Meet Your Instructor


Hi! My name is Antonis and I am an Iconographer and a painter. ​I was born in Crete, Greece in 1978. I studied painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts and received my Masters Degree in Fine Arts from the San Francisco State University, US. I am an Onassis and Fulbright Scholar.

I paint Icons since 1992. Currently I work as an art instructor and an iconographer.


Painting this Icon of Christ


In the course I paint this icon of Christ using a reference by Theophanes the Cretan. I explain the process in such a way that the principles used here can be applied to any other icon you wish to paint.


COURSE DETAILS


I proudly present you this course which is carefully designed to meet the needs of both beginner and experienced iconographers. I guide you step by step in the process of painting the icon of Christ following the classic Cretan Tradition of Theophanes the Cretan. The course is a great opportunity for you to learn and paint the specific icon of Christ, but my main concern is to teach you those principles that you could apply to every Icon you paint.

The course consist from a bunch of 24 videos more than 9 hours long, and it is categorized in sections that are easy for the student to follow. It begins with a lesson on drawing the basic facial characteristics and ends with varnishing the icon. Along with the video files, I have chosen 147 great examples of iconography for you to dive into. These images will help you choose your next icon from a large library of references, and will also make you understand how masterful iconography looks like.

Most of you know my style of teaching Iconography so I do believe you will find this course beneficial to you, as I have created it with a lot of care and love.

Thank You,


Antonis Kosmadakis
