3-Day Painting Workshop with Artist Jill Soukup / “Composition & Color: Building Paintings from the Ground Up”
Thursday, September 17 – Saturday, September 19, 2026
9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll move step by step through the process of creating a painting; starting with a strong foundation and building toward color, texture, and expression. We’ll begin with value studies, focusing on simplification and creating a dynamic, solid underlying structure. Shifting into color, we’ll explore color theory and the properties of light and shadow-ranging from the basics to more advanced applications– while experimenting with different approaches to palette, harmony, and mood. Together we’ll troubleshoot and refine your paintings, exploring texture, paint application, and ways to push your work further. Along the way, I’ll share my process through demonstrations and examples, while guiding you to apply concepts such as compositional contracts, simplification, and color relationships. Each student will receive individual attention tailored to their strengths and challenges. The workshop includes short discussions, guided exercises, demos, and critiques, all designed to strengthen your technical skills while encouraging intention and play in your work.
