Milan Art Institute

This is an outstanding art program

This is an outstanding art program. It has by far exceeded my expectations.

I love the authenticity and honest…

I love the authenticity and honest commitment to teaching and ensuring that we understand everything thats being taught. They have laid the course out beautifully. Its truly awesome. Just what I needed.

I graduated from the Mastery program…

I graduated from the Mastery program and it was the best art education experience I could have ever imagined. I learned a ton of new skills, got exposed to new art materials and learned how to used them cohesively to create professional artwork. The teachers and mentors are highly qualified, kind, supportive and knowledgeable. They lead me to be success in my art making and art career. You won’t be disappointed!

Useless

I enrolled in an online art course with Milan Art Institute and made the required payment two weeks ago. I was told that I would receive an email with course access information within 12 hours, but I still have not received any email, login details, or course link.

What a great assignment, seeing is believing, just do it!

What a great assignment! I went to sleep thinking of this beautiful painting I created. I didn't think it was possible, but Eli made it so easy to follow. I can see more of where I was stuck in my colours and details. Thank you so much for the guidance. From Canada, Victoria

The Best Investment I’ve Ever Made in My Art

Before Milan Art Institute, I had already taken college art classes, so I wasn’t starting from scratch. I honestly thought I had a pretty good foundation. Looking back, I realize I also had to unlearn some mindsets that were holding me back. Milan Art Institute changed the way I think about art, not just the way I paint. My skills improved more than I ever expected, but the biggest transformation was learning to let go of perfectionism. I didn’t realize how much perfectionism was stifling my creativity and slowing my growth. Once I learned to trust the process instead of chasing perfection, everything changed. What really sets Milan apart is that they teach the whole artist. You learn strong technical skills, but you also learn mindset, creativity, and the business side of being an artist; things I never learned in college but are essential if you want to build a career. The instructors genuinely want you to succeed, and the community is incredibly encouraging. You’re constantly challenged to grow while being supported along the way. You even have mentors to help you through it! I can honestly say Milan Art Institute changed my life. It gave me the skills, confidence, and mindset to become the artist I always wanted to be. I recommend it without hesitation to anyone who is serious about growing as an artist and becoming an entrepreneur!

Great program great community

The app is well designed and easy to navigate. The learning materials are great. Milan Art knows their stuff. The community engagement on the app is positive and the couches are helpful.

I took the 14 Days Creative Challenge….

I took the 14 Days Creative Challenge program in early June this year, during the challenges, I falling in love with the subtraction oil painting techniques which made oil painting so much easier and painted my first bird oil painting; I also falling with love with the monster portrait painting techniques which made portrait painting so much easier and painted my first oil portrait painting. With Elli’s clear and instructive teaching, the learning and painting process of these two oil paintings were so much fun that made someone like me who used to afraid of oil painting and avoid oil painting decided to create a body of portraits paintings with the monster oil painting techniques, and consider to add oil painting to my practice and my series work. Elli is an amazing and gifted art instructor, she makes oil painting so much easier to learn and so much enjoyable. And I wanted to learn more from her, so after the 14 days challenge, I am considering to enroll in the Mastery Program in August this year..

I loved the instruction

I loved the instruction. Maybe more slower explanations of how to mix colors and how to paint.

Don't find excuses, the world needs your voice!

I was so excited to start the program but was disappointed it only opened for enrollment the first 4 days of each month.I wanted to start now. SOOO I bought and took EVERY preclass they offered. Wow that alone was exciting! Loved the school. I graduated 1 year ago Aug 2025. I highly recommend this program. I live in a 24 foot school bus and have a tiny studio in it! My journey had to be creative, my finances were not great ( social security)but I made it work, SO you have no excuse to not go for it. My favorite thing was the discovery of my style and the business side of it.... loved it all. My advice? GO for it, DO it all, test, experience and experiment!

I love watching how they make such…

I love watching how they make such beautiful art while I learn. I don’t have much time because of my babies and I love that I have lifetime access to learn a practice.

My exciting new and challenging art journey

I have undertaken many art courses - acrylic, watercolour, pastel, collage, ink, oil etc. I have never had the warm and cool colours and the opaques and transparents explained before. My art instructors must have had the eye and used to let me know what colour to use but I didn’t understand why. This has been the most enlightening course that I have ever undertaken. The videos are brilliant and explanations provided on every aspect. I feel like I am living a whole new experience through your teaching. It has been especially helpful with the different techniques such as what the old masters used however enormously challenging. I never understood composition and perspective and always painted directly from photographs without really analysing whether they really are a good composition. The different topics have been challenging - I would never have drawn an ape or painted birds. How limited has my journey been. The feedback from coaches is heartening and extremely helpful. I cannot thank you enough for all the hard work that Ellie, Dimitra and your team have put into this program and I appreciate that I am able to be part of it. Thank you for all for your generosity of spirit and your incredible talent. You have made my life.

I have learned so much in 1 class

I ONLY did the 4 star and not a 5…

I ONLY did the 4 star and not a 5 because it was difficult to me in finding how to navigate, there was legacy and that’s all I found. But! I posted in a feed and several members helped me. A coach jumped in immediately and helped me with screen shots and telling where and what I needed to go or do. That impressed me. Within minutes I was helped. It was on a Sunday too. Other than that I’m going through 1:1 and I’m pleased with the explanation and how to’s and supply list. So that is 5 stars. Don’t let my experience deter you. Give them a minute and more than one is willing to help. Especially a 61 y/o woman who grew up with pad and pencils.

I enrolled in an online art course with Milan Art Institute and made the required payment two days ago. I was told that I would receive an email with course access information within 12 hours, but I still have not received any email, login details, or course link. I have tried waiting and checking my inbox, but there has been no communication regarding my enrollment. Based on my experience so far, I am very disappointed with the lack of response and support. I would advise potential students to be cautious before making a payment until they can verify that the course access and communication process is reliable.

I purchased a class for portrait…

I purchased a class for portrait painting. It was on sale, I took a chance.. the first module was so informative. I learned more in just 30 minutes of the introductory.. I can’t believe how easy and informative. Concepts that always seemed complicated. I finally got it. I love there programs. I hope I can one day do the masters program. I retired in 2 more years. I have very little free time. But, wow is this a great school.

Loving and looking forward to more!

I'm enjoying doing this class so far I did the two week challenge and it was fantastic I am now currently in the master program and it so far has been very informative and has helped me to improve in my artistic abilities!

Instructed by my favorite artist of all time.

Although I'm begining the Mastery Program I can feel the excellence anyways, and trust that it's such until the end. After all, this experience stays forever with me. My rating reflects that of the previous course taken already (Outstanding Artist Challenge). Imagine taking art guided by your favorite artist of all time, shall tell you all about my experience with the Milan Institute of Art.
