Swimming in Color

Painting Workshop with Ayzin Uludag

Working with watercolor paints on moist paper allows both the colors and the creative process to be fluid and mobile. This is a supportive activity for the artist, allowing time to dream and swim with the colors before they become settled and fixed into defined shapes.

This wet-on-wet technique was developed by Rudolf Steiner and is used in Waldorf schools and in Anthroposophic artistic therapies to bring life into the experience of colors, freeing them from the material, objective world and allowing the soul of the painter to be nourished by their pure energies. This artistic approach brings a healthy, breathing movement into our inner world, which can become hardened and immobile through all of life’s struggles and challenges. When we are moving the paint, we are also moving ourselves and bringing balance, harmony, interest, and integration.

This workshop is an opportunity to dive into color and benefit from its healing effects. Open to everyone at all levels of experience.

All art materials provided.
Tea, coffee, and snack provided. Please bring your own lunch.
