    An important thing to know...
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2019*

I have only started reading this book and the spiritual reflections and discussion are very good. I just discovered, however, that the instructions are for painting icons with acrylic paints, rather than the traditional egg tempera. I was a little disappointed (and a little not). I am still finding my way regarding what medium(s) to use and have used acrylics myself - so I am certainly not intending to imply that the medium makes the icon. It just would have been nice to know this before purchasing the book and I didn't find this information in the preview. Hence, I am letting other prospective buyers knows this in the event that it matters to them.

    Excellent first course in iconography
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2019*

Refreshing book. Worth the forward alone. There is a brief history to answer the idolatry questions of mostly Protestant sources. He says a lot about prayer. His theological explanations are brief and in depth enough to be spot on, for both Catholics and Orthodox. The writer teaches the basics: the steps--and directs the painter in exactly which pigment colours, and equipment to use. The advantage of this is that a beginner will not face the tangles that can occurr if he doesn't know how hard/soft the pigments are...how they grind. His pigment choices are right, as concerns tradition. I dislike acrylics, but they can work. If you want to supplement, I suggest you google something like Prosopan steps to painting icons, which will involve you deeply in the egg tempera process, gold leaf, and then some unnecessary nonsense. I have had 2 teachers, read quite a bit, etc. painted. If I could take this writers class, I would. A valuable book which puts a lot of information in a thin volume; and the print is very readible. Illustrations w/ each step.

    A Good Spiritual Guide
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2019*

The author does an inspired fob in taking the student of iconography into the deeper levels of the reality of the icon.  This is a good introduction into a second sight into layers of reality that exist beneath the visual.  I appreciated the seven day guide paralleling the creation story.  My only comment is that this should be for a more advanced student.  It seems that the tasks assigned for each day (maybe we are talking biblical days) are too complex for the time period allotted.  When I work on an icon, I am give myself a month in order to be focused yet not frustrated.
