This whole experience has been life altering.
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.
