Creating a limited edition print using a stencil
Shipwrecks on the Marshes (edition of 30)
Details to follow
30 FREE MONOPRINT GIVEAWAY
I'm creating this limited edition print as a thank you for all the support for this channel, all 30 prints will be given away FREE to mark the milestone of achieving 30,000 subscribers for the channel. The prints will be made available from my website at a time/day yet to be decided. I want as many as possible to be able to acquire one of these prints so need to find a time that will suit the various time zones.
In this video you can see me begin to create the monoprints, these first ones turned out a little too dark but they improved as I experimented with the composition. I will post updates and photographs as I complete all 30 monoprints, see my various social media posts and updates on the community page.
Monoprinting booklet is now back in print and available from the website.

This video demonstrates what I love about printmaking - even though you have used the same materials for each one , they all have their own "personalities". Thank you for continuing to teach us all.
Glad you enjoyed it! I really like how this one developed, although the prints you see me work on in the video seemed a little too dark, as I worked on more of this series they became much more like the idea that I had in mind.
Low tech, but brilliant! Really really nice!🌿
Thank you! 😊
Brilliant as always. They remind me of the wrecks off of & near the place I grew up in - a fishing town called Whitby in North Yorkshire - and in a strange kind of way, looking at these fantastic prints I find myself yearning to go back there..... Thanks as always for posting Dan ;-)
Thanks, there must be many of these ships graveyards around the coast of the UK , I think the ones here are old fishing trawlers from the 1960's It is a very atmospheric place and not always easy to get to, I'm still hoping to film a sequence of creating a series of monoprints from this location, even working from inside one of the old wrecks.
Dear Dan, It is always a pleasure to watch you work. Your process is simple, but inspiring to see all the different monoprints you created. I can smell the saltwater from the sea1
Have a good week1
Best wishes,
Dianna (Southern Maryland, US)
Many thanks! This is a great location to try to capture and I hope these monoprints reflect that, glad you enjoyed this demo.
I didn’t expect to feel so inspired by the progression of the prints. Nicely done!
Thanks very much
Dan Tirels I especially liked #6 ...the marks on top resemble writing like on an old postcard.
Saw this on Facebook. Loved it. So happy to see the TH-cam video. Brilliant as usual. I NEED to go back to the UK. Love, from Canada.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the positive comments.
I think you captured the feeling of desolation caused by war. Wonderful technique will try it thanks.
Thanks very much, hope you get some good results, this is a great technique to experiment with.
Hi Dan! Happy to see you back. I feel "painting" again
Thank you, I hope you have some great results.
Merci pour vos démos. Celle-ci est magnifique. J’adore
Thank you
Hi Dan. I don't use any social media platforms buy my wife Anne showed me your Facebook page. There is some very nice stuff there. The salt marsh photos made me even more determined to go back there this year.
Thanks so much for sharing this video. It was amazing to be able to observe your process. Wonderfully inspiring.
You are so welcome, thanks very much.
You make it lookso easy! Beautiful.
Thank you! 😊 Have a go, it just takes practice.
thanks Dan, gonna try the stencil technique tomorrow ,
Good luck!
I love this technique and the gorgeous results. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I love how the seas got more "stormy"
Although this is a limited edition series of monoprints, I like the unique properties of this process.
I like your work art. I bought all stuff. Thanks a lot🌷
Thanks so much 😊 I hope you get some great results yourself.
Wow Dan, I loved to watch the process, as always! Very nice, although a bit to dark, but that makes it even more spectacular!
Glad you liked it!, although I have to agree the prints did turn out a little dark. Since the filming of this video I have refined the composition and made improvements. Posts can be seen on Facebook.
This is very inspiring to me. (again). I've had a break from printing / painting. I have spent a lot of time reinstalling, rebuilding and repaing computers, for friends. A task I dislike, oh well. I'm hoping to go over to the ships graveyard again soon. I've been unable to find out how far up the marsh the tide comes. Judging by the seaweed left, I think it's right to the bank. I'll play on the safe side, picking a day when the tide table shows the tide's low. After that, I think it will be stencil printing time. I'm toying with the idea of using two colours. Mylar film looks lworth buying too. Thank you Dan.
Hi Gordon, glad you enjoyed this demo. Iv'e been planning to post this one for a while and had hoped to go back to the shipwrecks myself to take some photos and sketch but unfortunately the weather has been horrific and made this difficult. The wrecks are impossible to reach at high tide so I'd check that for your next visit. Its a great location and is often photographed, although at least the trend for filming with drones is over. Try the mylar sheets they are excellent for creating stencils and not too expensive.
Merci Dan , je regarde vos vidéos avec un intérêt considérable Marie de
Thank you Dan. Very ins
Very welcome
Really inspiring and really captured the salt marsh mood
Really excellent
Wo bist Du geblieben ? Viele warten auf Deine tollen Bilder und Anleitungen !!!!! Lange nichts von Dir gehört ! Bitte weitermachen !!🙏
Ich verspreche, dass ich diesen Monat weitere Videos machen werde, ich hoffe, dass sich der Kanal in den nächsten Wochen verbessert. Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung und es ist gut zu wissen, dass Ihnen die Videos gefallen.
