Description
This is a beginner to intermediate course.
If you are interested in painting, if you want to learn how to paint in an historic spiritual style, this is the perfect course. You will have a step by step guidance from a pro and you will learn how to paint icons from scratch, with acrylic paints. This course has video lessons and a pdf file with useful infos.
This course has 4 sections:
In the first section you will find a course presentation, a PDF with all needed materials for the course and a lesson that gives you some infos about the history of byzantine art.
In the second section you will learn how to paint a hand in the byzantine style.
In the third section you will find painting lessons regarding 3 types of clothing used in the iconography painting.
In the last section you will learn how to paint 2 icons from the beginning to the end (an icon of the Virgin Mary and an icon of Jesus Christ).
My choice to paint with acrylic is based on the idea of making icon painting accessible to beginners, because I consider the traditional method (egg with natural pigments) more difficult.
Let's start our spiritual-artistic journey!
