List of Ataliers or Schools that teach Academic or Classical Realism

In my search to become a super draughtswoman, I have trawled the internet to find a really good academic school where one can learn, and I mean really learn deeply, how to draw like the Masters, I found a phenomenal website called Art Renewal. The address is artrenewal.org. It is a huge website, a bit slow, but who cares. I found the page with their approved Ataliers all round the world, so if anyone stumbles across my blog looking for a place to learn, just click on this link or type it into your web browser and you will land on a page with a list of the best studios and art schools in the world. http://www.artrenewal.org/asp/database/atelier_list.asp.

I am sure they won't mind my putting this link of theirs on my humble blog. It might help a prospective Master of the future!

I have clicked on most of them and I am completely in awe that there are so many of them. It took me hours to get through the list and it was the most superb entertainment I have had in a long time. I had no idea that the demand for training in classical or academic realism was so huge. I hope to go to one of them in Italy. Raising funds for this won't be easy.
