This a wonderfully layered, vibrant and luminous piece of art. The complexity is astounding -- as if written in code that we can nearly grasp, but the truth is just out of understanding. So much motion, movement and emotion. Bravo! Thank you for sharing the creation of this!
Dear sir, you are by far my favourite Artist! If I could afford it I would collect your work. I am blown away by how it makes me feel alive! Thank you!
Watching you work on this piece was fascinating to see. I have just recently found your channel and am now avidly working my way through your back catalogue. Bravo!
This is stunning! I see two robots (one on the left is very gloomy 😯), the one on right is getting on with it and very determined. Then I see a little stick figure in between who wonders who they will be when all grown up - gloomy or determined. However, I may have overthought the whole thing! Awesome painting ❤
This is a tremendous peice of work Dan, it's wonderful. You must have a large studio to store all your work, especially the bigger pieces. I'm quite envious.
I wish, I am limited for space and a recent plan to move into a larger studio has been put on hold due to COVID-19. Most artwork is eventually recycled and this canvas will most likely be painted over.
@@DanTirels Dan. I'm so sorry for your losing of the chance of a larger studio. Hopefully, once the country begins to return to normal a suitable place will come along.
Oh, that was what I needed to see today!!! Beautiful. I liked it best at 33.24. I felt the 'bubbles' were overkill. But the colors and shapes, overall...you know how it feels to be out in the sunshine after days and days of inclement weather? Yessss..... So there's me, sitting in front of the computer monitor, just soaking up the sun! I could actually feel my mood improve while watching that. Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas to you and Buzz! P.S. Those eyelashes @3:03!!!! 👁🗨
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you. The work went through a few stages and the development in the bottom right section was planned (it was meant to reference the covid virus in some way) I sometimes continue to work on the paintings even after they are finished. Best wishes for the new year,
I just found your channel, and I certainly didn’t realize I’d see such a great piece! I usually use pastels, and I’d have to “borrow” some of my daughter’s black charcoal. Lol. I also use acrylics. I loved seeing you work! Thank you for sharing!
What a fantastic piece of work Dan - this video is a real treat on Xmas eve - thank you. This work is so you - it was a picture in this style that attracted me to your YT Channel in the first place. I absolutely love the finished painting. I was laughing at myself at intervals throughout the process because I was nearly shouting at you not to paint over this bit or that bit but it all comes together wonderfully in the end. Interesting effect using green screen - we could have had you doing this with a t-shirt on and a blizzard going on around you or halfway up an erupting volcano!! Look forward to seeing how that progresses if you use green screen again. On this occasion, I could have listened to the music throughout - so soothing for my jangled nerves. Jesus, this is turning into an Oscar acceptance speech! Thanks so much for all your generosity of time, effort & spirit and your gentle encouragement throughout this difficult and challenging year - you'll never know how much these wonderful videos have helped me mate. I hope you & Buzz have a good Xmas.... Cheers Martin.
Thanks very much Martin, this is a new development for the demos, I do enjoy working on a larger scale but have always found them difficult to film. The green screen helps as I can change the background to suit the artwork and I will try to do more of these. The music was one of the less annoying examples from RUclips's audio library and unfortunately it was too short. I have some professional recorded music sent to me by a talented musician and will look forward to using this on a future project. I hope you had a good Christmas and best wishes for 2020, I hope it is a better one for us all.
Great painting! About 1/3 of the way through the video when you turned the canvas upside down I swore I saw a horse and the beginnings of a jockey and when you painted the light blue layer on I cringed because the horse disappeared. However, the outcome is more extraordinary than I could have imagined at that point. Nicely done.
I liked it very much. and the process itself is very interesting. white circles without a black outline I like better through them, the look is better to draw into the distance.more air. но по стилю конечно нужен контур. спасибо! вы мой любимый художник.
I have so many questions to ask, but firstly, I want to say what a pleasure it is to watch you work. And, I love this piece. Can you tell me what kind of charcoal you use and do you use any kind of medium to dilute the paint or just water? (I always worry about under binding the paint) Do you use ordinary pastel/charcoal fixative on the canvas or is it another kind that you can then paint over? And, finally, what brand of brushes do you use? I end up with brush hairs in my paintings, especially when trying to blend the paint and it's the bane of my life. I wouldn't mind forking out for quality brushes if I knew they'd do the job. Your paint seems to go on so effortlessly that I'm jealous, lol! Thank you, in advance, Julian
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed this, I was very pleased with the outcome. The charcoal you see me use is vine charcoal which is available in a variety of grades, it is very soft so I tend to use a lot. Willow charcoal is a bit grittier but is fine for drawing and charcoal pencils are excellent for sketching. I never use an acrylic medium, this is just water, some people do not recommend this but It's fine by me as finished work is always varnished when finished. The fixative is really a cheap hairspray (this works to prevent the charcoal from bleeding into the paint) always finish with a final spray of acrylic varnish. Brushes can cause problems, if you are working on a large scale I can recommend using a good quality decorators brush, I use these all the time, avoid animal based brushes such as sable. This time of year is great for picking up brush sets in the art sales, I bought a box of 40 mixed brushes, all excellent quality. Hope this helps, and good luck with your artwork.
@@DanTirels Thank you for all that info. It was really kind of you. I was going to buy some Liquitex brushes, but they are not cheap. I'll take your advice and go for some quality decorators brushes. They will probably be more robust too :)
It's a pleasure watching you work. I saw you spayed something over your charcoal when you were done. What is the name of that spray and it looks like when you paint over the charcoal it doesn't distric from what you have done. I have never worked with charcoal before but after watching you I want to. Thank you so much you inspired me to try something new.
Thank you! Cheers! When the work is finished I would spray with a couple of coats of acrylic varnish but I also use a cheap hairspray to fix the charcoal as I work. This is only a last resort when fixative spray is unavailable and it's an old money saving tip from student days, some hairspray can cause discoloration so be warned about this, I find the cheaper the hairspray the better it is for fixing.
My biggest Tip as an Artist is to be a Child . Don't worry about what it will end up like. Just enjoy the process. If it ends up horrible.... Guess what ! You can do another one. Just don't let anyone see the horrible ones 👍😂
300 dedos arriba??😓que se pare el tren que yo me bajo...una obra de arte Dan🤘🏼hoy empiezo con esta técnica que utilizas...espero que vuelvas pronto...no soporto el pouring jajajaj
Well in an emergency (all the art shops are closed and too late to order online) A cheap hairspray is a good alternative to a more conventional fixative. A final spray with a good acrylic varnish.
Loved this piece. Just wondering if you did anything to the charcoal as it doesn't seem to smudge or blend when you painted over it? what type of charcoal did you use. Just fabulous watching the transformation.
I use vine charcoal sticks which are very soft and spray with a fixative (or in this demo a cheap hairspray) before painting with acrylic. Finish with a couple of coats of varnish.
Wonderful and dramatic. Dan and artist of infinite variety; who generously shares process and outcome. ☕️🌹💐

