SUMMARY:The Essence of Anthroposophic Art: Veiling the Colours
DESCRIPTION:A Painted Space Studio workshop\n  \nIf I delve deeper into the characters of the different colours\, they show me their dynamic qualities. Out my experience\, I can then let the colours guide me. \n  \nBeppe Assenza \n  \nThis course introduces the iconic veil painting technique so closely identified with Rudolf Steiner’s artistic approach. \nWe delve into the language of colour using transparent surfaces of liquid colour in free compositions inspired by Beppe Assenza’s playful but meditative approach to painting. \nThis is the preferred technique of any anthroposophic painting training. It is not an easy skill to develop but very satisfying to master. \nRudolf Steiner developed this technique as a way of of interfacing with the spirit through painting.  \nYou can read more about the anthroposophic approach and why we prefer watercolour over acrylics and oils in this short article. \nWho is it for? \n\nFor anyone interested in learning the veiling (wet-on-dry) watercolour technique.\nFor artists\, art therapists and Steiner (Waldorf) teachers who want to deepen their understanding of colour (PD certificates available).\n\nWhen is it? \n3.00 pm-5.00 pm AEDT\, Saturdays\, 28 February-25 April 2026\nFive fortnightly sessions plus video recording \nCost \n$240 AUD\n$250 for PD certificate (75% attendance and participation required)\nVideo recordings included in the fee\, available for private study.\nThe payment options\, Zoom link\, and a list of materials will be sent to you after booking. \n\nBOOK HERE\n \n\n  \nFor more information \nThis course is a core component of Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul. It is preceded by the introductory workshop\, Working with Colour\, Out of Colour. Together\, they provide a sound foundation in the anthroposophic (Steiner) approach to colour and painting. \n  \nContact \n  \nFeature image: New Life Emerges © Fiona Campbell 2010\n

SUMMARY:Surfaces as Interfaces to the Spirit
DESCRIPTION:  \n“…when we apply the lifeless paint to a surface\,\n we must get the light behind the surface. We must spiritualise\nthe surface and create a secret inner radiance.” \nRudolf Steiner \n  \nThis course explores the nature of painting as a coming-into-being experience that has the capacity to open our souls to the life of the cosmos. \nOne key difference between most modern art schools and the approach offered by Rudolf Steiner is that we make a clear distinction between drawing and painting\, between the qualities of the line and those of the surface. \nWhy is this so? What difference can it make to paint with surfaces rather than with lines? And what does this even mean? \nPainting is a two-dimensional art of coloured surfaces. If we work consciously with this thought\, work actively with this understanding\, our whole relationship to how we paint (as opposed to what we paint) is changed and transformed. \nWorking with transparent surfaces creates an interface to our inner world\, which in turn leads us to the threshold of our inner being – and beyond. In fact\, Steiner states that artists\, especially painters\, are already working at the threshold of consciousness. \nBut care must be taken! If we open ourselves too much to the spiritual world\, then we may be in danger of losing ourselves to it. Meditative verses can help us here\, so we will also work with appropriate meditations during the course. \nWho is it for? \n\nFor artists\, art therapists and art students seeking a path of soul/spiritual development through the arts.\nFor advanced participants of Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul.\n\nRequired: watercolour wet-on-dry or veiling skills. This is not a demonstrated course so you must feel comfortable with your painting technique. \nDesirable: Working with Colour Moods or equivalent experience of working with watercolour painting. \nWhen is it? \nSaturdays 3pm-5pm AEDT\n7 March – 2 May 2026\nFortnightly classes plus recording \nCost \n$260 AUD\n$270 for PD certificate\nVideo recordings and other resources included in the fee. The payment options\, Zoom link\, and list of materials will be sent after booking. \n \n\nBook here!\n\n  \nFor more information \nThis course also a core component of Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul. It follows on from Working with Colour Moods. \n\nContact\n\n \nBackground reading \nA Contemplation on Surfaces as Interfaces to the Spirit\, a lecture by Fiona Campbell\n‘The Phenomenon of Colour in Material Nature’\, In Colour GA 291 by Rudolf Steiner \n  \nFeature image: Musical Improvisation  © Fiona Campbell 2010
