Know Thyself: A Colored Perspective in Watercolor Painting and Pastels

with Iris Sullivan

From the spirit to the earth we color our experiences with our personal colored viewpoint. This is our temperament in the early years. Our likes and dislikes also color our relationships. Yet our full human experience needs to encompass the whole rainbow if our life on earth is to become more fully capable of meeting our destiny and relationships with an open heart and uncolored by the personal.

Engaging in color is a breathing experience. Through art we can loosen the binds of the physical upon our soul. We can both breathe into our own life more easily, and become empathetic with our fellow human beings.

In this course we will paint pure colored experiences of the four temperamental moods of soul. We will also explore the foundations of the soul through creating colored pastels of the four elements. Finally we will explore the cosmic aspects of the colors of the seasons as a spiritual image of our souls journey.
