## Description

Techniques of Icon and Wall Painting : Aidan Hart: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: An excellent reference for learning how to make gesso for icon panels - I bought this to help me understand how to make gesso panels for gilding. I had been having trouble finding a reliable recipe and just general guidance online that was precise enough for me to have confidence to follow. I have found this book to be extremely thorough and very helpful. A very well done to the author for his diligence is communicating every step so well and in such detail.
Review: Techniques of Icon and Wall Painting. - As an artist of many years I can thoroughly recommend this book as a 'Once in a lifetime' publication that will be the standard textbook for icon or wall painters for many years to come. The text is easy to understand and the hundreds of illustrations / photographs compliment the in-depth nature of this fabulous and long needed treatise. If you are initially put off by the price I can reassure you that when you see the quality which is within the cover you will wonder how it is possible to write and produce such a volume which I would have expected to be at the very least £60 - £70. I have awarded 5 stars only because I cannot award 10!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HEAVY!
*by -***- on 14 November 2017*

An extremely comprehensive book on the subject. If you're looking for a beginners "How to paint Icons" book, then a lot of this content may go over your head. It really does goes into a lot of depth explaining the materials, the required preparation and even reviews the spiritual significance of the medium. Although I'm sure I'll never be able to digest and use ALL of the information this book offers, I'm very glad I have it regardless.
