Welcome to The Tinker Unattended Renaissance Art Guild.
Welcome artists, students, and seekers of mastery. This community is dedicated to the study of classical Renaissance drawing, painting, artistic discipline, and the timeless principles of the atelier tradition. Inside this atelier, we study not only technique — but the deeper foundations of observation, beauty, craftsmanship, patience, and artistic growth. The teachings shared here are inspired through the lineage of the late Frank Covino and carried forward through the work and instruction of Frank Tebay Jr. (Tinker Unattended). Together we will explore: - Renaissance drawing methods - Chiaroscuro and light - Classical oil painting - Anatomy and figure construction - Master studies - Art history and philosophy - Discipline and studio practice This is not fast-content art education. This is a return to serious artistic training. Every great master began as an apprentice. Take your time Study carefully Practice consistently Do not fear mistakes. Growth comes through observation, repetition, correction, and patience. Before You Begin Please introduce yourself below: - Where are you from? - What mediums do you work in? - What inspired you to join? - Who is your favorite Renaissance master? - Share a photo of your current artwork or workspace if you’d like. We are honored to have you here. — Frank Tebay Jr.Tinker Unattended
