Following the application of Goethe’s theory of color and Steiner’s approach to color in art, these workshops are open to all who have an interest in creating a new relationship to color. We will meet two Saturday mornings per month to discuss and test the theories.
Using the color exercises outlined by Hilde Boss-Hamburger, we will paint with the wet-on-wet watercolor technique in order to come to a fuller understanding of the moral effect of color experience in the soul. Open to painters of all levels.
Artists are asked to bring their own brushes. 1” and 1/2” flat watercolor brushes are recommended. Brushes will be available in the bookstore for purchase.
Reproduced copies of The Creative Power of Color by Hilde Boss-Hamburger (out of print) will be available for $35 from the bookstore. Goethe’s Theory of Color ($35) and Rudolf Steiner’s Color Lectures ($24) are also available in our Rudolf Steiner Bookstore.
