Rich Pellegrino. -Alice-. Edition Size: 25. 16 x 20 Inches Archival Pigment Print on 330gsm Fine Art Paper. $60. "This piece was the first created from this series and inspired the entire body of work of my recent solo show “Resuscitatorum”. I was drawn to the story of Alice in Wonderland story due to it’s light and dark nature. I love the constant undertones of is she or is she not indeed mad, drugged, or if it is all actually real or imagined. The original painting is 24×30 inches and painted with Acryla Gouache on linen. Once I have a rough sketch of the composition that includes a list of everything to be shown in the final I began collecting reference for the piece. Everything from self shot photos to google image searches to dvd stills helped in the early drawing stages. Once I had a solid drawing I projected it onto the support surface for transferring. I use Acyrla Gouache paint diluted with water as a medium. Brushes range from the cheap packs of five synthetics for a few dollars (which turn into the best beat up brushes you can find) to Winsor and Newton series 7
