Monoprinting with oil paint on paper

#monoprinting #dantirels #oil_paint

Thought that I would end this months videos with a large scale monoprint, it's a technique that does work well with these compositions but it's easy to get carried away with the process and the artwork can suffer from being overworked and a little cluttered, deciding when to stop is essential and I found with this particular piece that leaving it for 24 hours before I finished the final stages really did help. My dog Buzz appears half way through this video and at this point I took a break to take him for his walk, returning after a couple of hours to continue with the monoprint. It's good to film these large works and I hope you enjoyed this demo and that it might inspire you to try this technique for yourself.


The videos will now be every Monday and Thursday, they will premier at 3pm (GMT)

Most of the artwork shown will be available to buy from my website at the end of each month.

Thank you all so very much for your support and I hope you will enjoy the new videos. I will be repeating some old exercises but there will be lots of new content in future. I would also be interested in any Ideas you may have that you would like me to film.

Materials:

250gsm mixedmediapaper suitable for oil paint.

Oil paint colours Cadmium Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Red, Prussian Blue and Vandyke Brown.

thin plastic sheets for paint transfer, cocktail stick, blunt pencil, newspaper.

This does get messy so I really recommend wearing gloves if you can.
