Still Life Painting by Laura Tundel
If you want to hone your still life skills, we offer a variety of courses and workshops throughout the year. Plan your Fall art class schedule now and take advantage of our Color Study course taught by Cassandra Ronning. This class will be focused on one-day oil studies of still lifes in color. The student will begin each class with a quick 20-minute sketch of the still life in paint. The remainder of the day will be focused on color mixing, application, and manipulation of paint on the canvas using brushes or palette knives. Class starts Monday, Sep 23rd from 4:00 - 6:30 pm and runs for 14 weeks.

Finished Drawings in Main Classroom
We've lost count of how many works of art hang on our walls. As a student of the arts, being able to stand close to a fully rendered painting or drawing to inspect how the charcoal sits in the textures of the paper or how the pencil markings are arranged to capture the value shifts on each plane of the form depicted is an invaluable privilege. These works are just a taste of what hangs in our main classroom. #atelierMPLS #classicalrealism #minneapolisart

Paintings by Laura Tundel
"The transmission of knowledge and skills from generation to generation is the process through which professions remain alive and vigorous. This remains as true for physics as it does for painting." - written by our founder, Richard Lack. An atelier teaching model is dependent upon the teachers being masters at their craft. These two portraits hanging at the entrance of The Atelier were created by our assistant director and instructor, Laura Tundel. Her experience and skillset enriches each class she teaches. If you're interested in studying portraiture, don't hesitate to check out our course catalog. We offer options for part-time and full-time study. https://theatelier.org/links/ #ateliermpls #classicalrealism #realismportrait #minneapolisart

Laura portrait demo
Assistant Director Laura Tundel gives a portrait demonstration for the full-time students at The Atelier Studio Program of Fine Arts. In this head study, Laura demonstrates why she tones her canvas, drawing for a likeness in paint, her color palette, and the lay-in/first pass of blocking in color notes. At the end of this video there is a still shot of the study from the end of the demo and a still shot of the completed portrait. 🎬 Full 2-hour video including commentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p4_zjIo9lU Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC88jknY8Couq1KlKS-SAubg @lauratundel #AtelierMPLS #painting #OilPainting #ArtDemonstration #PortraitPainting #TeacherAppreciationWeek
