I'm 55 years old and I'm three months…
I'm 55 years old and I'm three months into working through Part 1 of the Milan Art Institute's Mastery Program. I cannot believe how comprehensive this course is! I've paid good money for other courses that are so basic and barely taught me anything technical or added to my skillset. The Milan Art Program has challenged me and pushed me in the most wonderful ways. The training videos are of high quality, clear to understand and follow along so I'm not left confused. In just a short time I've been able to produce beautiful work that I'm really proud of, and the coaches are all so supportive. If you'd like to follow my progress I am posting each assignment to my Instagram account @karindasmithart.
Thank you Milan Art for producing such a fantastic training program so I can master techniques and skills it otherwise would have taken me many years to learn. I'm growing in my confidence and abilities with each lesson and I look forward to finally fulfilling my life's calling. I'm ever so grateful!

Frustrating!
Frustrating! With so many options and programs available, it can be overwhelming to see how everything fits together. I have concerns about whether these choices will genuinely help you grow as an artist.
I know Im not alone in feeling this way, and I know its okay to take your time to explore what truly resonates with you. I can trust the process, and know that every step you take can lead you closer to your artistic goals. I will stay curious and open to possibilities; The journey is uniquely a personal exsperience.

Welcome to the Mastery Program, we're excited for what this year will bring for you!!
Over the years I have done many online art classes and tutorials. I have never found anything that comes close to what The Milan Art Institute offers. The Mastery Program is like attending art school for a good year. They teach you everything from drawing basics, acrylic painting, oil painting and so much more. Eli and Dimitra are fine artists with a successful business so who better to learn from. If you are not quite ready for the Mastery Program, try out one of their individual classes first. You won’t be disappointed.

I am loving the Mastery Program.
Joining was a big decision for me because of the cost and the language barrier, but even though I started only recently, I already feel incredibly happy and grateful to be part of it.

Thank you for sharing Michelle! We're excited to see you grow through the rest of the Mastery Program!
I am in section 4 of the new program and so far I am super satisfied. The feed back from the couch team has been invaluable and by following their recommendations I truly can see a big difference in my artwork. Looking forward to learning more techniques and be able to graduate from the Mastery Program.

Brilliant program so far
Brilliant program so far! Started as a complete beginner who had attended some Paint Nites, sipped some wine and laughed at what we created...
Prior to the course, my first paintings were so thin with paint. I had no knowledge, but knew I enjoyed 'trying' to paint.
After the first 2 weeks of the Milan Art Institute Mastery Program, I was creating art work that wow'd the entire family... It has been incredible! MAI has changed my life! I am now working towards a whole new career as a professional artist.
Who knew??? Thank you to the Milan family. What you've created is changing lives in such an amazing way. xo

Amazing story Carrie! We're happy to hear you're seeing results so early in the Mastery Program and we can't wait to see how you progress!
My experience at the MAI was truly life- changing. The program is highly quality, well structured and absolutely worth it- one of the best choices I have ever made.
But what made it special was the people! The instructiors and students became like a family, creating a supportive and inspiring environment where I could grow as an artist and find my own voice.
I’m really grateful for everything I learned and experienced, and I would highly recommend it to anyone serious about their creative journey!
Love you guys 🫶🏻!

We have the best community of artists! Thank you for being a part of it and your kind words about the Mastery Program Ginka!
Im not good writer, but to be honest when I started this program, it became the end of regrets of never ending my college classes in art. I had to work to be able to help out at home and school became the last option in my life, now that I'm older and relise that life has become more easier and almost everything can be done at home. I went for it, this came in to my life when depression hit and I wanted something different. So for me this became my refuge. I honestly wanted to perfect my art and this has help to open my eyes to different scenarios and feelings of life. I have almost two years I'm almost done I took the long 2 years because of work and of course situations in life. I will never regret this purchase of course I would have loved to keep my coach because she push me to make art every day. unfortunately it became I little harder for me to keep her, but I still remember the ways she taught me, and what I love of the program is that you can easy review everything again just to refresh your memory. I would gladly recommend this program to any body that wants to learn art. Im almost done with this program and my portfolio.

Thank you so much for sharing J-Ariana, we're so happy that you took the leap and did this for yourself. You have kept choosing to taking a step forward and you're almost to the finish line!
The Milan Mastery Program is worth so much more than the tuition! The program can not only transform you into a professional artist, but also teach you how to market your art and generate sales. It was great before and is even better now with updated courses. If you are considering it, just do it! You won't regret it. You get in put from coaches on every assignment and it is self paced. Worth every penny.
