I think this is your best pedagogical video. The zoom you add in this video and the reduction of speed improved alot more the visualization, allowing the assimilation of what to do. To hear what to do is sometimes incomprehensible for the mind, it needs an image. Thank you once more master Antonis.
Another amazing icon! Thank you for this. I have struggled with Saint Nicholas. Beards and hair always have been hard for me but his beard has always been super hard for me. Now I can watch you do it properly as many time as it takes for me to get it.
Εξαιρετικό δώρο για την ονομαστική μου εορτή που θα είναι σε δύο μέρες προκαταβολικά ο φίλος μου ο Αντώνης έκανε μία πολύ όμορφη εικόνα από μια μορφή με εξαιρετική αγιότητα.μπράβο φιλέ μου Αντώνη δυνατές πινελιές πολύ ομαλό και ιδιαίτερο πλάσιμο στις φόρμες και πάλι μπραβο !!
Ευχαριστούμε που μοιράζεστε τις γνώσεις σας. Αν και τα αγγλικά μου είναι φτωχά το μαγικό σας χέρι και η εξαιρετική πινελιά σας μας χαρίζουν πολλές γνώσεις. Συγχαρητήρια, από καρδιάς.
An excellent gift for my name day, which will be in two days in advance, my friend Antonis made a very beautiful image of a figure with exceptional holiness.well done my friend Antonis strong touches very smooth and special shaping in the forms well done again !!
That is a magnificient icon! Thank you so much for this video. I admire in this video the wisdom of byzantine iconography and how with each and every step in the icon it evolves in a holy and respectful way. One of your best videos I would say. Thks again and God Bless!
Another beautiful tutorial thank you for the lesson master antonis that was very helpful and I love the eikoun of St.Nicholas so far no struggles for me. May Saint Nicholas grant you protection and good health.
I've painted three 'icons' now. Each one was inspired by one of your videos. I just painted them on paper with gouache. I have so much fun painting them.
Very nice video! I really think you need to talk about the semnification of some icons like the Holy Trinity of Rublev. And try to show us how to paint small faces( 2 cm or less). Anyway, good job!
So grateful! Excellent video and a wonderful icon, Antonis, as always! I watch without blinking..( : I personally very much enjoy the slower speed..In fact, the slower the better..
Αντώνη πολλά πολλά συγχαρητήρια!!! Είστε εξαιρετικός!Ο Κύριος να σας χαρίζει υγεία και να απολαμβάνετε πάντα το έργο σας με την ίδια χαρά , που διακρίνω στα βίντεό σας και την οποία καταφέρνετε να μεταδίδετε και σε εμάς! Ευλογημένο μήνα Φλεβάρη
Thank you for all the wonderful videos! But if you have a minute - please, please make a video about highlighting a Red (zinnabar) garment with Blue highlights - or about using a negative first light... It would be of much interest for many viewers! :)
¡Hola! Vengo siguiendo hace relativamente poco tus vídeos, y la verdad, que puedo decir que usted es un gran iconografo, y que me esta ayudando mucho a mí, que soy muy nuevo en este ámbito. Quería saber, si es posible, si podría hacer un video de como pintar esos patrones de cruces en las vestiduras de los obispos (si sabe a lo que me refiero) ¡Muchísimas gracias de antemano, que Dios lo bendiga! Hi! I have been following your videos relatively recently, and the truth is that I can say that you are a great iconographer, and that you are helping me a lot, that I am very new in this. I wanted to know, if possible, if you could make a video on how to paint those cross patterns on bishops' vestments (if you know what I mean) Thank you so much, God bless you! (Sorry for my bad english, i am from Argentina)
Hello! I found this site first after searching ‘how to paint an icon’. Then watched your lesson and just subscribed. However, I feel I have arrived after the beginning of the course! I am not even sure what kind of paint you are using! Is there a proper order or sequence in which to watch the videos? Very best wishes from Ireland!
It’s okay - no need to answer - you tell us later on. White, ochre and a bit of cadmium red for first light. can you use cinnabar instead of cadmium as I don’t have cadmium .
Κύριε Αντώνη εχθές σας βρήκα σας βλέπω καιρό αλλά δεν ήξερα το όνομα σας ασχολούμαι με την αγιογραφία ερασιτεχνική 20 χρόνια περίπου όλα από μόνος μου θέλω να δείτε στο προφίλ μου κάτι εικόνες και να πείτε τη γνώμη σας
Just what the h*** does he mean by "proplasmos", dropsimata". It would be helpful if he would explain just exactly what he's talking about. After all, he is "communicating" in English.

Another beautiful icon! I think the Cretan style of iconography is my favorite. Thank you for sharing this, and all your videos!
Τhank YOU Katherine
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video and classic icon of Saint Nickolas! Amazing work and talent!
Thank you Leonida!!! Paint well!
Thank you so so much for this beautiful tutorial !! God Bless you !! 🙏
A wonderful school for beginners also. Bravo and thank you!
You are absolutely right when you make the comparison between the byzantine iconographers and the Japanese/Chinese ink-and-watercolor painters.
I'm glad you see what I'm talking about! 😊😊
Very nice video! I really think you need to talk about the semnification of some icons like the Holy Trinity of Rublev. And try to show us how to paint small faces( 2 cm or less). Anyway, good job!
Thank you so much!! That's a great idea!!!
Thank you for sharing your St Nickolas - it’s a beautiful work. God bless. :)

Alisa thank YOU!

Thank you so much!! That's a great idea!!
I would love to know the name of the brush you are using and what size. It really keeps a good, sharp point. Thank you for your videos.
Hello Antonis!what colors did you use for the clothes?
Can you tell me what the color mixture is in the first light ? Thank you.

Oh thank you so much for your comment!!! I am so glad you find this helpful! Soon I will make a video on that!
Το χιλια ευχαρηστω ειναι ληγο να σου εκφρασω την ευγνομοσηνη μου!
Φανταστική και αυτή η εικόνα. Θα μπορούσατε να μου πείτε με ποια χρώματα βγάλατε την συγκεκριμένη σάρκα ?

No answer?
Great work! Thanks for sharing your work.
Just a tip: try to pronounce Proplasma🙂 instead of proplasmos🤗
What color do you use as a base color for face?
It’s okay - no need to answer - you tell us later on. White, ochre and a bit of cadmium red for first light. can you use cinnabar instead of cadmium as I don’t have cadmium .
Thank you Suku! You are so great! Definitely you can use cinnabar. It's better even!
Hey Antonis, thanks for this great video! Do you have some link to the original icon online? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks
Hi.. I don't have a link... I used a photograph a friend sent me...i could email it to you...
@@PaintingtheLight That would be great as I'm currently painting St Nicholas! It's ciunio@gmail.com. Thanks
Can you please do Saint Ahmet the calligrapher.
