<h5><strong>About your teacher</strong></h5>
<p><br /><strong>Basia Mindewicz</strong></p>
<p>born in 1978 in Warsaw, is an icon painter and contemporary artist. She was trained in Poland in the College dedicated to iconography. Studying ancient techniques of egg tempera and gold gilding. For many years she has been mainly working in a very traditional style learning the language of the icon. When she came to Edinburgh she started exploring other &lsquo;&rsquo;languages&rsquo;&rsquo; searching for more personal and contemporary ways of depicting similar reality. Her development as an artist is a process of uncovering a truth about who we are as human beings and what we need to become whole. Icon painting as a spiritual practice grows in silence and stillness.</p>
<p>Graduated from The Maria Grzegorzewska Academy of Special Education, MA and College of Iconography (Policealne Studium Ikonograficzne) in Bielsk Podlaski in 2008.<br />She has been working for major icon-painting workshops in Poland. Organized many private workshops and residential courses.</p>

Basia will guide you in the way that you will be able to introduce your ideas into the image.
The course will include demonstrations of every stage of creating an icon.
Students will be guided to complete their icons in a traditional Russian method but also encouraged to look for their own voice.
In the demonstrations, Basia will try to include her own personal style.
Stages of work include:
Transfering the image onto tracing paper. We will use tracing paper not only to transfer the design but also to learn and explore the shape and the line.
Transferring finished drawings onto a panel covered with layers of gesso.
Redrawing with paint. At this stage, students will start learning how to make paints using egg yolk and dry pigments.
Once all surfaces are covered with enough layers of ground we can start building shapes using lights. In icon painting, we don’t build shapes with shadows.
Gilding – we will be working for real gold leaf. You will be guided step by step in this process to learn the traditional method of gilding. We will be working with oil gilding.
Applying final lights and highlights. Finishing.
It is recommended to wait at least a few weeks before varnishing the finished icon painted in egg tempera. Guidance and demonstration will be provided.
