website you will find a gallery of viewers work that has been submitted from all over the world. Please send work to be included if you are happy for it to be seen.

This is a beautiful demonstration and I am pleased that so many people have viewed it! All your videos should have similar views, in my humble opinion. Excellent and thank you!
It is a beautiful painting, thanks for sharing⭐️ as I’m watching your work I imagined boats sailing for exploration on a very mystical waters…
Thank you very much!
Wieder ein Traum von dir !!!! Tolles Bild und sehr gezeigt 👍🙏🎨vielen Dank ! Du bist ein wunderbarer Künstler 🎨🤝🙏
Thanks
i love your method. This is a game changer for me because I spend too much time overthinking and it destroys creativity. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I love watching your paintings develop.
Beautiful! I wasn't sure where you were going with the aqua-blue at first and didn't like it. But now that I see the finished product, I understand that the blue is foundational to the work and I like the painting a lot. Thank you, Dr. Marc
Thank you so much!
They say process is more enjoyable than the product. I enjoyed both here..
I was at a loss as tp how to add depth to a watercolor/photo montage until I came across this idea--loving your creative silence also--very rare and appreciated !
Always good to hear from those who have been inspired by the videos, thanks for the feedback.
With each change in color, my mind created a whole different ending. Brilliant talent!
Thanks very much
Love the painting and loved watching u do it and so amazed how a brush was not used to create this beautiful piece! Thank you for sharing your techniques!
Thank you so much 😀
Very interesting and useful technique. Thanks for sharing
You're very welcome!
Is it crazy that I love it after just the first color and the lines scratched on?
I really love this painting . I don’t really know why....I’ve never cared for this type of painting before but, every color, every line can be read in my mind. . The past ,present and the future comes through each stroke . Thank you for opening my senses .
Thank you so much 😀 This was filmed over a few days, so although it does look like a simple technique it has taken a long thought process and a lot of planning for the composition and colours.
STUNNING. If I had the money I would buy this one,, just before you started with the dots.
Thanks for this! I had a large canvas with cut out magazines letters and didnt know what to put over it..so I tried your meathod and so glad I did! Amazed by the new and easy technique! Thanks again!
Thanks, Dan, along with the talented experience, there is the calm which is much appreciated. I'll do one of my own today.
OMG... talent: technique, colour theory, process, on and on... and probably the most therapeutic video I've watch in a long time. I'm now both relaxed and inspired!! Thank you for sharing this and I'm amazed that it's 3 years old (at the time of this writing).
Thank you so much 😀 I appreciate your feedback and support.
I really liked watching this video. How all the colours and structures became a very interesting picture to look at. Especially after the black at the end was put on, that made it complete. There is so much to see and still it is not chaotic. Thank you for again a very inspiring video. This time with acrylic which was a surprise for me.
Thanks, I'm trying to film more demo videos with acrylic paint as it seems to be a popular request. Glad you enjoyed the demo and thanks for watching.
I absolutely love this. Oh thank you, Dan Tirels, for sharing the making of this wonderful piece of art with us.
This piece is so full of movement and yet it’s restful as well. Your videos are very pure with just sounds of the materials moving. Really a great experience to watch and listen.
Thanks very much, I really appreciate your interest and support.m Glad you enjoy the videos.
Dan, watched this video last night and immediately started prepping a canvas to give this a try today. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Did you make the painting? If you did, how did it came out.
Yes I did. 2'x3' and it was so fun. Love this method.
Have watched several of your videos and have begun to incorporate your monoprinting techniques into my paintings. Thanks for sharing your artwork.
Forgot to add that Instead of using a stencil I printed with bubble wrap.
Thanks, I always think its worth experimenting with different waste materials, I have tried bubble wrap and various forms of packing materials.
First time I see this kind of painting with plastic paper, and the result il very nice! I will try it soon!!!!! Thanks a lot for this video.
Superbe résultat avec une magnifique technique.
Bravo
Love the video and technique Dan
very meditative...like this way of mark making. 👍
Glad you think so! Thanks for the feedback.
Love this painting
A picture that can be painted forever.
The main thing is to stop in time :)
Thanks for the ideas!
i can see a dogs face amerging at 9.48, a bit like a jack russel. I really love this, very spontaneous. Very good to see a painting coming to life in the moment. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much 😀 It is interesting to know what others see in this work. I sometimes have to make an effort to stop myself from seeing images as it would interfere with the process.
Enjoy watching your process/methods and the result. Seems innovative...
This is so cool. I really like the way the black speckled effect looks.
I was like omg, that blue, oh no! Then I was like that blue, yes, yes, perfect. I'm being silly. I loved watching you create this! Very refreshing piece.
Love the Trace monotypes on canvas! Who needs a paintbrush? I’m amazed at how long the acrylic paint stayed wet. I will definitely try this method. Thanks for sharing it.
Absolut beeindruckt! Starre völlig fasziniert zu! Großartig!
Vielen Dank für Ihre Nachricht
I love your tutorial and your painting. I learned so much by watching you work. Thanks for sharing.
Fascinating journey to a unknown territory

