A course by Hannah Webb
Hannah Webb (or The Obanoth as she’s known online) is an acrylic painter from Ohio, currently living in Los Angeles. She went to art school, and inspired by the desire to learn more, moved to California. There she began painting with oils before changing to acrylic, learning to mix colors and explore shapes. She has since developed her signature style, which is characterized by blocky brush strokes, hard-edge mark-making, and bold color.
Hannah believes the purpose of an artist is to bring their own voice into the world, and she exhibits her work both in the US and internationally. She also sells her paintings to collectors, and works on commissions for brands and companies, including large-scale public murals.
