A superb portrait with lots of expression. I especiallly like the shadow and light effect.
Marsha Elliott replied

Thank you, Colin, for your wonderful comments. I’ve been trying to do alot more figure painting – sort of a self inflicted torture in a sense as I struggle with them so.
TREVOR IRWIN

Marsha, This is another wonderful Painting of this precious child. I will never forget the simple faith that these suffering children have in God. The original photo was taken in Ungwa/Fadda Village in remote Nigeria.

thank you so Much my dear friend and Sister in The family of God, for your heartfelt prayers and donation of your time and art to Philadelphia Mission. I am so blessed to have you as my friend and a friend to these children. God Bless you and all to purchase these paintings.

Well worth the struggle Marsha..a really beautiful portrait !!!!
Marsha Elliott replied

Thank you, Katy. It’s so easy to overwork a watercolor resulting in muddy colors – therein lies one of the struggles. The other struggle is trying to capture the spirit of the person (or animal) being painted.

You did a fantastic job with the fabrics in this piece as well as the highlights in the face. Very nice!

Marsha, I think you’re handling the darker flesh tones beautifully. I also like the different fabrics and the way you’re painting them as well. Very nice piece with of course a very special message attached.

Marsha, your latest works on these portraits is outstanding, and I hope you have many sales from them to help the mission.

Darker flesh tones are not easy in watercolour and you have managed to paint them beautifully….
Marsha Elliott replied

Thank you very much – quite a compliment from one who does watercolor portraiture so beautifully. I use alot of alizerin red, , yellow ochre, burnt sienna & some burnt umber to get these dark tones. Sometimes a little cobalt blue is thrown in. It’s all been trial & error. To be quite honest, these darker tones for me have been much easier than the light skin tones. The lighter ones either turn out too pink or too orangey.
