What is atelier training?

Pronounced “ah-TEL-ee-yay”, is a French term meaning "workshop" or "artist’s studio".

The word "atelier" has come to be synonymous with the current resurgence of 19th century academic art training. An atelier course of study starts with copying master drawings and progresses to drawing plaster casts of classical sculpture. These studies are done in preparation for figure drawing and figure painting from life. Landscape, still life and portrait painting are often also included in the curriculum. - Info from Sadie Valeri Atelier
