Doodle Doodledaeyo | Alice in the Garden 🌼 | Digital Painting

in #doodleon7 years ago

She began by taking the little golden key... and found herself at last in the beautiful garden, among the bright flower-beds and the cool fountains.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll

I'm excited to share my drawing which is also an entry for @opheliafu's doodle doodledaeyo challenge. Draw a picture using the 3 words of the week: Secret, Garden and Key. 🤐💐🗝️

I'm sure a lot of people first thought of A Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson - I did too! Though I love that story, there is another scene from a childhood book I thought of.

Yes, Alice, I'm talking about you!

by John Tenniel
Ahhh, what a genius the author Lewis Carroll was! I love everything about the book, the Disney film and yes, even the live-action adaptations as well.

Also, I cannot explain how much the original illustrations by John Tenniel have influenced my own style of art.

He captured the magic of Caroll's world just through black and white illustrations.

Once I decided on what topic to paint, I knew I had to do the scene where Alice finally enters the garden behind the small locked door. For this, she uses a golden key. That's when "Garden, Key and Secret" are all together.

Btw, isn't a tiny locked door behind a curtain, reached only through an impossibly long fall down a rabbit hole the most secret thing you've ever heard of?

Before gaining access to said garden, she experiences a few mishaps and misadventures. I remember feeling so frustrated reading about the impossible obstacles Alice had to face, so it was totally satisfying to draw this! Honestly... that door... ugh. 🙄

That's it for now, I have to be off. I'm late for a very important date!
