St. Elias - kovchek






Wanting to follow the prototypes of this icon, I used an ochre for the kovchek. However, since the halo comes onto the kovchek in this icon, I needed to use a darker ochre than is common to provide some contrast with the gold. This is straight Brown Ochre, applied in many layers in every direction, as with the background.
