Wow! I would love to paint an icon. I had a try about 9 years ago, and this might inspire me to try again.

https://schooloftraditionalarts.org/education/short-courses/ This is the link to anyone inspired by this icon who would like to paint one. The school is in Shoreditch, London and their short course vary in length. This icon took a week. The tutors are highly trained professional artists and it is a joy to learn from them. I had an over sixties discount as well, best Stephen

I took a week long course at the King's School of Traditional Arts learning how to paint an icon. As an absolute novice at icon painting my teacher helped me a great deal. The week was an emotional one for a number of reasons and painting this icon was for me a religious experience. I also learned how to work with gold.
