------------------
I do all these works myself, and by own hand.
First, I prepare the table by applying 7-8 layers of a mixture of rabbit tail, chalk (calcium carbonate) and water. Once dry, I smooth the surface to make it smooth.
Then I draw the outline and the main lines of the icon and I proceed to apply oil paint.
The faces, hands and feet are painted by myself at the end as well as their luminous tones.
To finish the job, I write the inscriptions and in some my signature, which is my name in Russian Cyrillic "лаура", and the year that I painted it.
Once finished, and when it has completely dried, I apply a thin layer of varnish to protect it.
