I really enjoyed this course, Julia is a very good teacher! I love the way in which she explains how to achieve the harmony and rhythm that make icons so special - I haven't quite received Julia's fluent linework yet, but I hope someday I will.

I have begun learning to paint an icon but feel I need to understand what is underneath the paint.

I appreciated the explanation of the different forms and rhythms present within the icons. It helped me to better understand how to draw these forms in the future without the videos. I hope to do more learning soon!
