Hi there everyone! It’s my first go to see at this site, and post is actually fruitful in favor of me. Keep up posting such articles or reviews.
Georges has been my teacher for over 15 years, he sometimes comes to do a week long workshop in Pittsburgh, PA for me. He is a wonderful, kind, patient , very traditional, but not rigid iconographer.
