Description

The creative, healing power of color affects us profoundly. Colour Dynamics reveals the essence of each color, renewing your ability to see the world afresh. This leads to painting from the heart of each color. You can feel with Paul Klee who said, "Color has me, color and I are one. I am a painter."

Angela Lord invites you to deepen your grasp of color with:

-- handy tips on materials and painting skills
-- exercises for transforming your color experience
-- inspiring themes for painting exercises, including rainbows, trees, flowers, landscapes and the four seasons
-- striking experiments and painting ideas using after images, complementary colors, color circles, color enhancement, color perspective and composition for creating visual impact
-- clarifying your own color insights using Goethe and Rudolf Steiner's color theories

The author invites readers to develop their own color insights with materials and techniques, exploring colors, painting rainbows, color clashes, complementary colors, after-images, painting the color circle and complementary colors, enhancing colors, a new color circle, the interplay of light and dark, sunrise and sunset, color dynamics and composition, an overview of cooler through history, watercolor painting and the Steiner Waldorf curriculum, resources, glossary and references.

This is a useful resource for beginners, art students, painters, Waldorf teachers, art therapists, architects and interior designers. Steiner Waldorf teachers will find Colour Dynamics an up-to-date tried-and-tested educational resource.

Critical Reviews
