Kathakali is an a folk dance which originated the south Indian state of Kerala. The song-dance-act performance is made unique by the colorful makeup and interesting costume worn by (predominantly male) dancers.
I did this oil painting of a Kathakali dancer over a course of few days. Painting the details of the costume was a challenge, although a pleasant one!
