New Painting

Starting on a new painting. Have had this painting in my head for a good while and happy to finally get starting on it. 

Bird painting progression 
I got a little carried away with painting this bird as it is only a small portion of the actual painting it is for, but I was enjoying it and thought it would make a nice little painting itself ^_^



The above painting is intended to be a painting on a traditional Japanese sliding door (Fusuma) which will be in the background of the painting.
Sketch of the full painting.
Above is the initial sketch I did for this painting with the progress of the bird thrown in for a quick idea of how things are going to fit together.

Working my way through the details

Halfway finished the kimono
Quarter of Kimono left to paint
