Art Students League of Denver hosts artist Jill Soukup's Color Theory Class

Today was a fun and informational kind of  day, we got the chance to watch fine artist Jill Soukup as she explained her process pertaining to beginning a new work of art in oil on canvas panel.
Her instruction has been over 7 weeks, as we went through all of the elements characteristic of color with emphasis on Chroma, Hue, Intensity, Value, Temperature and the color wheel color primaries, families, harmonies, contrasts, etc.  It was a great class, one that will assist me as I create art in Breckenridge and host a few workshops myself. Nothing like getting great instruction to be able to myself convey these simple yet important concepts!!

My takeaway from her lessons at the Art Students League of Denver are to always ask yourself "what your intention is?" as you create and progress with a work, as this seems to be a great anchor point to keeping grounded while exploring such things as combining technical skills with a playful joyful approach to the painting.  At the same time!!  No wonder I'm super tired at the end of a painting day, so much to think about while at the same time being spontaneous!!
