Alister Dippner

Alister Dippner is one of my favourite artist's he does large scale paintings which a lot of them are for album covers for his friends band - Ghost Town. He uses a variety of paint, such as; Golden fluid acrylics, Liquidex, Nova colour acrylics, system 3, ink. He mixes up different shades of grey and stores them in little plastic tube bottle thing's labelling them with percentages, he uses them under paintings for shading before applying colour.

 

"Out Alive"

 

 

"Wanderlust"

 

"Loner"

 

"Mother of Dragons"

 

"Kylo Ren forest"

 

I love Alister's work for the imaginative use of colour and the way he draw's and how unique it really is, it's very cartoon - like yet real at the same time. His work inspires me to better my own work to his level maybe even higher. He does speed paintings on YouTube which are basically videos of him painting one of these but sped up and that fills me with the inspiration and motivation to do something like it.
