Genius sacral art.

One of the things these videos are helpful for, not only technical things, but encouragement. I see small things I can change, but also that I'm more or less generally doing the right thing, and that the problems I am having are things I can figure out and deal with just by more practice and experimentation and following suggestions.

Friend Antonis, what a beautiful image of Our Lady you made for us? I'm not fed up with seeing it .... I'm still watching how much the extra camera helps with color mixing .. An enjoyable video that I know I will see several more times. Maybe at some point you stick a cloth on the wall of your house and make us a life-size Hagiography with acrylic or plastic. You are a source of inspiration for me. Well done again.

Lovely. I mix the colours the same way. Straight out of the dry pigment jar. That way i get zero waste. I know iconographers who mix the colour with emulsion in plastic containers. This is good for wall painting, but in icons, one uses such a small amount that the rest of the mixed colour will dry up in the container or start to stink.

Beautiful,so nice,keep it up friend❤️👍😃..

That red might be hematite red or indian red. At least someone else in an iconography video recommended that red as useful, and the pictures look similar. Great video, once again! I'm still learning to draw and impatience to start painting.

It's such a beautiful way to paint the virgin Mary,,,she glows! as she should! Thank you for sharing! I'm interested also in knowing more about the brushes you mention and where they are available in the states.

I love your tutorials and the detail explanation on Iconography. I am working on Platitera and in some areas the color is cracking. Do you have an explanation on why and how can I fix it. thank you

Thank you so much.... I have never used those.... If I'm not mistaken, the great iconographer Fotis Kontoglou wrote in his book 'Ekfrasis' about casein tempera that is not reliable for icon painting.... But not sure...

I did an experiment, following your example, and tried to paint a Feyoum portrait with casein paints. instagram.com/p/CGoUtSTA02j/ I found that the paints did poorly for this purpose. I will stay with egg. Casein dries quickly but the color shifts as you lay it down, and it does not go down smoothly like egg does. Thanks for your feedback and your lovely videos.
