I’m very impressed with the outstanding teaching in the Milan Mastery program. Instructions are clear and techniques are demonstrated, everything is explained and nothing is mystified or vague. The coaching is brilliant, responsive and proactive. Worth the investment.

Milan Art Institute has been incredibly beneficial to me getting back into art. I have been battling a creative wound and as I go through the program I am feeling more and more confident in my own skills. I am excited to see what the rest of the program provides for me and how I will grow within it. Thank you to the coaches and community for their support and encouragement.

The podcasts are very uplifting. Psychologically I feel them to be very transparent and supportive, which I feel I need right now. I”ve taken a giant step and am in exhibitions and getting to know more people in the area. I”ve also found people who are not aligned with my newfound strength and people who are. I know the choices I need to make.

I thought I would get my feet wet with the portrait class and the experience was good. There was a lot of information to absorb and I have been creating art of some type or another (graphite, water colors, acrylics, oils, colored pencil, sculpture, wood carving, quilting, photography…) since I was a child; and I just retired from my “not ART” job last year after twenty years. Always doing what I needed to do and never what I really wanted to do. I always wanted to go to art school but life got in the way. From what I hear and read, it probably would not have been what I expected anyhow, but not going has made me feel inferior because I don’t have that degree that tells everyone, I am someone. I took this class and hope to get into the masterclass, maybe before the end of this year. I just want to concentrate on getting good at some form of art, and feel satisfied with the result. I enjoyed Ellie’s portrait class but, I am a diehard measure, measure, measure, blendie, blendie, blendie artist. After throwing the paint on the canvas, then pushing it around quite a bit, then wiping it off, and putting it back on and pushing it around some more, multiple times, I think I wore my cheap canvas out. It was still a good experience and in the end I gave up and threw it in the trash heap. My husband said it was scary and we have young grandchildren. Hahahah, I don’t want to scare anyone! Thank goodness for the ability to access the information repeatedly because I will give myself a break and start from scratch tomorrow. Thank You, Milan Art Institure.

Best thing I ever invested in for art. The program is easily doable within a year if you put in the work. I learned more in a few weeks than I did in 4 years of college. I learned more in the year than in 20 years of post graduate workshops and painting. The amount of information and resources is vast. If they don’t have it, they direct you to where to find it. The coaches and mentors are genuine and go overboard to help you understand. Although the Milans are mixed media abstract realism folks, that is not all they teach. Most of us go into our own voice and techniques because we are taught the confidence in how to find our own uniqueness.

I found the video very informative. I've heard about the W x L = T, I never knew what to multiply the total to, to get the price. The way you broke down the 5 different stages of an artist, I was simply amazed. I learned so much on watching the video, mistakes I have been making all my life. I stumbled upon some of Elli's artwork by accident, I watched her color video (oil paint). I am a 68-year-old oil painter, I've been doing artwork since before 1st grade. Whilst I have no formal training, I have been working on my craft forever. I learn from other artist. I am going to take the Master Course asap. Due to life's little roadblocks, I find myself unable to enroll now but will do so in the very near future. Thank You

Joining the Mastery Program has been life changing in terms of how much I've learned and continue to learn. Apart from the various assignments in the Program, the Milan Art Institute is very generous with the huge amount of additional bonus material, workshops and masterclasses it offers. Any queries are answered in a very timely manner and within the community there is a lot of support from other members. I highly recommend the Mastery Program.

I have learned so much through this master class. I like all the helpful knowledge you shared. I will look different about pricing my art now. Thank you all for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us.
