The Kizhi Pogost Challenge!

Where: Lake Onega, Republic of Karelia, Russia
What: The Pogost includes the church of the Transfiguration, the church of the Intercession and a bell-tower.

Interesting facts:

  1. The original usage of the word "Pogost" applies to the coaching inn for princes and ecclesiastics. In the end of the 10th century pogosts transformed into administrative and territorial districts. Pogosts varied in size, ranging from tens to hundreds of villages in 11th—14th centuries. As Christianity spread in Russia, churches were built in pogosts.
  2. According to the Russian carpentry traditions of that time, the Transfiguration Church was built of wood only with no nails.
  3. The church of the Transfiguration is not heated and is, therefore, called a summer church and does not hold winter services, on the other hand the church of the Intercession is heated and host services are held from October 1 until Easter.
  4. In 1990, it was included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites and in 1993 listed as a Russian Cultural Heritage site.

GOOD LUCK on the challenge! Create for us some breath-taking Pictures of the The Kizhi Pogost for some awesome GA wins!

Cool pics of landmark:

That's actually a very nice place, and also unique. If you are going to travel to Russia (which will not be so surprising since such trips are becoming more and more popular among Europeans), you should really consider visiting Kizhi.

You can either print the image and then connect the dots with a pen or a pencil then you can scan it and link it here or you can colour it before scanning it and then posting it here, or you can use a software (eg paint, photoshop, etc) to do the same.
Remember to post it here when you're finished.

The image is either one of the first 2 links below "This week the landmark for this thread is:".

If I may give a tip. Use the Pen tool instead of Line tool. You only need to click once per dot and it's easy to change the width afterwards. :)

Kind of want to slow it down to see each step to get some idea of how others are working. :) It's always fascinating what technique people use.

How would I use the pen tool exactly? I can make paths but not stroke it.

8 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

After you make a path, create an empty layer and select it.
Open up the brush tool and choose a 2px 100% sharpness brush (or however you want the lines to look like).
Go back to your Paths-panel and select the path you created.
In the bottom of the Paths-panel click on the hollow circle icon. (The full circle will fill your path)
Deselect the path by clicking in the empty area of the paths panel so you can properly see what your lines look like.

Not satisfied with how it looks? Choose another brush-size, but I've found that 2 or 3 matches the original lines the best.

Of course. Since I live in Middle Asia we just produce marijuana and transfer heroin from Afghanistan to Russia. And this is sad kind of joke, 'cause in general it's true. :(
