Thank you Jupiter!!
There is just so much to learn and I learn from you guys all the time but now I need to get it all combining to evolve my art further
Thank you for sharing with us Christa!
I have been following videos from this company for at least the last couple of years, and I have been surprised by the quality, professionalism and thoroughness of the offerings. Many folks are trying to making a "go" of various types of businesses, dispensed through the YouTube platform, but the Milan crew is particularly good at it. That isn't to say that everything is perfect. Occasionally, the organization is not all there, but they have that special "it" which makes for an engaging and educational product. For the first time in YEARS I feel like I am becoming properly prepared to produce a quality art product, get it on the market and actually make a living with it - all of which is extraordinary, especially since I am disabled and somewhat isolated. The Milan crew knows instinctively all those details that I need to fill in the "cracks" in the necessary functions of an art business. I feel very grateful, especially since a good amount of it is for no charge. If I wasn't poverty stricken, I would definitely take all their paid courses. At any rate, I highly recommend all of their videos, as well as the art supplies they recommend. Every artist could be helped by the Milan Art Institute, I am betting.

Thank you for sharing Adrienne!! We appreciate you!
Milan Art Institute has truly been a life-changing experience for me. I was initially hesitant, especially because I had seen that many students develop a similar style but I’m really glad I took the step. I began with the older version of the program and found it challenging at first. However, that was mainly because I was transitioning from digital painting to working on canvas, which felt like a completely different world. Once I adjusted, I discovered how much I genuinely love painting on canvas. Halfway through the program, the updated courses were released and they’re even better. The material is more refined and incredibly valuable. I actually chose to restart the program just to experience the updates fully and revisit the exercises, which has been 100% worth it. What I appreciate most is the teaching approach: there’s structure, but also a lot of creative freedom. The tips, guidance, and overall philosophy behind the program have helped me grow significantly as an artist. I also regularly post in the group coaching sessions and receive thoughtful feedback from the coaches, which has been a big part of my progress. Overall, I’ve learned so much and continue to improve every day. I highly recommend it to anyone serious about developing their art.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience Ioanna! The balance of structure and creative freedom is so valuable when going through the learning process of painting and drawing. We're so happy to hear you have thrived learning this way. We're super proud of you and we're excited for your future as an artist! Thank you for being a valuable part of our community!
I have just started and have already learned alot.
Thank you for sharing Frank!
I very much enjoyed this recent course in painting a parrot in the art class #AcrylicPaintingMadeEasy I felt I was still able to learn while the painting was still authentically me :) learned some great tips along the way
Yes! Learning the techniques to apply with your own style and voice is so important! Thank you for sharing your experience Michelle!
The Mastery Program has encouraged me to go for it! That desire to be a real artist has been burning within since I can remember and needed to erupt. This program has blown the lid off and exposed all the lies and fears I have been told and believed about becoming a professional artist. Although I have been moving through the curriculum fairly slowly I am becoming much more confident and having a blast playing with so many more mediums. The coaches are brilliant and super helpful and want to see you grow. My goal this year is to give myself permission to paint, graduate 👩🎓 , get more connected and hopefully someday meet this beautiful Milan family and team.
We'd be thrilled to have the opportunity to meet you Lisa! It sounds like you've had some real breakthroughs with your art and in your self belief as an artist. It's a special moment when you call yourself an artist and truly believe it for the first time. Thank you for taking the time to share, we appreciate you!
MAI Mastery is not just a program — it’s a transformation. Even before completing it, I see the evolution in my art, my vision, and myself. Surrounded by a team that feels like family, I am growing, expanding, and stepping fully into the artist I am meant to be. I am grateful, inspired, and proud to be part of this journey. This is only the beginning. ✨🎨 Love you guys 🫶🫶🫶!
Cheers to " growing, expanding, and stepping fully into the artist I am meant to be." We love this for you and we're thankful to be part of your journey as an artist! Thank you Ginka!!
I fell in love with the vibrancy and quality of the art produced during the season 4 of The Outstanding Artist . After 7 years of art classes, 5 years of impressionism and 2 of realism, I was close to where I wanted to be with my art, but it lacked the richness of color and style that the Milan course displayed. Also, I was either spending a good deal of time pre-drawing or projecting the images to paint. The little mini course of painting the blue parrot allowed me to paint without pre-drawing and greatly improved my art with vibrant color.
That's awesome Gayle!! So happy you were able to find so much value to your art practice with this class! Thank you for sharing your experience, and I hope you have shared it with the community, we'd love to see your work!
The underwater workshop was an amazing experience. To get to be in the Milan studio with other artists on the same path of growth was so empowering. Elli and Constantino lead us all to be the best versions of ourselves as artists and creatives. Staying at the house was also a must as we all were able to enjoy each other and get to share our wins. The Milan’s are a warm and open family whose mission it is to lead us to be Outstanding artists.
We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your time in the workshop Annie!! Painting with other artists and having that community experience is priceless! Thank you for sharing!
I’ve absolutely loved the course. I’ve really enjoyed the drawing, and learning the processes with acrylics and oils has been incredibly enlightening. I’m looking forward to continuing my art learning journey.
We love hearing this Kristy! Thank you for sharing!
Improved a lot from the very beginning:) Highly recommending! ✨
You're awesome Simona! Thank you for sharing!
Honestly I have been to art school and did not get as good an education there as the mastery program. I think the most profound thing among many I have learned is the use of warm/cool colors in oils. It has taken my oil painting to a level out of this world. I tell everyone I meet now serious about art about this program!
We LOVE hearing this Rachael! Thank you for sharing your experience, we truly appreciate being part of your journey as an artist!
Love the NEW section very much ! It’s been a while since I took the program. Nice to refresh and know that we ll always have access !
Glad to hear you are back for a refresh and enjoying the updated Mastery Program! Thank you for sharing Albina!
I highly recommend the Mastery Program. I have learned so much and continue to do so, improving my skills and knowledge of materials available and techniques. I am 10 months into the course and am really enjoying it.
Go Rose! We're so excited for you and all that you will do as an artist! Thank you for sharing!
I hesitated for some time about joining. I thought that it is not likely to find a great program through FB ads. However, there is always an exception to the rule, and this is the exception in my opinion. I am at the beginning of part 2 of the Mastery Program, and excited about the rest of the program. My only regret is that I didn´t find it sooner :)
You're awesome Monika, I'm sure you found us at just the right time for your journey, and we're glad you're with us now! Thank you!
I really enjoyed doing this painting in the course “Acrylic painting made easy”, because I decided to “let go” of the controlling mind and “swallow” Elli Milan’s words. It’s a privilege to learn by her experience. I have a Lot to learn and my heart craves for more! Adelen from Norway
Thank you for sharing Adelen! It feels so good to let go and paint!
This was a wonderful workshop! I feel like Eli and Constantino went above and beyond with demonstrations and encouragement! I learned so much and met such wonderful people!
We're so glad you enjoyed the workshop Felicia, we hope to have you join us again sometime!
I am loving everything about the Mastery Program! I have just commenced the program but I have received great support from all areas! From Grace Bradshaw helping me at the outset, and at the onset to having great coaches, easy to access videos & sources, & everything online works seamlessly. Even though it’s online, it’s very social during our coaching check-in & our group is now talking about arranging a retreat in Australia! I am so glad I joined! Thank you to everyone involved in making this such a fantastic program, I am truly grateful to be part of it! ❤️❤️❤️
An Australian retreat sounds amazing Lisa! We're thrilled to know your experience has been good and you feel supported. Thank you for sharing!
