Taught by Colette Kalvesmaki
Drawing and Painting Courses located at Many Years Farm!
These courses are meant to give training and understanding along with theological thought to the Holy Icon. They are introductory lessons. To learn iconography takes years to really accomplish. These lessons are only the beginning of this journey. They are far beyond just drawing and painting but a journey into how things are made and why they are made that way. A journey into making true beauty. That takes time and it is a process. I hope you will join me for this rare course.
I will continue to build on aspects of the icon and add more classes to this list as we come close to the years end.
Students will need to bring a sketchbook at least 9 x 12 inches. If you intend to take many of these courses you should get a multipurpose sketchbook which can be ordered on-line or purchased at any art store or Michael’s. Students can use the instructors supply of pencils and erasers.
All classes will be held at Many Years Farm in Madison Virginia
Email Colette at paraskeve@gmail.com if you have any questions. To save your space pay below at least a day before the class.

All about Paint:
Any good artist needs to understand their materials. This class is a hands-on course to help students understand how the ancients (and even moderners) make paint. We look at materials for making paint such as bugs, rocks and plants and show how to prepare them for their various binders. The binder holds the pigment and when mixed -it’s paint! We will use egg tempera, wax and oil binders and make our own paints. One hour class. $25 per person all ages
How to Work Your Paints and Make a Color Palette:
In this class students will learn the difference between “wash”, “petit lac,” and “hatching”, as well as saturation, hue and value of paints. Students will also learn the essential brush strokes and build a color palette to be used on their future icon works. One hour class. $36–includes cost of board. All ages. Students will need to bring multipurpose sketchbook to this class.

We will use egg tempera, wax and oil binders and make our own paints. One hour class. $25 per person all ages
How to Work Your Paints and Make a Color Palette:
In this class students will learn the difference between “wash”, “petit lac,” and “hatching”, as well as saturation, hue and value of paints.
