In short: Our goal is to teach how to work, rather then to help our students execute lots of lovely details on their icons. As a special note we have to mention, that at this workshop we will do our best to start and finish the icon, but we can not promise this to everyone. It fits both advanced students and novices, who from the very beginning of their path may gain a professional approach and save time and energy learning visual grammar instead of patterns. We believe that a thoughtful approach to drawing and painting will give our students new opportunities for their future work - the freedom to choose other models for their icons apart from those that are well known, including those which previously may have seemed totally alien.Īnd, if after this workshop our students will still want to trace a linear drawing, we are sure they will understand the construction and forms of the image much better. the position of the figures), to learn how to see the original concept through the gains and losses of each image, and also assess the integrity of those images through the remaining small sections and restorations. In addition to the current model, we will work from several other images with similar iconography (i.e. In the beginning, we will draw both types of faces, then study the options for the best composition to suit the proportions of our boards, and also consider the colors required to render the chosen composition. To avoid the effect of such copying, we always dedicate the first days of our workshops to studies of drawing options. This is because the actual method of drawing volume, and rendering it through the painting process, was an integral part of the visual language used by our medieval colleagues and, to make our images work today we need to take this into account. In this context, considering the current tradition of teaching iconography, we believe that even the most careful copying will never allow us to understand and transmit the power of the model through a copy. This particular image was painted in the middle of 16th century after an earlier icon of the same type - a reduced version of "Our Lady of Vladimir" (Vladimirskaya) icon, and adjusted for a smaller size board for personal devotion. The icon "Our Lady of Igor" (Igorevskaya) currently belongs to the collection of the Tretiakov Gallery in Moscow. We hope that this will be a great opportunity for our students to learn how to work with the two faces together, and how to find the best place in the composition on the board for these two interacting complex figures. This year, for the first time in our practice, we have decided to use an icon of the Mother of God with the Infant Christ as as our model. ![]() Sign up for our Newsletter to stay updatedĮvery year we choose new images and design new programs for our icon painting workshops. ![]()
