Advanced Icon Painting Course: Free Subject 3/2027

The course is suitable for those with basic icon painting skills and those who have already painted a few icons, as well as more advanced painters. The subject to be painted on the course is chosen according to the painter's initial skill level and is painted using the traditional egg tempera technique on a pre-primed icon board. If desired, the background or halo of the icon can be gilded, and it is also possible to learn the use of assist gilding, for example, for ray highlighting on clothes or wings. We will jointly go through the content and theology of the chosen icon themes during the course. Supplies and material replenishment can be purchased from the academy. Course instruction begins on March 5th; accommodation for the previous night is included in the course price, any meals on March 4th are paid at Trapesaan at normal prices.
