Ever wondered what it’s like to study Classical art full time at a Catholic atelier? Here is a special “day in the life” video of a student in our full-time program at Stabat Mater Studio in Tyler, TX! Juliette takes you through her day as she finishes her first year at the studio.

Art students at Stabat Mater Studio start out with short portrait sketches once a week, and later take on long-pose portraits in full value. Juliette completed this charcoal portrait over six sessions with the model, or approximately 16 hours.
