XL silk scarf in red and gold - the Firebird Wings

One of my biggest and boldest creations: the Firebird feathers creating pattern of wings I call Firebird's. Let me show you in a few steps how it was painted!

In March I have designed and then painted the Firebird Wings.

You can see all the colors used, the scarf was to big for me to keep paints on the table.

Painting the outline - red and burgundy contours

Recently, I decided to add outlines to the design, to make the feathers pop!

So, what do you think? I do prefer the scarf with outlines painted! It took a few days to paint but I think it's totally worth the work!
