This retreat will explore the meanings and roles of angels in Icons. We will be painting a beautiful angel Icon using egg tempera and gold leaf gilding for this class. This class welcomes both beginners and more advanced students. We will also do some drawing of the features of the face to help Icon students with understanding iconographic facial features. If you have taken class with Christine before, you may contact her about painting an Icon of your choice.
