gave painting sketches for the adolescent students to work with as part of their Waldorf inspired education.
Her book of painting exercises (long out of print) was one of the first comprehensive compilations of both
Goethe’s and Steiner’s color theories as applied together for the art of painting.
In this series of online sessions for teachers, artists and interested creatives we will explore Boos-Hamburger’s study of color in painting.
This will serve as a solid basis for teachers and artists alike in their professional work, as well as for those
who simply want to enjoy the pleasures of painting in watercolor.
