Tutorial packets

Tutorial packets help students to paint at home, using what they have learned in workshops taught by the Prosopon School of Iconology or its affiliates. The instructions are based upon the school’s methods and techniques, and it is assumed that those painting from packets are familiar with the school’s terminology. These packets were created and are taught by Faye Drobnic at St. Elizabeth Icon Studio, an affiliate of the Prosopon School.   

Students who purchase tutorial packets may also enroll in critique classes for feedback on their work (more details on critique classes here).

To order tutorial packets, email St. Elizabeth Icon Studio at fayemdrobnic@gmail.com. Your information will not be shared. Payment is by check or electronic invoice via PayPal. Shipping cost per order is $9.
