This course introduces the basics of texturing. Students receive guidance on the choice of brushes, the use of color and the rhythm of the text, as well as challenges related to composition. The main emphasis in practical exercises is on brush technique. Please also note that those under 35 years of age receive a 40 percent discount on the price of icon painting courses.

Munkki Gabriel

I am Monk Gabriel, an icon painter and visual artist by profession. In recent years I have worked as a full-time icon painter, researching and delving into the various sub-branches of icon painting. My particular interests include more primitive cultures and the iconography they produced and other forms of visual art. I live and work in Finland and elsewhere in the world.