Merci beaucoup pour vos aimables paroles et je suis heureux que vous ayez aimé regarder les vidéos
You make it look so effortless.
Waouh ❤️❤️❤️❤️ c est magnifique !!! Merci pour votre partage 😊. It s marvelous, thanks for your share. 😊
This is a very cool idea for backgrounds! I wonder...when the back ground is complete, you can do something similar with a black paint on you plastic sheet and do like a line sketch of maybe a nude, and "draw" or trace a picture. You should get a similar effect to a mono-type print. Very cool idea indeed. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks, I think this technique has lots of possibilities and you can make it work for your own particular style. Great for landscapes etc. Glad you enjoyed the demo.
Hi from South Africa. This is absolutely fantastic in every way. I want to try and do the same technique.
What an inspiration! Thank you for filming this and sharing your process with everyone. Very Zen. Looking forward to trying this myself.
You are so welcome!
Peace and quiet and Art, how wonderful, I really enjoy watching you create, you make it look 👀 so easy, can’t wait to give it a try💕
I was happy to see the colors on canvas.... thanks so much for the tutorial...if I do not try this technique I think I'm cheating myself.
Please give it a try ! I'm sure you will find it an interesting technique and it is always a surprise how the finished work turns out.
@@DanTirels you can! ! ! ! ! Me.
Wow!!
Inventive and Creative!!
Much appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Your stuff is golden.
like your style Dan
Thanks so much for sharing Dan! Beautiful result!
It looks great and it seems to be a very interesting way of working with painting, printing, drawing, mark making in the in-between zone of knowing- not knowing, will and intuition. Thank you for sharing and thank you for your very clear written information of important details in the technique. It is very helpfull
Thank you, this is such an enjoyable process and it can produce some fantastic results even if you just use it as an experiment in mark making and exploring colour variations.
Great movement in your painting, I admire your feeling for balance. Thank you!
Thankyou.
This is the first time I have seen this technique done this way. Thank you for sharing it brings possibilities into my work.
Thank you,
Dawn Brosnan
You are so welcome!
Now this is creative art making. I love this spontenous technique. Feel naturally creating an image from the artists inner self.Well done.
Thanks so much, it's always great to receive such positive comments and feedback. Glad you enjoyed the demo.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. i can read the silence, art do not need sound for talk us. Thanks form Costa Rica.
This was so much fun to watch! Please do more of these vidios !
Love your technique
LOVE THIS TECHNIQUE!!! So creative! I needed something like this to kickstart my creativity. Thanks for the inspiration. Simply beautiful.
Thanks for the positive comments, always good to know that the videos are helpful.
Sensational...........Fabulous work
Thank you so much 😀
Vey cool Dan! I've recently gone back to abstract painting after many years. Been racking my brain trying to figure it out again and your video's have inspired me! Layers, layers, layers! That is one element so essential. Thank you!
Glad to help! This is a very good technique to experiment with and you will achieve results that will surprise you. Good luck with your future creative explorations.
Wow!!!! Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing this style of painting. I thought each stage was wonderful on its own. I will be looking for more of your work.
Thank you so much!
Your artwork so fantastic, masterpiece of abstract painting,I really love your artwork
What a beautiful piece! 💗Inspires me to try this method
Love the movement in this piece.
I usually use gel plates to do monoprinting, but this technique has been on my list to try for a while, and watching this video has given me more inspiration.
I wasn't sure about the blue, I felt it was too solid, so was glad to see you broke it up with the black. Love the finished piece! Have subscribed.
Julia.
Thanks, I always like to see how these works progress, the colours are all worked out and planned before I begin, the end result is often a surprise and does lead on to other compositions.
I love the serendipity of monoprinting. It's something you can't get with a brush.
I never know when we must STOP because at this point we know that the work is ready!!!
I saw a figure head in this. Love watching your process, pure creativity. Eager to attempt it.
Now it's really fun , nice and beautiful 😍
Glad you like it!
Can't wait to try this!
Have fun!
I like it very much! Beautiful spontaneous signs and marks, thank you!
Thank you very much!

This is really, really cool. I am inspired to try the technique. Thank you for sharing your talents and inspiration.
Wonderful video...Just what i needed as i try to finish another recent diptych. The little things take so much consideration.
Thanks so much. I’m obsessed with this technique and learned a lot from your video!
Very interesting and I am excited to try this technique. Thank you.

This was so satisfying to watch
Thankyou
You are right, use old marterial is My motto too!!
Your video.’ S without sound are marvellous. The mouvements are enough.
Go on. Even here in Holland I love them.
