Some years ago a Minneapolis city newspaper profiled the atelier at which I was then a student. I'd assumed the article had long since gone the way of all newsprint, but I just stumbled upon it in a website archive.
For anyone interested in this type of training, and even for those who will never be inclined or able to participate in such a program, you might enjoy some of the insights and observations offered here, not only about the atelier regimen, but about the resurgence of interest in realism generally and the repercussions that's having in schools, galleries, and museums.
The article, entitled
Get Real, can be accessed by clicking on that title.
