This is the best decision I have ever made. I first came across The Milan Institute over a year ago watching workshops & outstanding artist on YouTube, I was so excited about the whole idea of the program. Having the option of the waiting list to prepare with no commitment was a complete game changer. You are never alone on the program and there are always someone who you can ask for advise either in the Milan art community from other students, mentors or coaches. I am starting my 3 week on the program and have already learnt so much.

Joining The Milan art institute was one of best decisions I have made. I was hesitating for a year, watching their free videos but when I joined it was another level of experience. They have really made a master job with the programme. So detailed and full of useful guidance. I highly recommend to anyone who has passion for art and would like to follow their dream. 🥰

Enrolling in the Milan Mastery Program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. This online art course didn’t just teach me how to create beautiful artwork—it completely transformed my approach to creativity, skill-building, and even the business side of being an artist. From the moment I started, I was immersed in a rich world of art mediums, techniques, and historical art masters, gaining insights that deepened my understanding and appreciation of art. I learned how to work confidently with different materials, experiment with new styles, and refine my artistic voice. What truly set this program apart was its comprehensive approach. It wasn’t just about making art—it was about thriving as an artist. The program covered marketing strategies, website building, sourcing materials, and even how to turn creativity into a sustainable career. These invaluable lessons helped me not only improve my craft but also how to establish myself professionally in the art world. Through this journey, I gained not just knowledge but confidence. My creativity has soared, my skills have sharpened, and I now feel empowered to share my work with the world. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, if you’re looking for a program that will push you to excel and truly transform your artistic path, the Milan Mastery Program is the perfect choice.

I am loving the well organized instruction and support from the Milan Institute. They have given me a wealth of information and support to grow my artistic skills. My painting and drawing has improved a ton since I started the program. I highly recommend it.

The Milan Art Mastery Program taught me how to paint with oils in a way that I had never known before. This has added depth and dimension to my paintings. By introducing me to a wide range of mediums they helped me discover the style in which I like to paint. It’s uncanny and synchronistic how Eli will randomly address whatever is getting in the way of believing in yourself and your art. It’s as if she’s in your head.

This family has what it takes to get anyone who wants to develop art skills,GROW DEEPER! You can take the Milan’s at their word! They aren’t afraid to help others dive in to become a professional artist. I’ve learned so much in this program. I’ve followed their advise, been challenged, frustrated, kept going when I wanted to give up. Instead, I learned to believe in myself, that I have something to offer the world with what I create! I’m still learning, and creating. I’ve sold several pieces all before graduating. The platform is like nothing else I’ve seen. If you’re looking for confidence, critique, a warm friendly, caring environment to grow, Milan Mastery program is it!, they take guess work out of process in oils and other art mediums. Their Support team actually follows up with you. They have proven to be hardworking and honest, I love it! They are my new forever family!

The Milan Mastery program gave me lots of new knowledge in many different techniques and with several materials. Combining mixed media with oil paint is something I'm fascinated by and like. I feel like I can paint whatever I want now.

I joined the Mastery Program after 10 years of being a professional artist. I had been self-taught, using information from YouTube artists and my own experiences and connections locally. However, I knew there were things I didn't know that I didn't know ;) Right from the beginning, this program has been incredibly useful. My art now has a foundation of skill and I am much more confident in the materials I use. I have moved away from using only one of my own photo references for my paintings and instead create references using a digital collage of my photos, and even then I go "off script". I receive generous and positive feedback for my work, especially in my use of colour. The Mastery Program has helped me see colour in a different way to bring my artwork to life. The teaching is thorough, well documented, and enjoyable. I am very grateful for this experience and for all that the Milan family and their staff continue to provide.

So much thought has gone into the whole process of becoming/being an artist. From the mindset and assumptions that may be holding you back to positive actions to master your materials, explore techniques, work your process and know your voice. There is all the business information too. Invaluable! The course seems to attract kind and caring people all rooting and helping each other and it’s great watching others grow and develop into amazing artists before your very eyes. As well as seeing how far you can get too in a relatively short amount of time. It’s a great and unique experience that I hope to be a part of for a long time to come.

