Sabina Hahn's Faves

Tucker Mandarin is very happy with his portrait! :-)

Teaching painting is a great task to ask of a person who doesn't paint. I do not paint. I teach the manipulation of media through experience. "Learn from doing!" I say. Monochromatic pastel exercises help my students to get a handle on the media. We explore value and composition and the handling of media. Sometimes happy accidents occur. This was my example to the teens on composition and value. It is a journey.

My little urban sketch on the terrace.

Exploring how line creates shape and illusion.

I took a course on imprimatur/underpainting and enjoyed the effect. I'm just working on adapting traditional skills to digital skills in Reblle.

An older piece, which was where I was left off with full coloured dark backgrounds.
