  • English red and cobalt blue to match an icon with Saint Paul?

  • @06nicu The dark blue mineral vivianite is an iron phosphate, sometimes called blue ochre. This deep pigment is similar to the color of the night sky, which enshrouds it in mystery and is a symbol of the incomprehensibility of God. This color is used to depict the mandorla — the unapproachable radiance of the glory of Jesus Christ and the Mother of God.

  • Not only is this video awesome and a great tutorial...it is very entertaining too! Beautiful imagery and music combine to showcase a great artist and video production. Thumbs up!
