Egg tempera Icon Painting Workshop
with Mary Jane MillerAnyone can Paint an Icon. Ironically less experience is always better; it is difficult to unlearn what we have learned. Whether it is theology or another painting technique, making room for new awareness is innocence. Mixing dirt and mystery is definitely uplifting, every brush stroke reminds you of the moment in Genesis where breath and creation meet. New Beginnings where anything can happen!
This email is a reminder to sign up, I am only taking 6 students at a time. We gather to explore egg tempera and meditation, we are usually a lively group of deep thinkers combined with some laughter.
In the Studio in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
The studio is air conditioned so this year we will be cool!
Monday thru Friday, 3 hours each morning short break 3 hours each afternoon.We begin at 9 am and end each day at 3 pm
The cost is 360.00 USDThe group will get an introduction to Byzantine style traditional icon painting. The medium is egg tempera and our conversations and focus is offered in a contemporary format. Students are led through the preparation of the icon, tracing the historical image and its theological basis, using egg emulsion, earth pigments, and gold leaf application. The group has lively and insightful discussion about God, why we are here and the glory of earth pigments. We cover the symbolism and prayer embedded in this ancient tradition. Everyone will finish one icon.
