The Fine Art of Dean Walker
Dean Walker has always had a fascination with wildlife and the artists that portray them so beautifully.
Dean was inspired to paint by well-known names such as David Sheppard, Daniel Smith and Carl Brenders. Building on the natural talent he discovered he had, he learnt to paint using oils and acrylics. This, Dean says, proved a “massive challenge” but one he met head on, even overcoming a slight problem of colour blindness in the process.
In 1999 Dean was awarded a certificate of merit as a finalist in the ‘Paint a Wildlife Subject’ competition, run by internationally-acclaimed artist Roy Chaffin.
With no formal training Dean is entirely self-taught, relying only on observation and a willingness to learn and develop his own style.
Whilst wildlife is his main subject, Dean also paints landscapes, sporting scenes and portraits. He still uses both acrylic and oils and, on occasions, combines the two for a mixed media effect. Pet Portraits, Human Portraits & Landscape Paintings are still very popular choices. As he embarks on his journey towards full time professional painting Dean invites friends, old and new, to join him on his adventure.
As a result of his work he hopes to make regular contributions to wildlife charities to support and protect endangered species.
