Excellent, gifted instructors. Nurturing, supportive learning atmosphere. Terrific student camaraderie. Both in-person and online classes are well-executed and an excellent value for your time and money. The southeast MI area is fortunate to have such a resource readily available!
This is a great place to learn painting. The instructors is not only great artists also great teachers. Students are friendly make this environment like a great community.
A great place to learn to create! With small class sizes both beginners and experienced artists get individual attention. The upbeat atmosphere is so friendly that it feels like family--everyone is supportive and encouraging. The instructors are accomplished artists, and several have taught at the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit.
Atelier studio is a wonderful studio filled with positive energy, great enthusiastic teachers and a supportive and encouraging place to create. I have been there since it opened and the director and teacher Todd Burroughs is a pleasure to be around. If you have an idea he will help you develop it into reality. The instructors on the staff are similar in personality and great teachers. I have learned so much and would encourage for anyone who is interested in becoming an artist to try out a class and see the magic that happens.Lesley Kutinsky

I have had the privilege of being a student at Atelier Art Studio for almost a year now and have been consistently impressed with the studio, classes and educational opportunities provided. Todd, the owner is more than just an art teacher- he really has brought a community of people of all ages together who are united by a love of art and creativity. I have participated in several art classes across the Metro Detroit area and without question, Todds studio is unparalleled in terms of an open and communicative environment. I enjoy painting and speaking with individuals of all ages- from high schoolers to retirees. Age and experience is no barrier at Atelier and I recommend this place for anyone looking to develop technique, enhance their skills, and become more familiarized about painting history and various forms of art (oils, acrylics, pastel, drawing etc). If you are a working professional, have family obligations or just in general are busy with commitments, this place has a very flexible schedule and is accommodating to your schedule. I will say, I was quite intimidated by the skill level that every student seemed to possess the first time I walked into the studio, however I quickly learned how talented Todd and the staff is at breaking down the steps at how to create a realistic painting. Techniques including color theory and underpainting were all new to me and I have been able to integrate the lessons I have learned at Atelier into my own style of painting that I do at home. The Studio Assistant, Hanna, is very warm and embracing and I look forward to seeing her, Todd, and the rest of the students at Atelier every week!
