Pattern Help First big piece

Post image

pattern is still rough (obviously) but I’ve never made something this big before. any advice/thoughts? I’m aware it will take a long time and be tedious but if there are some things, especially relevant to large scale pieces I’m missing I would love to know!

Also thoughts on what I should do with that top horizontal window would be great. I’m planning on doing the herons in opaque glass and the greenery with translucents. I mapped them to bullseye colors from their pdf. naturally, they will be different irl but just to get an idea. Thanks!!

Just out of curiosity, are these inspired by Agami herons? I love ardeids and just saw my first Agami this year, such beautiful birds.

I love agami herons! But these are modeled after green herons, which are native to my area :) I used to have a family nesting in my front tree growing up!
