Natural Approach to Painting with Hand, Head, and Heart

In Waldorf Education around the world, painting plays a crucial role. Wet-on-wet watercolors provide students with a deep and fundamental experience of color. Through painting, young individuals have the chance to express themselves, while also receiving guidance from their teachers.
