Introduction to Illumination Painting with Raquy Danziger

This workshop offers a taste of this sacred art form, guiding you through the process and teaching you how to create your own illuminated painting.

The steps include:

Design it with a pencil on tracing paper

Transfer it to a coffee-stained final card

Fill in the gold

Paint the other colors, outline, and fill in the background

Testimonial: Raquy Danziger taught me illumination art. It's painting but she took it for me to another level. Raquy took me and showed me a museum of Illumination art, art school, mosques, and many other places which I would never find by myself - so much beauty and inspiration. I could even visit Raquy's apartment which is full of her paintings! She inspired me deeply with her paintings and lifestyle as well.
We had art books while painting so when I felt lost, I could get re-inspired by them or ask Raquy. She was very patient and generous with me so I could finish my first Illumination painting ever - under her good guidance. I enjoyed learning with Raquy in a peaceful place. I'm proud of what I learned and that I can share it further.

Requested donation: $70 which includes materials. No one turned away for lack of funds.
