[@sofiagish]

You are so inspiring, Dan!!! Thanks so, so, so much for sharing your art!!!

[@DanTirels]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@barbaraihlefeldt]

Much better without time-lapse (for me). I like your presentation in ASMR-Style and I like your very own style in making your paintings!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

I find the ASMR-type videos so soothing. They make me feel as though my brain is being massaged. LOL.

[@DanTirels]

Thanks, I hope to try a few different formats for the videos to make some improvements to the channel. I will continue with the long format videos.

This is just terrific!! Your talent is inspiring. I can't wait to try this. Thank u!!

[@DanTirels]

Thank you so much!

[@julissavelezmoll9801]

Wow, just wow! What colors did you use? Did you put them on a palette and then thin it down with water on the canvas? I would love to try to recreate this!

[@DanTirels]

Yes just use water, you can paint in thin transparent layers for an interesting effect or apply thick to canvas and use washes of water.

[@AnneGoggansQHHT]

Thank you Dan

[@twilliams3600]

How would you or do you varish this?

[@DanTirels]

I would use an acrylic spray varnish matte or gloss. Just a couple of light sprays when the work is finished.

[@twilliams3600]

@@DanTirels thank you! Enjoy your work!

[@SensationAwesome]

What is it you've got for the charcoal parts, is that just a soft charcoal stick ? Is is it a big piece of vine charcoal?
Love your stuff,!

[@DanTirels]

I sometimes use black chalk and vine charcoal in various sizes

[@kristinacousen1346]

Did you gesso canvas before doing this really cool wok

[@DanTirels]

Yes I did at least 2-3 coats to achieve a smooth finish, spray with fixative to finish.

[@mobembo4759]

Hello thank for all your work ...what sort of paper do you use for your draw and monoprint ? Do you have any references ?

[@DanTirels]

Try working on smooth paper or card, always work on heavyweight, at least 200gsm

[@mobembo4759]

@@DanTirels ok thank for your answer

[@gryanamin4563]

If I understand correctly you used acrylic like a water color !

[@DanTirels]

Yes this is water with acrylic, the finished work is fixed with varnish.

[@gryanamin4563]

@@DanTirels Dazzled like every time

[@francesdenike7526]

Do you ever mix water and oil paint?

[@DanTirels]

No, I don't think that would work.

[@ashley-cv9fv]

is that water?? do u varnished it?

[@DanTirels]

Yes I sometimes paint over unfixed charcoal with a little water. Only apply a fixative when the work is finished or if you want to paint over.

[@hoodstockreligiontv]

@@DanTirels Do you use acryl fixative or something for charcoal..or doesn't matter?

[@patrickmcdaniel8123]

Sad.
