What student's are saying...

"Ever since starting art classes with Ellen 6 years ago, I have found her to be an extremely talented artist and teacher who has also become a wonderful friend and Mentor to me. Ellen has an amazing way of distilling her experiences in life and art into teachings that deeply resonate with her students. She has taught me many ways to look at and think about the various aspects of artistic composition and the many ways of interpreting them onto canvas" -Shirley

Ellen Michel Art School Student Work Examples

This student gallery demonstrates the remarkable progress and creativity of artists learning at Ellen Michel's Art School in Heidelberg. This collection showcases the diverse talents of students at every level, from first-time painters discovering the joy of mixing colours to advanced artists mastering complex compositions in realism, impressionism, and abstract expressionism. Each piece tells a story of growth, experimentation, and personal expression, reflecting the skills developed through Ellen's hands-on mentorship and classical oil painting techniques. See how vibrant still life paintings demonstrate what's possible when passion meets expert guidance. These works are a testament to the transformative power of dedicated practice and individualised instruction in our Melbourne art classes.

"Being a person in my seventies with a mental illness I was blessed with a wonderful gift of art classes by my family with Ellen Michel. Being a complete novice I cannot thank her enough for her wonderful teachings, support, care and encouragement" - Jo
