Milan Art InstituteReviews of milanartinstitute.com

First- I’ve ONLY done 1 of 4 parts of the program . So far here’s my experience -PRO: Great people who genuinely love teaching and sharing their knowledge- I think the institute is a great idea- BUT Con: I was excited to learn how to make art and while I knew I would have to pay extra for a coach on top of the couple thousand(!!!!) I paid for the course, I didn’t realize how totally alone I would be trying to learn the content-,the “community” is largely promotions. The techniques for monster portrait & charcoal portrait are extremely confusing. Some instructions are clear but the rest - no idea. I honestly can’t tell the advantages of Milan vs Domestika or other art teaching platform except it’s organized for a year upfront instead of individual lessons purchased. So far not worth it and very disappointing. Also, the students art all looks like Eli & Dimitra’s - and that’s not the style I want but I didn’t realize that would be the focus . However, I’m praying God will guide me on how to do the art assignments on my own and hopefully the upcoming assignments will make more technical sense. Reply to Milan: I would have to pay $100 a month on top of the $2k I spent for the course for group coaching- again, not something I can do at this time.

I enjoyed the workshop although I struggled with flesh tones and I can’t stop myself from blending too much!

It is hard to get around on your site. It would be much easier if it would go to your classes and say part 1 I never found the reference or map to portraits class. Also want to know how they got the picture from warm and cool to show. Thank you

I am almost finished with the mastery program, and I found it to be more informative in the business side of being an artist than the 4 years as a BFA major. The coaches give great feedback in how you can improve, and my work was elevated super fast. I have an upcoming gallery show, and I am thrilled. This program gave me the confidence and skills to reach toward my dream.

I learned many things about color mixing that I had never learned on my own, and I am so grateful for that. The process Elli teaches makes so much sense, it gave me confidence that maybe I can succeed in this after all.

I learned so much from the class. I still need a lot of help but I’m getting better thanks to all the tips and techniques. I am also taking the drawing and oil class.

I always love the exceptional instruction and content that I get from Ellie. I’m not finished my portrait yet, but I’m going to need a lot more practice.. The course was fabulous! Thank you

I enjoyed this experience so much, Elli is a very good teacher and explains how to paint each step in detail. It was such an exciting process and I loved how the painting turned out.
