What I'm Working On: May 2015 Edition

"Untitled" (In progress) Oil on canvas ©Tabetha Hastings

Here is a sneak preview of my latest painting. This is a slightly cropped version, and still very much in progress. (Not ready for the world to see that nose yet!)

This is the second painting in a series of intimate portraits. I'm compelled by the lines of the human body, as well as the interesting colors and textures of the skin that we're all wrapped up in.

My focus is largely on the female form; I want to express beauty in what is often overlooked. Sensuality above sexuality.

Day 35, 100 Happy Days: Another Soiree Painting

As yet untitled windmill painting. ©Tabetha Hastings

Another day in the studio! This one with a group, thanks to Paint Club. And it was a great group - three newbies showed up and lost in the paint and conversation.

Since I have trouble working on my own paintings (the more detailed, in-depth paintings that I paint to sell) when there are other people around, I decided to create another painting to teach. My goal is to create two new paintings a month for my classes, and I've already hit that goal for January - not bad!

I think this painting will be a tricky one to teach (with all those straight lines), but it's definitely doable. And it's one of those paintings that students will feel really good about completing.
