As the basis for the icon we took a wooden Board, glued it on linen canvas and applied gesso. Canvas in vintage icons from ancient times served to prevent cracking and deterioration of the wooden base of the icon.
Gesso is applied in several layers with intermediate sanding. Sometimes we leave it on it cracks and chips, which gives the icon a special, old-world charm.
