[REPOST] Easter Art Special
Learning from the masters of icon art
Happy Easter, Friends!
The usual Sunday night livestream/podcast schedule is suspended for Easter. In lieu, please enjoy a piece I made on Good Friday 2024. It is based on the Byzantine Icon style. Specifically, I used the below icon as my reference.
I’ve studied this style a little before and each time I do I learn a lot!
Here is my version.
I didn’t include the writing and symbols because I didn’t know their meaning. I enjoyed spending the day drawing and listening to Gregorian chant.
Here is a short video showing how I made this piece. I used excerpts from my CALMstreams and added voiceover narration.
If you want a full replay of these drawing sessions, catch them here.
I'm on PC and it's saying your videos are unavailable, but I like the post otherwise!
Excellent work! IC XC = "Jesus Christ" (Usually also accompanied with NI KA = "Conqueror"). The letters in HIs halo spell out a word that means something close to "I AM".
