About this tour
This call goes deeper into Paul Klee's technique than a single visit usually allows, using shared images rather than a live walk. Priska explains how Klee built up colour in layers before adding his characteristic thin lines, then spends real time on one painting read closely. It suits anyone who wants depth over breadth.
The call opens with a quick check of the shared screen, then moves through a small set of images at an unhurried pace. Priska answers questions throughout and sends a short list of the works discussed afterward.
This suits returning viewers who have already seen the museum session and want more detail. It also works for anyone who prefers a seated conversation to a filmed walk.

- A 45-minute call with a local guide
