Byzantine iconography follows methods spanning many centuries where technique and materials remain stable and enduring through time. Our range includes iconography pigment powders in a wide variety of colours, wood and carved wood panels (lime wood, plywood, and other wood types) prepared or unprepared, and specialized brushes with natural hair for fine detail work.
We stock gold leaf and imitation gold for gilding icons, burnishing agates in various shapes, sizing glues and resins, iconography varnishes, and all the preparation raw materials iconographers need. You’ll also find iconography books and Byzantine technique manuals for study. Whether for portable icons or church murals, we have all the tools and materials that traditional iconography art requires. With experience since 1974, Art & Colour supplies iconographers with authentic materials across Greece and worldwide.
