Thank you very much. I liked this work very much and it is inspiring.
You are very welcome
Very satisfying to watch, and a fantastic result. There's no denying you've certainly developed your own distinctive style over the years - most painters don't. I'd recognize your work anywhere Dan. Many thanks 👍
Thank you very much!
Paint and charcoal- simple materials but what an impact. Thank you for posting this.
Glad you enjoyed it
This piece reminds me of something by the Old Masters of figures in discussion...although updated in your expressive style. I love the finished piece with its rich colour and complexity of line. Bravo and thank you!
Wow, thank you!
I really enjoyed the freedom you expressed in your mark making, such beautiful energy!
Thank you so much!
Ah, my favorite combo-paint & charcoal. Well done, Dan, as always. First time I watched this video I was distracted so watched again. So glad I did.
Awesome! Thank you! I do like working on these, in fact I am going to try and film one of these every week. I have no idea of the outcome so what you see is just a slightly edited version of how I work.
As ever, fun to watch and an inspiration to others. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
So interesting to see you do something 'deliberately' :) -- I'm accustomed to watching (and being inspired by) how you incorporate randomness -- this is wonderful too!
This one is a mixture of planning and randomness ! I sometimes like to begin with a rough drawing to fill the space and I usually decide the choice of colours before I begin, what follows is then sometimes let to intuition.
awesome no art pretension just the joy of mark making and painting. cheers. jiu showed my kids this to let them know you just go for it however you feel like it and you can produce beautiful stuff.
That is such a good idea, there is no right or wrong way to produce art, if you enjoy the process then it's a good result. Have fun.
Really inspiring! I love charcoal, this was great
Thanks so much! This is a really great technique to experiment with.
Interesting
Ooooo. I mean, how satisfying was that snap? 9:20 and on, with that charcoal. Mmmmm. Beautiful to watch and listen to.
Your work makes me feel funny, though; perhaps it's some of the shapes. Some are very moving, and make me go all Freudian.
LOL! 😍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching, I have a new microphone so maybe that helps.
This reminds me of very old renaissance compositions of the nativity. Really clever that whichever way you have the picture, it shows the same subject. Beautiful simple colour palate. Thank you
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video, I appreciate your positive comment.
Beautiful!
Me gusta el abstracto , quedó súper
Gracias por compartir , Dios te bendice y te acompaña
Muchas gracias por tu amable y positivo comentario. Me alegra que hayas disfrutado viendo este video.
phantastic....:)
Inspiring as always. May I ask what kind of finishing to apply on a piece with these kinds of materials? What products would you recommend? What would be a compatible and efficient finishing for both Charcoal and Acrylic?
I always love your videos, what charcoal sticks do you use I couldn't see witch brand it was when you showed them?
Try willow charcoal or vine charcoal, pencil charcoal and black chalk are also good.
@@DanTirels thank you so much
How do you decide what marks you will make? Do you start with an idea in mind, or do you just start and see where you go?
I plan the colour pallet and a rough composition, but a lot of this is created by intuition.
Bravo
I like this work. How do you prevent the paper from creasing?
Always use a heavyweight paper (200gsm) when working with water based paints, it does still warp slightly but can be flattened by placing under weights for a while.
At a point in the not-too-distant future, I hope there's an opportunity where I can have a Tirels hanging in my home.
Thanks very much, I appreciate the compliment.

Love your work. What inspires you?
Good question! I actually think that the simple act of creativity inspires me, making marks on paper with a piece of charcoal is such a satisfying process and I would always encourage anyone to give this a try.
Hi great work...just waana know how come the charcoal lines are so intact...when I tried it gets diluted.... kindly guide
You need to spray with a fixative as you work or try hairspray. Use an acrylic varnish spray when finished.
Can you say what kind of paper you used??? Appreciate this video as always.
He says it in the description of the video. 200gsm cartridge paper.
NowI'mMe thank you so much...
Sorry for the late response to this, but as already been said a good quality heavy weight cartridge paper (200gsm) was used for this, you could try one of the mixed media papers that are available. I used a lot of water on this one so it needs to be able to stand up to that.
Hi Dan, great to watch and see this grow into something surprising, interesting. I was wondering if your initial charcoal drawing here was from an example or just emerging.
Thx!
This piece was improvised and it really is a good way to create ideas and get rid of those artistic blocks that you can sometimes struggle with. I will show how you can use this same technique when working on a portrait or landscape. The only planning I did for this one was the choice of colours used.
Dan Tirels Yes! That would be great if you can show the same approach, using a thema like landscape or portrait. There is a rythm or balance in your charcoal lines, that is what makes it so strong.
also what type paints are useing ?
This is acrylic paint
@@DanTirels awesome ty
Will you be selling this piece or keeping it?
Not decided yet but I may have a sale of some of my CZcams artwork.
@@DanTirels That would be nice.
