Christ Pantocrator — Icon Study
Composition study for a 18x24 icon painting
- Medium
- Oil on Canvas
- Year
- 2025
- Format
- 18"x24"
Intent
The goal was to lock composition and gesture before committing to the large format. These studies test spacing, symmetry vs. natural movement, and the read of focal areas.
Process
- Thumbnail value sketches
- Gesture pass to establish posture and rhythm
- Block-in and grouping adjustments
- Refinement for clarity at mural scale
