Turn the skills you already have into a portfolio in your own style.
You already draw or paint. If you're like most artists who've learned from a lot of different teachers, your paintings probably look a little like each of them. The Mastery Program helps you find the style that's already in you, paint a series in it, and build a portfolio you can price and sell.
Tell us where you are in your decision, and we'll take you to enrollment or to an advisor. Go at your own pace, with a full refund within 30 days of your start date.
From the portfolio of Elli Milan
Paint a series that people recognize as yours.
Elli Milan teaches that when every painting you post looks like it came from a different artist, people stop trusting what you're about, and they stop following. Your style is what fixes that, and it's already in you. The Mastery Program helps you dig it out.
Put your style on one page, then paint five paintings from it
In the Voice part of the program you try inks, spray paint, collage, gold leaf and symbolism, and you notice what you keep reaching for. You put it all on one page, called your style recipe, then spend three weeks painting a series of five canvases that follow it.
Get a critique on every painting you make
A coach gives you feedback on every piece. You also get two years of weekly group coaching on Zoom, with live critiques and Q&A, so you know what to change before you start the next painting.
Build a portfolio, then learn to price and sell it
The Portfolio and Business part turns your series into a cohesive portfolio and teaches the business around it: pricing, presentation, your website, and how to let others sell your art for you.
The program still opens with drawing, acrylic and oil foundations. The lessons are on demand, so the parts you already know can go quickly.
Look at the seven portfolios above, and you can tell each artist apart at a glance.
The paintings rotating at the top of this page come from seven artists. Elli Milan and Dimitra Milan teach the Mastery Program. Rita Vicari, Casey Wakefield, Tanya Aubut, Tanya Johnston and Briana Hume went through it.
Each of them paints art that belongs together: the same subjects, color and marks from one canvas to the next, so every new painting adds to one portfolio. That's what the program builds toward for you, with a style recipe, a series of five paintings that follow it, and a portfolio you can price and sell. More than 9,000 artists have enrolled.
