Dylan Walker "The Paint Brush"
12x9, Painting, 2023
(IDEA) I got the idea by doing my baseline painting and I didn't know what to paint so I decided to paint a paintbrush.
(PROCESS) I first painted the background then I started on the brush which the top part was hard since I didn't have a brown color so I had to mix some colors until I got a brownish color.
(SYMBOLISM & ICONOGRAPHY) There really isn't anything insperational since its a paintbrush
(ARTISTIC GROWTH) As I said before getting the brown part of the brush was hard because I didn't have a brownish color so I had to mix a bunch until I did
(VISUAL VOICE) I Would say this painting is abstract because it is not realistic.
Dylan Walker "Self Portrait"
9x16, Painting, 2023
(IDEA) I got this Idea from the 4 ideas we got to choose from. So I did self-identity and put the Nascar Race cars at the top since I love Nascar and have been a fan for 8 years
(PROCESS) I first painted the background then I painted myself and the tracks and the cars.
(SYMBOLISM & ICONOGRAPHY) This symbolisim I guess would be, be yourself
(ARTISTIC GROWTH) Painting myself was hard because I have never painted a person before and getting my skin color right
(VISUAL VOICE) This painting would not be realistic but abstract because it looks cartoonish
