Join one of our regular weekly painting and drawing classes
Roger Ellis Studios / Art Courses / Join a Weekly Art Group

Our weekly art groups meet at The Crowns for a half day every week, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and with Roger’s guidance explore all aspects of drawing and painting.

We also run a monthly Monday evening group for anyone who cannot come during the week. This will restart at the beginning of March.

"As a beginner, I attended art classes tailored to my ability level covering drawing and watercolour techniques. The classes were a joy, with expert tuition, in a light well equipped studio, in beautiful surroundings. I have been encouraged and inspired by the experience and hope to continue beyond this introduction."

Diane

"We are now settling into Devon .......... - please pass on my very best wishes to everyone. I will miss my afternoon art classes. I really enjoyed the company and the class became one of the highlights of my time in Hereford. When I was packing, I was able to look back over the work I did and see how much I have learned and improved. I will start looking for another art class to join but I know I will be very lucky to find one that will be as much fun and as gently instructive as yours. I will let you know if and we finally find our dream house .............. Happy New Year!"

"I highly recommend art classes by Roger Ellis if you are looking for quality tuition from a talented, inspiring artist and tutor. It was a privilege to paint and draw in the light, well equipped studio created in the beautiful surroundings at The Crowns, Ullingswick."

"...It's wonderful to take time out to do something so rewarding"

"...a very friendly group.."

Carol, Ledbury

"I learned more in one lesson with Roger and Ruth than I previously had in two terms at another art class."

A.S. Hereford

I love the peace and quiet of the afternoons when I am drawing. I am completely concentrating on the job in hand with no thought of other things.
