Icon Boards For Sale. Icon Boards by Miroslav Zivanović

In my small workshop I can prepare a variety of shapes and sizes of boards at reasonable prices. Boards that are curved or otherwise of an unusual shape are more expensive. The boards are of high-quality lime, carefully dried, generally 3 cm thick (but can be more or less, if required).  Means of carriage can be arranged individually; typically, postage on a package of about ten boards 30 × 40 cm costs about 18 euros.

The pictures shows and example of Miroslav’s work.

Gesso Boards by Andrew and Val George

Gesso panels for painting in egg tempera. Our gesso boards are made in the traditional way using gesso made from rabbit-skin glue and French whiting. They are sanded to provide a fine white ground. This is the correct ground for painting in egg tempera. The boards are MDF, with a bevelled edge. Sizes up to 40 cm are 9 mm thick, above this size 6 mm. Our panels are coated with eight coats of gesso on the front, and five or six on the back.

Gesso Boards is a small enterprise run by artists Andrew and Val George, from their Somerset studios and workshop. Andrew George has been painting in egg tempera for thirty years and has perfected this technique of preparing boards for painting, based on traditional techniques. The boards have a fine white finish and contribute to the luminous quality of egg tempera painting. Our panels are competitively priced, and have the benefit of knowledge of painting in this medium.

Dylan makes Icon boards to any size and shape specified by the Iconographer. The boards can be mailed to the UK or overseas. The boards are available gessoed or ungessoed. The gessoed board is edge sanded and the painting surface un-sanded for the Iconographer to prepare.

Lime or Tulip wood are used for the board, with braces made in European Oak, all woods are kiln dried and sourced from a small family sawmill in Herefordshire. A board up to 15cm wide requires no Oak truss at the rear. Boards from 15 – 27.5cm require 1 truss and boards over 27.5cm require 2 trusses. Very large boards will require 3 trusses (over 100cm) Board trusses increase in width and thickness as specified in Aidan Harts book on Iconography. Dylan also makes flat boards from best grade birch ply, linened and gessoed, available 15mm or 25mm thick.

The hand making of the boards produces a dovetail jointed rear truss and a border to the front face, called a Kovtchec in Russian or Kivitos in Greek. The measurement of the Kivitos needs to be specified at the time of order , measured from the board edge to the top (front) of the 45 degree slope into the Icon board. The completed wood board can be purchased at this stage sanded all around to 180 grit finish.

Alternatively the board can be purchased gessoed.

The wood panels are primed with two coats of rabbit skin glue and then the linen is glued in place. The linen is coated twice with glue and whiting primer and allowed to dry, then a further fifteen coats of gesso applied. This takes place over six or so days.
