Fabolous painting. Jesus looks powerful and at the same time human.

[@aleksandram1190]

What kind of wood do you use for icons?

[@anthonyanderson2955]

Thank you for these great videos! I've watched them many, many times! When you write that you're using diluted color, are you diluting it with more egg solution or with water?

[@alexbanaga2202]

Very nice video

[@queencleo1151]

Very beautiful iconography!! I really love the subtleness of the features and blending of colours.

[@The10161952]

Beautiful....brings me to tears! I will soon be taking a class in painting icons...can't wait!!

Perfect, especially when combined with the music. Many years ago I began to paint Icons on MDF board for friends and I thought I was doing well until an old chap told me off. Apparently I had been correcting the Originals and making the faces more realistic. As soon as he told me I checked and he was right, in doing what I had, I had made them ugly and taken something away. Mine were just modern looking pictures, not Icons. Thank you Kyrie Kafkaris, I hope the Saints watch over you.
