Sharminah by Ruthtamar in Auckland

In this acrylic portrait painting, earthy tones take center stage, infusing the artwork with a warm and grounded atmosphere. The canvas comes alive with shades reminiscent of nature's palette: rich browns, warm terracottas, subtle beiges, and deep ochres. These tones lend a sense of authenticity and connection to the subject, creating a portrait that feels rooted in the earth itself. Shadows and highlights are delicately balanced to capture the play of light, adding depth and dimension to the composition. With each brushstroke, the portrait emerges as a timeless homage to the beauty and strength found in the natural world.
