"I really enjoy the art classes delivered by Ellen. She is a good and nice teacher, very patient and knowledgeable in guiding me in every step from the beginning. I do not know much about art, techniques or any historical artists, and after I took her class (it is my 2nd session at the moment), I gradually develop understanding about my style and techniques. And more importantly, Ellen inspires me to keep learning about it! Highly recommended the online class!!!...."
"Ellen is a phenomenal teacher- right from the start her approach teaches you a clear, simple yet effective approach to painting. She is able to gauge everyone’s individual needs and adapts her feedback/guidance accordingly. The art school is a lovely venue with a beautiful garden and studio space, with enough room for multiple students. I have grown tremendously since painting with Ellen and look forward to many more years."
"I became a student of Ellen Michel’s Art Classes after being gifted a Voucher for my birthday. I went from a non painter to a one who has now exhibited in local and regional art shows. I have also sold paintings privately. With Ellen's nurturing and experience I have discovered one of the greatest pleasures of my life. "
"Ellen is not only a very experienced, knowledgeable and successful artist in her own right but a great teacher as well. She knows how to advise and encourage students to bring out their creative side. She has extensive art history information to share while you paint and amaze yourself with what you can create by following Ellen’s advice. The two hour lesson in Ellen’s studio is a wonderful way to develop your art skills in a relaxed and supportive environment. Highly recommended."
Beginners can learn to paint without drawing skills. Intermediate students achieve and develop more sophisticated techniques. Advanced students will improve skills and critical analysis.
