Rudolf Steiner’s colour theory is one of our most popular topics at the center. Working with colour is easy. A lot of people feel “threatened” by the challenges involved in developing drawing skills, but colour, and working creatively with colour is accessible and fun for everyone. Creative work with color is actually guaranteed to increase everyone’s artistic sensibilities and capabilities.
You can learn the basics of Steiner colour theory in one 3-hour class. Many people start with one class and go on to take a short course of 3 classes, that is, 9 hours. Some people get very interested and take longer courses.
We have a good many clients who have been painting and/or designing for years, but have never actually studied any of the theories that underpin the creative and artistic use of colour. They invariably gain artistic strength and increased effectiveness by doing so.
