Icon painting with egg tempera, individual classes, historical technique

Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 9 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the nimbs. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

Extra information

Before our lesson I will send you a detailed information on the materials needed. If you're just starting and don't know how to get the materials - don't worry, I can share all materials needed to start and learn! Just let me know, what is best option for you! During our sessions, I will also give you necessary detailed advice to buy your own materials, because the best option is to work with your own brushes and pigments.

About Me

I was born in Warsaw. I graduated in Art History from the University of Warsaw, where I became fascinated with the art of the christian Orthodox Church and began to paint icons. In 2009 I started studying in Christian East Studium in Warsaw, and then I started working as a teacher of icon painting in 2013, in the workshop "The Way to The Beauty". In 2015 I decided to move to Belgium, where In found in Brussels the Academy of Icon Painting founded by Russian artist Irina Gorbunova-Lomax. I'm currently completing my studies there.
As a musician I graduated from the State High School of Music ‘Józef Elsner’ in Warsaw in the double bass class, and later, from the State High School of Music ‘Fryderyk Chopin’ in Warsaw, where I became a professional musician specialising in the viola da gamba. Currently, I'm studying at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, continuing my baroque music studies, playing the violone with James Munro.
During my artistic career, I had given concerts in Poland, Denmark, Germany and Italy with many groups of ancient, folk and traditional music, notably with ‘Collegium Musicum Bednarska’, ‘Lublin Castle Band “Alta”’, ‘Ærøfolkehøjskole Band’ and ‘Kukawica’.
In 2019, I also began studying instrument building at CMB Puurs, where I build violas da gamba of all sizes.

Experience / Qualifications

I'm a painting icons teacher since 2013. I work with adults with individual approach, to tailor my methods to every person's needs and way of learning. During my career as a teacher I worked already with about 50 people, who then started their own artistic work as icon painters - both professional and hobby.

Group Creative Therapy: Story-making for Wellbeing
These online workshops offer opportunity for arrival, expansion and connection through a combination of meditation, movement and story-making exercises. Each workshop lasts 90 minutes and a typical session may include stretching and movement exercises, improvisation games, collaborative storytelling and guided meditation. Each session offers the opportunity for experiencing and practicing grounding (being connected to our present space and time) and offers us connection with our imagination, with our creativity and with the others in our group. Testimonials from past participants: “It feels like Vicky’s created a space that will mould itself to our shapes, rather than us having to find a way to fit in.” “I always leave feeling like it was worthwhile and like we creatively achieved something. Even if it's something small. Very gratifying stuff for quite a short length of time.” “It is really beneficial to have someone facilitating these thought processes in the way that Vicky does. It is evident that Vicky carefully curates these exercises to meet the mood of the 'room'.” “I often come out of the workshops feeling refreshed - a state that is quite hard to attain during this period of lockdown and mundanity.”

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen. I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist. I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns. In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on. You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns. Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Idris
Painting Tutor: Discover and develop your artistic language
I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London. Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don't always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you! Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs. The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language. (Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.) Have questions? Don't hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)
