Icon Painting Course: Drawing Heads

DATE: Feb 8-9, 5-7pm Rome Time

2pm Italy time, which is…

Ever got confused about how to get the head in an icon 'just right'? This two day weekend course will be taking an in-depth look into doing just this.

Conducted online over a weekend sessions are scheduled for two hours. Ian will present analysis of the way certain models are drawn, showing the way the Byzantine icon 'distorts' reality. Part of the session will be 'draw along' and there will be time to do so with tutor support. 

This is an excellent opportunity for those who want to start learning how to draw an icon in a Byzantine style as well as for experienced iconographers who want to make substantial improvements. 

You will need paper, tracing paper, compass, ruler, pencil plus a print out of the Seed of Life (which will be sent to you).

Sessions will be live. You will be able to ask questions as we go along, and I may reference material from the Icon Painter's Handbook. Sessions will be recorded and you will have unrestricted access to them. You can also email me for help, and there are opportunities to purchase email critiques of your work and tutorial support too. 

After purchase, you will be contacted by email (PLEASE INCLUDE AN EMAIL WITH YOUR PURCHASE) with log in codes for the Zoom sessions. You don't need to sign up for a Zoom account.
