Cali Dykema (My Cat)
9x12, Paint, 2024
I got this idea because my boyfriend and I got a cat and decided I wanted to paint him.
I first painted the whole background and then I started to trace the cat, I then did the closet and the pattern on the wall. I repainted the ground to a light grey and I tried to make it look like tile and added some random colors to it to try and not have it all grey.
The painting means a lot to me because I don't get to see him all the time because he is not at my house but he is a really fun cat.
The most difficult part about my painting was the do fur because I had never painted fur before so it was kinda confusing and hard. The paws were always hard because I didn't know how to get them to look like toes.
It is painted and I honestly don't think I would change much about it because I like the whole thing and I actually think it looks really good.
Cali Dykema "My Truck"
9x12, Paint, 2024
I got this idea because it is my dads and my brothers mud truck and I needed something for them for Christmas so I wanted to do this for them. They really enjoy working on the truck and racing the truck so I thought it was a good idea.
I first painted the background and to trace the truck. Then I started painting the front end of the truck then the middle then the rear end. I did the windshield and then I added small details to the hood and things like that. I last did the mud and tires because those were the hardest to do and I wasn't quite sure what to do.
The painting means a lot to me and my family because we all enjoy going to the races as a family and see our friends and race the truck and won some money.
The hardest part was doing the mud in the air and on the ground because I had to make it look like mud and dust so it was hard to get the texture at the right spot and the mud in the air kinda looks like confetti so that was hard to do to.
It is painted and I wouldn't change much I would only change the mud up in the air because I dont really like how it looks I think it looks like confetti more then mud but I think dont it is that bad. That is the only thing I would change about my painting.
