0:00 Canvas panels. I'm working on these small ready primed panels 5" x 7"
0:22 Masking tape. This is to form a structure for the iron layer, protecting areas of the canvas that you want to keep free. A tip is to keep this simple, tear or cut the tape, use a mix of thin pieces and larger sections.
2:12 PVA glue. This is to enable the iron powder to stick to the canvas, don't use too much or you will overload the iron. I have found this to be the best kind of glue to work with although you could experiment. Use a brush to achieve a flat finish.
2:51 Iron powder. This is 100% genuine iron powder, used by for casting by model makers and sculptors. You will find this for sale online (try Ebay ) Spread over the wet glue so everything is covered, tap off the excess and repeat until all the glued sections are covered with a fine layer of iron. Take care with this, read the label carefully DO NOT BREATH IN. (always wear a mask if you can)
3:52 Remove the masking tape. Do this before the glue has dried or you will remove some of the iron layer. Repeat this process for all the panels.
4:27 Stencils. Try experimenting with a pattern, you could just paint this on by hand or use a cut stencil like the one used here.
9:00 The finished iron layer. This is the first stage completed. Although I am using the small panels here for this demo, this will work very well on a larger scale. I would always recommend to practice on these small panels to begin with.
9:38 Wax crayon. To add some interest draw over the canvas with a white wax crayon or you could try using a candle.
10:16 Hydrogen Peroxide. This is used to begin the oxidation process of the iron. I use a 12% strength here and this was bought on ebay. Take care and always use in a well ventilated room or outside if possible. I transfer this into a spray bottle so you can produce a fine mist. Get the bottles on ebay or Amazon, they are very useful for this and other projects. Lightly spray over the surface of each panel.
10:59 Salt water. Mix table or sea salt with warm water to form a strong salt solution. Spray this over the panels and you will now begin to see the oxidation process begin to take place, this does not take very long.
11:55 White vinegar. A spray of this will really speed up the process, don't use too much.
15:45 The oxidation of the iron. The six panels have begun the dramatic transformation, the rusting will continue until all the liquid has dried
16:00 Liver of Sulphur. Use this to change the colour of the iron, you can paint it on with a brush or draw direct from the tube to make these blackish lines which will gradually change. This chemical can be diluted with water to vary the colour produced. Add it to the plastic spray bottle for more coverage when working on a larger scale.
17:18 Cutting the templates. Using a thick piece of card, begin to make a mask that will protect the areas from the application of copper. Keep the design simple and work with the previous iron layer as a guide.
19:32 The finished templates. The designs reveal the areas that will be coated with the copper.
20:42 Copper powder. Always use 100% copper powder, this can be expensive but you will not use large quantities for this process. You can use the same method as the iron layer and apply a coat of PVA glue first or try this method combining the powder with an acrylic base (from culturehustle.com ) or medium and mixing into a thin paste. Add a little water if it needs to be thinner. Apply with a brush making sure to cover those areas not protected with the mask. Allow to dry then paint another layer if needed.
23:43 The finished copper application.
24:20 Copper patination.
You will find this here on EBAY www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133412988503
or from AMAZON amzn.to/3vzgZMg
This fluid can be applied with a brush and diluted to vary the strength of colour. The changes will happen immediately and continue for the next few hours, add more for a stronger colour.

Thanks very much for all your positive comments about this video, I'm very pleased with the response and hope that you will enjoy working with this technique. I have put a materials list in the description and there are some product links if you have trouble finding the materials used for this process.
stunning - thank you for this Dan! I once bought iron and copper powder but never tried. I love that there's no music and you didn't speed it up. This was so calming to watch. I will give it a try :)
Glad you like it! Thanks for the feedback. I like to make the kind of videos that I like to watch myself, I think time lapse sequences can be a bit confusing sometimes so prefer to edit together real time videos that show the process in detail. Hope you get some good results with this technique.
@@DanTirels yes! No music is amazing!
Watching now!
Words are totally inadequate… so just let me feel it… your art… just let me feel it… Gracias Dan.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed this.
Absolutely fascinating and beautiful. Amazing process. Thank you for your meticulous procedure and for sharing that with us. How kind, imaginative and talented you are!
Woaw, Dan!! A different topic - and I am as fascinated as always!! I wish I had your patience... Thank you soooo much for sharing !!! 🌷
Glad you enjoyed it! This demo was tricky to film because of the various processes involved but I have had a lot of positive comments and hope you give this a try.

