“The internationally well-known iconographer Ekaterina Daineko will be teaching a masterclass in icon painting in Scotland in 2020. Ekaterina is from Minsk, Belarus, and has worked as an iconographer for 20 years. She teaches icon courses in Eastern Europe, England, the United States, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and now for the first time also in Scotland. The icons of Ekaterina stand out for their wonderfully fluent, dynamic and soft painting style and an exceptionally subtle and transparent use of colour and highlights, which remind one of the masterpieces of the famous medieval Russian icon painter Saint Andrej Rublev.”
