Saint John the Evangelist Icon: Drawing the face in Icons.This class is a must for those who wish to draw their own icons! The Christ enthroned icon beautifully demonstrates some of the very important principles of sacred geometry inherent in the icon. Christ Enthroned Icon: Sacred Geometry is the subject we cover in this class.We also talk more about color and light in the icons- how iconographic light is different from natural light. Saint George Icon: This class adds more colors to the iconographer's palette, expanding on the basic four colors taught in previous classes.It's important to practice each method as they all come in handy at times! Ideally an iconographer can choose which method to use in the icons they are painting.

The student will learn basic facial proportions and how to use the membrane method for the Holy Face of Christ Icon.
Face of Christ Icon: We are studying the proportions of the face and the membrane method in this class. In this class we are demonstrating the puddle and pull, or play technique and using this to paint our Madonna and Child Icon - the model for this is the Andre Rublev Madonna. Ideally, an iconographer is familiar with both methods and can use them when needed. There are two main approaches to painting Icons- the proplasmos method, and the membrane method. Madonna and Child, the classic Icon of loving tenderness, and the proplasmos method of Icon Painting. There are demonstrations of how to apply this to icon painting and specifically to the Icon of Saint Raphael, Patron Saint of Healing, that we are painting in this class. Continuing with The Archangel Raphael Class, This class builds on Color Mixing 101 by introducing value and tonal scales. We paint the Good Shepherd Icon using the four basic colors. Beginning with the foundations of icon painting in the Good Shepherd Class: This class teaches the Greek Tetrakromatikon method of color mixing. These Icon painting classes are taught in sequence but you can take them in any order you prefer. Each live class is recorded and made available for students for their personal use to review and play back in their own time. Offered live online through Zoom, these icon painting classes teach painting with egg tempera and natural pigments in the Byzantine tradition. This strengthens us spiritually as well as provides a beautiful icon to give or exhibit in our community to benefit many others as well. In these uncertain times, these classes are blessing many people with the ability to focus on God through painting icons. 
The classes teach both how to paint icons and how to engage prayerfully in the practice of icon painting. The aim of this Icon school is to provide solid and foundational teaching in the spiritual discipline of Icon painting (writing).
