Nothing But Pictures

"In my world, the books would be nothing but pictures." Alice in Wonderland

A most appropriate present for my dear friend Alice. An enchantingly serene and simple little piece, drawn to mimic an old black and white illustration from the classic storybook. Only its color hints at the imaginative fairytale that is Alice in Wonderland. Attired for adventure from her signature bright blue frock to the coral pink piping along her petite pinafore. Snapshots from the project: {1} Sketching {2} The completed ink drawing {3} Adding color with acrylics {4} The finished piece within creamy matting {5} The completed present, finished and framed - I do think she'll love it!
