I have arranged my trip to England from 15 – 23 of June for the show built up. Unfortunately i can’t stay longer and engoy vacation at UK because of family obligations. My Godfather has invited me to stay at his home. It is great to visit London and see they way of life of my Godfathers family here.
I am working on the ten iconographies. After gold gilding the phase of painting the proplasmos – first layer of paint for Saints clothes and skin is difficult for a beginner. After the finish of the digital icon i realized that the work for traditional iconography wouldn’t be easy. Painting Saints clothes must be done carefully with the right selection of pigments in order to transmit the humble spirit of Byzantine art. I was using umber a lot for making the colors look humble, an instruction that i have taken from Photios Kontoglou “Ekfrasis”.
I have to concentrate on the Unit 3
