Fundamentals of Icon Painting. Educational and Methodological Manual

The textbook is intended for icon painters and restorers. It consistently discusses all the features of the image of a figure and face on the icon. The icon -painting drawing is an independent graphic language developed by the Orthodox Church for many centuries for the image of the Lord Jesus Christ, Angels and Saints, as well as the plots of the gospel and biblical history. The attention of students is directed to the features of the icon -painting drawing that distinguish the language of icon painting from academic drawing, the training of which is included in the standard of artistic training.
Like any manual on drawing and painting, it requires the lively participation of the teacher and the independent work of students to master the skills of icon -painting drawing.
