The Governors Ball for the 76th Annual Academy Awards ® occurred over a month ago. For I LA Design Services (
iLAdesigns.com) & Fresco School (FrescoSchool.com) this is not an event easily forgotten. For over three months the interior decoration of the Governors Ball has been the sole priority of this Los Angeles based art firm. Whether it was the creation of over 27,000 sq. feet of hand painted "trompe fresco" décor lining the ceiling, or the large handpainted in verdaccio grizaille mural depicting orchid in bloom, the time spent and their dedication to this project was unparalleled.

Transferring CartoonThis Spring and Summer our classes in Los Angeles Will be held at the following dates:

May 13th, Fri. - 17th, Mon
June 3rd, Fri. - 7th, Mon
June 17th, Fri. - 21st, Mon

These courses consist of up to five days of intensive instruction where you will learn how to create true (buon) fresco as artists have done for centuries. At the end of June we are scheduled to go to the Fauxcadamy Awards in Las Vegas to hold a "Fresco Painting - Contemporary Tradition" demonstration, seminar/lecture. Soon after the conclusion of these events we will begin a large scale fresco project in a church in Baltimore. These events will unfortunately keep our regular workshops schedule unclear for the rest of the summer and fall. Unfortunately, we will be able to enroll only 20 people for this set of classes - it is our policy to deliver the maximum undivided attention to each by keeping our workshops within 5-7 artists per class.

Workshop configurations consist of 1 to 5 day classes:

Teaching Fresco

iLia Anossov
iLia Anossov believes that most efficient way to introduce artists to a new and complicated medium such as Fresco as well as explain and demonstrate techniques of the Masters is to allow students to work from the images of their own selection. Images and styles that each student feel comfortable with and had painted in other mediums. During the workshop Mr. Anossov is working individually with each student. His guidance and advice are targeted specifically to the individual student and his/her personal style. With this approach each student has an opportunity to learn the techniques of the Great Masters within the comfort of their own style and/or their own selection of the image.

Fresco Painting - Contemporary Tradition


This fascinating fresco demonstration is an excellent opportunity for you to get familiar with the creative process and concept of buon (true) fresco - painting on wet plaster. iLia Anossov, Nathan Zakheim, and Masha Zakheim will introduce their audience to the traditional method of the true (buon) fresco and erase most of the misconception about traditional buon fresco technique that one may currently have.

The event takes place on June 29th, 2004 at Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada as part of 2004 Fauxcademy Awards week.

Sotirios Panailidis - Iconographer

The Virgin by Sotirios PanailidisIconography today, as an art and as a vital approach to our faith, its course throughout the modern world and its perspective, is something that concerns me as a human being serving this art. I would like to point out some things which constitute a personal collection of experiences and knowledge.
The knowledge of tradition as well as of the techniques
of the great masters of iconography in the past, constitute for me the basis and the motive to further personal progress. In the beginning of our century, the return to Byzantine art was of great interest. Today our feelings are those of indifference and apathy. I should say that contemporary Byzantine art is at risk of losing its admirers not only among educated artists but also among people of the church.
