Instructor:
Fr. Bo Nahachewsky
What will we be writing / painting?
We will all be working on a cropped icon of Our Lord Cricified. Those with iconographic experience may choose to paint the non-cropped version, or if they already did a workshop with Fr. Bo of this particular icon, they may work with Fr. Bo to pick another suitable icon.
What will we be painting with?
Fr. Bo uses traditional Egg Tempra paint, which is an emulsion of egg yolk, water and alcohol. This is mixed with pigments, which are finely ground minerals and other substances. The halos are gilded with 24 karat gold.
Fr. Bo does do most of the process using ancient techniques, but is not opposed to using a few modern methods if they help the participants finish on time and get better results
Who is this for?
This is a retreat for adults who are able and willing to pray and paint for a full week of evenings and all day Saturday. Missing sessions will be difficult to catch up on… but… talk to Fr. Bo if you must miss a little but still want to participate.
Although this program is put on by a Ukrainian Catholic Priest, at a Ukrainian Catholic Parish, this program is for anyone who wishes to participate from any Christian Church tradition.
