THE ICON PAINTING EXPERIENCE

A little about Icons / Icons - Images of the Soul

The word icon comes from the Greek word eikona, which means image. The art of painting icons has its origins in the Byzantine Empire of the sixth and seventh century. With the Christian-orthodox religion the art of icon painting spread into the East. In 1453 the Byzantine Empire was destroyed by the Islamic Turks and many works of art were lost forever. But the icon survived in Crete,

Russia

and the Balkan region. Aside from being a means of religious worship, icons have an old tradition as a collector's object as well. They are used as religious objects being carried around in processions, and kissed by worshippers Our artist/instructor is chosen not only for his skill and stature as artist, but also for his experience and expertise as teacher. He has led our workshops for years. Both watercolour and oil workshops are offered, and some instructors teach in both mediums.
