Product Description

Product Description

A one-stop guide to icon-painting, including the history and spirituality of icons as well as simplified, step-by-step icon-painting technique. Everything you wanted to know about icons but didn't know where to look. This book, written with warmth and an obvious love for the subject, describes the history of icons and looks at why they've been an important spiritual tool for many centuries. It guides readers through the process of painting an icon, from making the initial sketches to applying the final glaze. The book will offer an easier and more accessible way to approach this art than the traditional - and time-consuming - methods. Also included are eight full-color plates of a selection of the author's icons, templates, and prayers for the blessing of an icon.


About the Author

Peter Pearson, a former Benedictine monk, is a priest of the diocese of Bethlehem. He is one of the better known American iconographers. Through his workshops and seminars, as well as the European pilgrimages he leads, he has worked with more than 2000 students.

1.0 out of 5 stars A brush with God: an icon workbook, 29 Dec 2008
By Chris W (Scotland) - See all my reviews
What a ghastly book. Insulting to Orthodox tradition and cheapening faith by trite and insincere language.
Poor ikonography throughout - a total waste of money.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Brush with God; An Icon Workbook, 16 Jan 2009
By Mrs. K. Clarke - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A Brush with God: An Icon Workbook
I agree with everything that has been said about this book, and would have given zero stars if this was possible. I was looking for an extra, more modern workbook using the 'traditional' methods of orthodox iconography, but the product review turned out to be misleading and the resulting book has no useful content for traditionalists. In future I will stick with reprints of older well tried publications until I can 'see inside' an interesting looking new book. Definitely don't waste your money.