I love learning and I enjoy working in an orderly sequence of lessons. I am thrilled with the content; it is especially fun to engage in the video lessons since the teachers are all darling and fun to watch as well as to follow carefully. The support people are an amazing help as technology is a bit daunting. I am catching on! I think the guidelines are very helpful in creating an atmosphere of kindness, encouragement and sophistication. The Zoom meeting mentors are a great support; very accepting of ones level and so welcoming. Very advanced groups. I appreciate that I got advice to use Cobra water soluble, instead of the Windsor Newton, which I returned. My lung specialist advised me to use a good mask, so things are working out well. The key is the mediums. Thank you for creating this wonderful program. I have wanted to learn painting techniques for years. So grateful. In New York Art World students are considered the competition so definitely not encouraged! It is amazing that you actually have techniques you truly want to teach to others! This program and it's incredible intentions blows me away!

This whole experience has been life altering for me. I am a 71 yr old who has only painted for 18 yrs in oil impression. Right now, I am quite far behind schedule, just starting Part 2 of 4 Parts after almost a full year. I am also a sole care-giver for a loved one with PD dementia. That takes up most of my day. However, the hours I do get into my studio are essential to my mental well-being, as well as boosting my morale, and empowering me as an artist. I prayed that God would give me a sign to let me know if I should spend the money on the Mastery Program offered by Milan Institute. One day, while searching through my files for something, I literally came across a 6 month old check from a bank for an overpayment on a credit card for the exact amount I needed for the Mastery Program. It was beyond anything I could have expected, but a very clear answer from God that I should take the course. For an Impressionistic landscape painter to learn so many new skills, methods, and techniques from such a spirited group of young coaches, this has given me a whole new approach to my work. While I may not be able to make a full-time living selling my art once I graduate, like some of the younger students, I know I will have experienced much that I never learned in other lessons, books, and a multitude of workshops over the years. These classes are very detailed and informative, with critiques and affirmative input from coaches every single day. By the time I have completed the Program, I know I will have added portraits and abstracted realism to my repertoire. These new skills and new friends will give me much more to offer the World as an artist in this exciting era in art.

This was a dream come true for me, always wanting to go to art school from the time I was in high school, many moons ago! 🤣 I had learned basic painting and drawing abilities on my own, but after taking the Mastery Program my skills have far exceeded what I ever dreamed! Milan Art’s methods, inspiration and vision of artist changing the world and giving us the tools to do so instead of accepting the starving artist restrictions was earth shattering! I will never be the same and feel like I have been launched into a new season of my destiny as an artist. I can’t thank you enough!!

Learning so much!

The Milan Art Institute is a fabulous, inclusive space where students and staff are invited to share their work and receive valuable feedback from coaches and mentors who have been on the same journey. If you want to change your life and inspire others this is the program for you, it will definitely change your life

I learned so much in a short time. The team is explaining all in a language that everyone understand. The deepness of Elli is just amazing.Thank you for being so open. Maybe an open chat ( for a specific time in a the week) for support of teachers would be nice, if you can not afford a privat teacher.

It was the best experience I ever had! really I can only recommend anybody to enroll and be part of this wonderful experience!

The Milan art team is extremely generous and supportive . I have enjoyed the Mastery Program all the way . I am still reviewing the program eventhough I ve finished almost a year ago. The videos are very rich and full of detailed instructions. To conclude , I can say that this was the best decision I ve ever made regarding my art career.

It is more than they promise. Trust me! First I thought it can’t be that good… I was sure the things which were written in the reviews were totally exaggerated! But: they are not! Honestly! I am a fan of every detail and even if the first part - what I am actually doing right now - is hard sometimes, you learn soooo much! It makes all sense and it is so much fun and I can already see so much progress in my art!

Really excellent resources! The Mastery programme takes you from beginner and really thoroughly trains and teaches you step by step how to draw and paint well, giving excellent tips on how to go from good to great. Each tutorial breaks down learning into bite size chunks allowing you to process what you've learned, and it intuitively leads into the next tutorial to help you start from a good foundation and then build on that.They have really mastered merging the drawing and painting process into one, something that is quite disconnected in teaching in general. This team will inspire you, and train you to be the best you can be. They don't hold back on their art secrets and all they have learned along the way. If you are looking to get out of your rut and actually get serious about pursuing your art as a career, this is your one stop shop, you will not be disappointed, the course is worth its weight in Gold. Don't waste anymore time, sign up today. You will be so grateful you did!!! I have done art at school and a Graphic design degree and career and I learned more in 2 weeks than I have ever known about art...

When I decided to join the Mastery Program, I know that the journey will be amazing. I learn a lot with all the videos. The Milan Art choice to teach by example, showing us exactly how to do, is an amazing way to improve your skills very quickly!!!! Moreover, the group coaching is a really efficient group. When I post some of my assignments, I can read the feedback of three or four coaches in the day and the detailed critique is always high quality comments !!!
