Course of Iconography.

Last week I participated in an iconography course

The instructor of the course was Philip Davydov (St.Peterburg, Russia):

It was a very productive time for me. Egg tempera painting is an old and one of very complicated techniques. However more and more people are starting to learn and use it. I learned  how to organize the working process step by step, and how all those steps make the image work. It was also a very interesting teaching process that made us, as students, not only to see, but to also deeper understand the Image as a message.

Gouache

We continue to work with gouache.

Some of students practice with brushstrokes.

Some of students exercise by coping pictures made by camera.

Mono-type helps them to see beauty in colorful spots.

  

We are almost ready for the exhibition! More pictures that you can see are in the Gallery

Sincerely yours,

Alla

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, my dear friends!

As we say 
adieu to the silver of Winter
And welcome the 
brightly blooming Spring
As the earth is refreshed with 
the joys of Easter
Here's wishing you every happiness 
the season can bring! 

Happy Easter!

Watercolor.

We have started to learn watercolor. Paper, brushes, water, colors.... a lot to control! However children enjoy the process and they play with all the rules and tasks.

We learn how to get lighter and darker spots, how spots can be beautiful, how to work on wet and dry paper.

Here the results.

Fall season in Calgary is very short. However, we caught the perfect moment to learn from nature colors and textures.

Then, we learned about Fall holidays in different countries and Thanksgiving Day in Canada.
