A masterclass series in painting out of the indications of Rudolf Steiner

When asked if he would renew the art of painting out of spiritual-scientific insights, as he did with eurythmy for the art of dance, Rudolf Steiner gave nine “Nature Mood” sketches saying, ‘Try starting like this…’  and created a series of training sketches for the artists. 

This online masterclass with artist, author and educator Van James will follow up on The Art and Individuality of Color: Rudolf Steiner’s Color Theory and his Painting Indications for Artists, and go deeper into these colour indications by taking up the nine training sketches as a starting point for a renewed art of painting. 

Who is it for?

Art students, Teachers, Therapists, Artists and anyone interested in Art and especially Rudolf Steiner’s impulse in Art. It is recommended, but not necessary, to have taken the previous course and beginners are welcome. Six, one-and-a-half-hour sessions will include illustrated lectures, demonstrations, studio art sittings and question and answer periods. Sessions will occur every other weekend in order that participants may have sufficient time to complete the watercolour painting exercises.

“If we were to speak more deeply of painting, the significance of the connection between the inner soul-life of the universe and colour would reveal itself. It would be meaningless ever to paint with colours, if colours were not something very different from what they appear to be to outer physical perception… Colour is the language of nature’s soul, the speech of the soul of the universe.”

^{Rudolf Steiner}
