Zoë Cohen – Intuitive Color Mixing: Developing a Personalized Palette (Online Class Recording)

Date recorded: Friday, September 22, 2023
Medium: Mixed media

Creating a customized palette can have a big impact on your work. In this hour-and-a-half demonstration, Zoë Cohen shares her method for keeping records of color mixing experiments. Mixing neutrals, tints & shades, desaturating colors and the importance of value will be covered, all with an eye toward developing an individualized color palette. We’ll conclude with a brief look into the fascinating surprises color delivers through the work of Josef Albers from his book, Interaction of Colors. (There will be time for Q & A after presentation.)

Born in Chicago in 1961, Zoë Cohen was strongly affected by the classic graphic influences of a mid-century urban environment. Everyday exposure to modern architecture, photography, painting, sculpture and minimalist 1960’s design made a deep impression. Zoë’s abstract painting springs from her lifelong fascination with mid-century modern art and design, Abstract Expressionism and The New York School painters. She continues to be inspired by contemporary artists of all kinds. History, art history, social history, illustration, literature, theater, music, dance, photography, and film all inform her work. www.zcohenstudio.com
