With Marek CzarneckiWe learn iconography by faithfully copying historical Eastern Orthodox prototypes. The most important part of any icon is the face; in this workshop, will focus on a bust-length icon of St Mary Magdalene. We will study how the real anatomy of the human face is opened in the language of the icon, using light to reveal form in the space of inverse perspective.
All materials necessary to create an icon will be supplied, including board, prototype, pigments and brushes. A supplier’s list and suggested reading is available but is not necessary for the course.
Students will experience a sacred iconographer’s studio space, while learning movement drawing and template techniques, hand point, paintbrush mechanics, best practices and safety in the studio, tempering paint for egg tempera, and adhesions for gold leaf applications. Wood panels and substrate preparations will be discussed.
This week-long workshop’s studio time lasts five consecutive days and begins Sunday night at 5:30 pm with a dinner for students and instructors. Dinner is followed by a workshop introduction and conference which ends at 9:00 pm. Hands-on instruction begins early Monday morning. The entire workshop ends Friday at 1 PM.
