Color and Light in the Icon
Led By: Christine Hales
Suggested Donation: $610
Tuesday, 16 July – Friday, 19 July 2019
This is a great retreat if you want to understand the Byzantium color mixing system and be able to apply that to mixing your own colors. We will write an Icon of Christ for this retreat. If you have a different Icon you’d like to paint, email Christine with the image and you can work together before the class to make that possible.
You will learn more detailed information about Icon writing History, color theory, and have a slide show comparing religious painting vs Icon writing as a way of understanding the difference in your own Iconography.
Costs include Tuition, materials, and room and meals at the Monastery.
