Can anyone recommend a source of information on icons and iconography? I have written/painted one and the second will not be for a few months, but I'm a reader/researcher by nature and need to feel more grounded before working on the second.
I know nothing except that I completed the Archangel Michael, Greek style in acrylics and that Archangel Gabriel is next. I think he's in the same style and medium (different teacher and situation). I know there's a preferred order, but don't know beyond Gabriel.

I found the book by Jim Forest Praying with Icons a pretty good introduction to icons, at least for a beginner like me. I'm sure that you will receive many excellent suggestions from others more knowledgeable! http://www.amazon.com/Praying-Icons-Jim-Forest/dp/1570751129Andrea

You can try THE MEANING OF ICONS by Leonid Ouspensky or SAINTS OF THE EASTERN ORTHODOX CHURCH both are available on AMAZON.COM...
Who is your workshop with?

Thanks for the book referrals.
The class is with Deb Korkula.
I'm not sure I can take the week off for the Prosopon school.