@@DanTirels danke, für die ausführliche, schöne Antwort !!! Freue mich auch weitere Videos 🙏🤝🎨👍🏆
Wow - almost looks like a black and white photograph.
Thank you
These are really nice Dan! 👍
Glad you like them!
Fantastic !!!! Thank you . Kind regards - Judi - Australia
Glad you enjoyed it
Conjures up images from Eisenstein's Potemkin. Good stuff!
Another winner(s). Thanks Dan
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
Fantastic! The kind of paintings that make you think, well how did he do that 🤔
Thank you for the tide warning on the salt marshes Dan. As you say, summer has been miserable this year so far. I'm going to buy some mylar sheets thank you.
Check out my Facebook for new shipwreck photos (taken yesterday afternoon)

Um prazer ver o seu trabalho como sempre...!
Muito obrigado
Suberb Dan, From a simple mask you can make several monochrome monoprints. It looks like an engraving in mezzotint technique, minus the black "velvet" side, but it's faster to realize ahahah. I really love this work
Thank you, this is one of those techniques to try and can be helpful for producing unique prints. No complicated or expensive equipment is needed.
You are a wizard, wow :D
Thanks
Dan, you inspire me every day, I've said it before you have had such an effect on all the art I produce, I was lacking in confidence but using your techniques has helped so much, couldn't be more delighted to see you pass the 30k followers mark. Yet another great video my head is already filling up with ideas of prints I'd like to have a go at, Thank you!
Thank you very much for your positive response to this latest demo, It is always good to know that they inspire others to experiment with the techniques and I really enjoy seeing the work that others submit for the gallery on my website. I try with each video to introduce a new idea or experiment with an unfamiliar medium, improvising when I can. Hope you have some success with this one.
U took the words right out of my mouth. I’ve had a similar experience
Incredible!!!
I did NOT think that was going to look any good when you first applied the paint to the stencil. I was very wrong. Nice work!
Glad you liked it! Thank you
I would like to try this video right now, but the ordered Mylar stencil sheet is still on the way. Is there something similar I could use? Maybe Yupo-paper? Or plastic covers? Again I am looking forward to create something new. Thank you, Dan, for your inspiration, your time, and your knowledge, which you distribute freely to such a big community.
I know that feeling of waiting for online orders to arrive ! You could try using the cardboard and parcel tape method that I use in some of my other videos, just cover both sides of some card with parcel tape then draw your composition directly onto this before cutting. Hope your Mylar sheets arrive soon.
I use something called "Duralar" which works quite well
You could use thin transparent plastic from packaging?! Ecological too!?
This is so much harder that I thought it would be
Just practice, I don't always get it right but I never film the mistakes.
Merci pour le joli tutot.,
Me encantan tus trabajos...
Love this!
These look fantastic and your tutorials are so inspiring! Thank you so much! Can I ask how long they take to dry?
Because the layers of paint are very thin, the prints in this demo are dry in about 30 minutes, I use the fast drying oils for these but even with regular oil paints they will dry after a day or 2.
Magnifique!
GREAT
these are just fabulous. but how can they be monoprints, as an edition, when each one is different? The stencil is the same, but they are all uniqely different, so, are they not technically monotypes? sorry to be pedantic, i just get myself confused with the terms. The work is so deeply engaging, and inspiring.
Sometimes I describe them as monoprints so they can be found by the TH-cam search engine., otherwise it can get confusing.
Thank you Dan for another inspiring/informative tutorial. Your techniques have encouraged me to try something different and I love the process.
Great to hear! Thank you for your positive comments.
You inspire me every time! Are you still leaving rocks about?😍
I have not filmed one of those videos for a while but I think it is long overdue and I will try and create some pieces that I can leave within the landscape.
cool!!
This is so cool! I love ur work and style. Can i use other stiff plastic apart from mylar or is mylar special? (i like to reuse plastic whenever i can)
Yes you can! I recommend experimenting. Use plastic packaging.
Hey Dan, can you recommend a good permanent block printing ink? All the speedball is water soluble. Do I have to use screen printing ink or something oil based?
This monoprint was created with black oil paint spread onto a thin plastic transfer sheet. I have been looking for an oil based block printing ink but have not found anything suitable yet.
This IS printing ink right? Or is it acrylic paint? Or oil?
This is black oil paint.
@@DanTirels ok thanks. I’ve been using block ink, I’ll give oil paint a shot. Maybe i can keep it from bleeding into my ink and watercolor
nice technique dan, hate to be a pain but you cant make a limited edition from a monoprint you can only make one, an edition is multiples that look identical, i look forward to seeing what you do next :)
Although each is unique the composition is the same, its simply described as a multiple limited edition for clarity. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Another question: did you refill the plastic with ink between each monoprint or did you do them all with the same ink charge from the start?
Each work is created individually with fresh paint (not ink) and I sometimes use a fresh sheet of the transfer plastic. You can make 2 stencils so you could work on more than one at a time.
