Hello, dear friends and colleagues. 

My name is Anthony Gunin, I'm an orthodox priest and iconographer. Welcome to my second icon painting course, which is dedicated to the creation of the icon of the Mother of God "Eleousa"

You will see the whole process of painting from the beginning to the very end and I’ll be with you with my hands and explanations. The whole course lasts a total of about 28 hours and includes 7 thematic lessons that cover transferring the image to the icon board, applying the basic color spots, outlining and shading garments, highlighting them, painting the body parts and the hair, making assist and, at last, titling the image. 

These 7 lessons are divided into 61 parts, approximately 30 minutes each, so if you decide to participate in our classes, be patient and allow enough time for study. If you acquire the course with feedback, I will watch your progress, comment on your works and answer your questions in a secure Telegram chat for two weeks from the start of your studies. I want to warn you, this course requires some experience and basic painting skills from participants. 

So may God help us and let’s go.
