Collection: Deconstruct & learn to paint Khusraw at the castle of Shirin.

If this is your first miniature painting, it is strongly recommended you complete the preliminary course: An Introduction to Miniature Painting, linked here.

During this module, you will recreate this 15th century Persian miniature painting depicting Khusraw at the Castle of Shirin. 

Over a course of ten lessons you will be supported and guided through the re-creation of this serene and beautiful miniature work. Build upon the techniques introduced during the first module and enhance your understanding of Persian miniature painting. 

By the end of this unit you can expect to feel more confident in your skill and approach to miniature painting. The unit will begin by preparation the materials to be used, from paper to pigment making, before tacking a different element in each commencing week.

*The miniature painted during the session has been modified to suit the needs and level of the class. 

**Miniature painting is the art of patience. It's a craft which depends on a careful process. Like all experienced miniature painters,  it is unlikely you will finish a painting within ten classes. Instead each class has been designed so that you experience and practice every aspect, leaving you with enough confidence and knowledge to complete the painting in your own time.
