This long term program allows you to summarize all your knowledge and skills painting an icon of Christ Head and Shoulders. There will be two slightly different iconographical types to choose from. Everyone who took “ Drawing Frontal Faces“ and “ Egg Tempera. Faces“ courses are invited.
This program brings together all the knowledge that our students have received earlier and teaches several necessary new skills.
We are going to explain in detail how to paint hair and beard and also how to combine all the details to let them work well together, providing personalized mentoring and comprehensive feedback for every exersize published by a student.
We will walk from planning and working with sketches to painting an icon of Christ. By the end of this program you will have a clear understanding of the method and all stages of professional work.
For everyone who took “Frontal Face“ and “Egg Tempera. Faces“ courses. This program will connect your knowledge of drawing to the process of painting with egg tempera and to show you how to work professionally on an icon.
The program consists of 5 blocks of assignments. Most blocks contain 4 assignments and cost $100 USD (or €94 Euros) each, except for the last one (6 assignments) which costs $150 or €140. Payments are accepted separately for each block.

6.5 months / 4 assignments per month except for December, when we have 2 assignments due to Christmas. Assignments are published weekly. Two extra weeks at the end are allowed to finish the icon. Images are accepted for corrections until April 10, 2025.
Explanations of each topic either in a 20 - 60 min Full HD video tutorial or text (PDF document), reference images. In total there are 9.5 hours of video tutorials.
All materials are shared with students in Google Classroom. All videos remain available after the end of the Course.
Learners are expected to share photographs of their drawings in Google Classroom Stream. Personal feedback from the instructors with their corrections / comments / recommendations is given within 48 hours (weekends excluded). Feedback is guaranteed for the whole period of the course either written in words or/and drawn directly on the uploaded image.
You will only need materials you used on courses “Drawing a Frontal Face” and “Egg Tempera. Faces”. Although I advise you to paint the final image on paper, you can use a gessoed board. I’ll give you all the details about the board size at the end of November.
You will need at least an hour per week for drawing (in September and October) and two-three hours per week for painting (November-February). We are not sure how much time you will spend working on the final project in February-March, because it also depends on you.
