alice sees the white rabbit painting progress 1

Been painting most of the day and got enough done to post some progress. As you can see the sketch on the canvas is very rough but once detail is added in the painting comes to life. I still need to do some more detail on the face and the hair needs polished and finished on alice. Overall pleased with todays progress.

Hope everyone enjoys seeing my Alice in Wonderland paintings!

Alice in Wonderland sketches for painting 1

Here are some sketches of my next painting in the works. If you haven't heard already the theme for my show at the Gillioz in Springfield, MO in November is going to be Alice in Wonderland. I can't wait to have my paintings displayed in such a wonderful building. The plan is to have 20 to 25 paintings done by November. Alice in Wonderland has so many interesting characters and themes. The scene in which I'm currently sketching is where Alice first sees the white rabbit. Once I sketch it on the canvas there will be more detail. I'm basing the character of Alice off of actress Emily Browning who has been in movies such as the Uninvited and Lemony Snicket.
