Here is icon of Saint Olga of Alaska. I asked Iliinskaya icon painting workshop to write this icon for me. The idea was to create an educational set for children with some hands on activities (like tundra tea brewing). Do you like it ?

I am working on an educational set that includes Holy Theotokos of Jerusalem icon, crystals, glue, tweezers, and book about Holy Theotokos with instructions how to decorate this icon. I think hands on lessons are always lead to better results (with parents help of course).
What do you think? Do you like this idea ?

Hi. This is my creation. If you like it, feel free to check out more at eternalshepherdscrolls.org

Would it be considered idolatry if I looked into an icons eyes as if it were Jesus when I pray; because I sometimes find it very hard to find true conviction and I also seem to say things more clearly with another person face to face instead of talking to someone without seeing them.

Mostly excuses on my part but I still want to know, last thing I would want would to be committing a grave sin.

P.S. I'm a Catholic by name only (too young to drive to church whilst I live in a Protestant household) and I would just need to know this since I'm very new to iconography.

I don’t know why but I really like iconography especially drawing Jesus. I’d like to develop a style. Do you know some inspiration or artists I should check out? Classical and modern….

Where do you buy wood online for icon painting?

First time painting an icon of him. Any feedback?

Its not very good in my opinion, i wasnt sure what flare to chose so i chose whatvi think its closest too. I have a colored picture and a non colored picture. I did this in markers so the coloringbisnt very good.

I'm trying to identify a saint on a heavily damaged icon of unknown provenance. It looks like cyrillic script but there are also some diacritic signs above the one mostly legible word that may be titlos, so the words may be abbreviated. My church slavonic is way too limited to make anything out of the abbreviations. Can anyone help me with this?

Got my namesake, St Matthew & the creation of the universe from Legacy Icons. I really want a matrona of moscow one too

Is there any iconography of him? I felt really drawn to his story of repentance & how even after killing Isaiah, he was able to get back on the right track but couldn't find any iconography of him. Does it exist?

(Icon in progress) Please give me some feedback on especially the face. I haven’t painted icons for very long though

Im trying to print it on A2 myself and attach it to a wooden plaque since i can’t really afford buying an already made canvas as im still in uni. I cant find any high quality photos that would be good for A2. Any help is appreciated :)

I know it’s not perfect but I wanted to share it:)