Dan, you are an alchemist. You take base materials and turn them into artistic gold. I love your work and your style.
What an incredible process. The results are fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

I LOVE THIS....I've played with metal jewelry for the last few years using some patinas, finally using colored pencils for coloring but I totally love this!!!!
Living by the coast I have always been drawn to these colours, reminds me of the old ships and abandoned shipping containers on the derelict dockside.
Absolutely incredible.
Absolutely love these ,beautiful colours and texture !

Thanks
Beautiful
I love the color combination
Thank you
Brilliant Ideas Dan, Thanx 4 Sharing
Glad you liked it!
Very interesting!! Love the finished product!! 😍
Thanks so much!
If you want to use powder, put it an old shaker bottle, like for herbs, and it shakes nicely. Brushing on a paste was great too. For spray bottles, go to beauty department or with good cleaning supplies and get a sprayer that turns to adjust. You won’t believe the difference it makes.
Thanks for the info!
Well what can I say absolutely marvellous thank you for the demonstration and precise description. X 💋
You are so welcome!
Excellent artwork as always!!! Congratulations 👏 Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you very much!
@@DanTirels I am a fine Artist and you have been inspiring me all these years I am following your channel. Me and many others thank you for your "services" that you providing through your videos. I hope that this gives back to you as much as you give to people 🙂
I just loved this!! Looks like some ancient artwork uncovered in caves or tombs!!! I'VE never seen this done like this b4. Stunning absolutely stunning my friend!!
Glad you enjoyed it

Fabulous technique! I’ve done the rusting portion before, but the addition of the copper is really beautiful!
Thanks so much! This copper tone is very appealing and inspires lots of ideas.
this was a simply beautiful process i can't wait to try it.. just ordered some of these supplies.. thank you for the comprehensive instructions too😀
This is such a great technique, hope to film a new demo soon.
Truly amazing. Wow!
Thank you.
Just brilliant, love them
Thanks
I've always enjoyed how you approach your work and the use of the different materials. This video shows fine art with science. The science part took me back to high school Chemistry class. Lol!! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, I really enjoyed working on this. Hoping to film more soon. Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow! These are amazing ❤️
Glad you like them!
Gosh I loved this. Wish I had all the materials to try it myself yet I'm heading in another direction that's currently using my resources. Thank you and I hope to come back to your style in the future.
Thank you, it's always good to experiment with different materials, it is possible to achieve this with paint using the correct colours but I thing the added interest with this is the chemical process and the reaction of the metals.
what a wonderful process..want to try this out...thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome! Hope you get some good results.
These are alchemical and magical.
It is realy marvelous !
Amazing process! The finished pieces are fabulous.Thank you for sharing 😊

Très surprenant et beau !
Magnifique ! :D
Loved all 6 panels till the oxidisation it was amazing to c u do it and the transformation was amazing. Found the 2nd stage ruined it a bit sorry…thx for sharing
Thanks, remember that the demo video gives you the ideas to try and experiment, use all or just some of the techniques to suit your own preferences. Glad you enjoyed this demo.
As a science teacher, i find this video particularly fascinating. How on earth do u discover these techniques??!! U really push the boundaries of this art form
I think living by the coast and seeing the weathered materials found along the shore inspire a lot of my work. Love to watch how these transform over time.
Thank you for the video.🙂
I wouldn't have known about how to use iron if not for this video and definitely want to experiment with it.
Hope you give this a try, thanks for watching.
@@DanTirels I want to try it with different types and sizes of salt and saline solutions (table, sea, pickling, road, epsom, alum, etc & nasal, enema, wound cleansing, etc).
Inspired
UN GENIO!!!!!!!!!! FELICITACIONES MUY LINDOOOOOOOOOOOO excelente!!!!!! desde ARGENTINA ::::APLAUSOS°""""""
Fantastic I use rust to but in powertex
I
Lovely effects. Would love to try once I have the ingredients. It wasn't clear to me what you had in the bottle te draw the dark lines.
Thanks so much for giving inspiration.
Thank you, I will be updating the description under the video with a full materials list and Time stamps that can be skipped through to various sections. (the bottle that you see me use is called Liver of Sulphur)
@@DanTirels Brilliant idea to use the Liver of Sulphur, keeping with the metal/oxidation/patina theme, to get an "organic black" Peace