Wow, thank you!
This was a master class in abstract composition. Thank you.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
I love yor painting, thank you Dan.
I love it It was like being at a circus first the animals, then the big top, the trapeze, and finally the magic and crowd....Amazing.
Thank you very much, it is always great to hear how others see my work, I like your vision.
Dear sir, you are by far my favourite Artist! If I could afford it I would collect your work. I am blown away by how it makes me feel alive! Thank you!

@@DanTirels what is the spray you used 0n your canvas after you used the charcoal, thanks
Genial arte contemporáneo y artista un10
me puso nervioso!!!!!no puede parar!!!!!
You paint with a freedom I will never know
Great painting!

Excellent piece - can you outline what fixative spray you used on the raw charcoal please?
I sometimes use acrylic varnish or even a cheap hairspray to begin with. Finish with a matte acrylic varnish spray.

Where do u get the brushes and charcoal and canvas u use also what is the vanishes u use after
@@cheriesmith7794 do you see the sameting that me?😂
Very nice! Thanks for sharing your process- always interested to see how others approach a new piece. 😊

Thank you so much 🥺
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you.
You're welcome!
brilliant ! I really like the calm production and the colour scheme. What spray do you use inbetween layers?

Just enjoy the process.
If it ends up horrible.... Guess what !
You can do another one.
Just don't let anyone see the horrible ones 👍😂
Also if you like it
That's one satisfied customer.
If someone else likes it that's a Successful achievement.

Saudações! É Fantástica sua Obra, muito grato pelo Vídeo, uma verdadeira Aula, você é um Abençoado NAMASTÊ
Muito obrigado, tenho o prazer de saber que está gostando desta demonstração, espero que seja útil
Hi Dan beautiful work. What do you spray the chacoal with before starting with acrylic. 👍
I must admit I sometimes use a cheap hairspray, but also a matte acrylic varnish is also used. Fixative does not always work and is very expensive.
What did you spray on to the charcoal?
Well in an emergency (all the art shops are closed and too late to order online) A cheap hairspray is a good alternative to a more conventional fixative. A final spray with a good acrylic varnish.
I'm a newbie....You have a great eye!! what was that you were spraying? sealant?
Yes use a fixative to prevent the charcoal smudging or an acrylic matte varnish also works
Wonder if this works on canvas or just board?
Works on paper, wood panels, multiple surfaces.
What kind of paint is Dan using with the charcoal work of art and is he working on paper ?
This demo uses acrylic paint, charcoal on canvas.
What is the stray he used on Canvas ???? Anyone Know ???
Thank you
It's hairspray (a cheaper alternative to fixative) This works but be advised that it can cause yellowing in some cases.
@@DanTirels thank you. This was amazing to watch and what a killer piece this is!
Dan,do you spray the charcoal before you paint on it ?
I use a mix of painted over unfixed charcoal but fixing with a spray when needed.
Loved this piece. Just wondering if you did anything to the charcoal as it doesn't seem to smudge or blend when you painted over it? what type of charcoal did you use. Just fabulous watching the transformation.
I use vine charcoal sticks which are very soft and spray with a fixative (or in this demo a cheap hairspray) before painting with acrylic. Finish with a couple of coats of varnish.
What brand of charcoal do you use?THX🤘🏼
I use Winsor and Newton or Jacksons vine charcoal sticks.
q lo atennnn.basta!!!
me puso nervioso!!!!!!!no puede detenerse!!!!!bastaaaa!!!!!!
