In icon painting, paint is laid down from dark to light, from coarse grain to fine.
Here is the base color, roshkrish, over the entire icon. The flesh is painted with a mixture called sankir which is a greenish brown.
I did not stay around to redraw the lines in black, but I will do that tomorrow.
I was glad to add the bright colors to the Icon.
St. Therese is going to be stunning, with her bouquet of roses.
When finished I think it will be Fantastic!
