Underpainting - Alice

I've just started the Alice underpainting. Some fabric, some paint, I'm hunting for just the right collage paper. The Alice painting will be mostly cool colors, so I'm looking for a warm paper to use in the underpainting. And weaving - fabric weaving is in the works. I'm not worried about the details - just laying in the color and getting rid of the blank white canvas.


Hearts. are the underlying theme running in both the ALICE painting and the RABBIT. I've even made some of the leaves hearts.

If you like hearts, check out this blog:
