You will need some drawing, oil painting, and mixed media supplies to learn and start your new career. When you register, we will send you a detailed list of the bare basics you need and some recommended supplies that are optional. The minimum cost for the whole year will be about $75 for drawing supplies, $400 for oil supplies, and $300 for mixed media supplies. You can buy supplies as you need them. You will only need drawing and oil supplies for the first 4 months. These supplies will last you throughout the whole program and into the start of your career.

When you register, you will be charged $150 for basic subscription or $200 if you upgrade to a coach subscription. You will enjoy this discount each month for a total savings of $600. (This discount is only available until August 5th.)

Each month on the date you registered, you will automatically be charged your monthly payment. You will be charged a total of 12 payments.

From the day you receive your first lesson you have 12 months of access, and an additional 13th month FREE (which is a grace period) to complete the program.

If you do not complete the program in 12-13 months, you will have an option to purchase additional months at a discount. Additional access to content:
3 months- $300
6 months- $450
12 months- $600

We do NOT offer lifetime access because we believe this program will only be effective if it is completely at a 12-18 month pace. It is crucial that you develop strong work habits. The program is designed to be completed in one year so that you will be accustomed to painting consistently. If your schedule affords you to paint more than 20 hours a week, we recommend you do that. The bottom line is: the more you paint, the more success you will achieve.

We offer a 1 month money-back guarantee* within the first 30 days and you can cancel your subscription at any time.

*We do NOT offer a refund for the additional $50 for a coach subscription.

If you stop paying, you will lose access to the program. If you later decide to continue the program and you start paying, you can pick up where you left off. However, we recommend you complete the entire program in a 12-month period to achieve the best results. You can only reactivate from where you left off one time. 

Please notice: If you have a coach and you fall behind the rest of your group, you will have to talk with your coach about what you want to do next, and what your options are at that time.

We do not require a portfolio submission. We only require hard work, commitment and passion. We do not require any previous experience or skill. We know that we can take you from the very basics of drawing a line, to a full-fledged portfolio of your own, to branding and launching your career within one year.

PERSONAL COACH Subscription

The Mastery Program is designed to take one year (52 weeks of content and 2 weeks for orientation). Groups with coaches start the first Monday of every month. 2 weeks before this day, orientation begins to allow you to buy art supplies and prepare your workspace. When the program begins, every week you will receive new content to learn and grow from. You will be going through the program with your coach and a group of students, which will help you to stay motivated and on track. 

This program was designed to be completed in one year, for optimal results. The one year pace we set for you will include intermittent breaks of 1-2 weeks throughout the program that you can use to catch up if you fall behind, travel, take care of personal things or keep working on your skills. The one year pace is designed with you spending 20 hours per week on this program, excluding breaks.

From the day you receive your first lesson you have 12 months of access, and an additional 13th month FREE (which is a grace period) to complete the program. This does NOT include access to a personal coach, only access to the content.

If you do not complete the program in 12-13 months, you will have an option to purchase additional months at a discount. Additional access to content:

You will need to watch 2-3 hours of video content every week. The assignments and exercises will take around 15-20 hours, consisting of drawing and painting.  Also, there are periodic breaks strategically built into the program. From our experience, 20 hours is the recommended schedule of learning to become a professional artist in a year.

A successful art career will only happen through hard work. Once you have launched your business, you will need to paint 40 hours a week on a regular basis. The program requires 20 hours as you are learning and working towards starting your business. If you do not have 20 hours a week to devote to this or you are not committed enough to devote this amount of time, then this program is not for you. But since you are passionate about art and fulfilling your dream of becoming a professional artist, 20 hours a week will be easy for you.

There are no designated class times. This program is designed for the convenience of your schedule during the day. With the personal coaching package you will have designated Zoom (video chat)  meeting times.

Although this program is created for you to follow at your own pace, you cannot skip ahead of the lessons. It is designed so that you must complete each lesson because our goal (and your’s) is to turn you into a professional artist and every lesson is crucial. Each week you will receive new content.

A personal coach is very important to have because you will want support and guidance throughout the program. And while your family members may be supportive and encouraging about your artwork, you need constructive criticism to evolve as an artist. You need people to push your boundaries as an artist and our coaches have years of experience as professional artists and know how to guide you towards success.

You will automatically be assigned a personal coach. All coaches on the team are professional artists who currently sell their work and have all completed the mastery program. They are all very dedicated and experienced and hand-picked by Elli and Dimitra Milan.

Dimitra and Elli are both a big part of the coaching team. They will not be personally coaching students. They will utilize their time working with the coaches and offering their input on critiques and mentoring. They have hand-picked this team of professionally trained coaches.

We do not offer only marketing or any other part by itself. We designed the entire program to give every artist exactly what they need to become a professional artist. Our marketing course can only really be understood and implemented if you have gone through our voice section of the program. Our voice section can only be accomplished if you have learned mixed media and have been exposed to a lot of different techniques and you can only learn to express yourself with contemporary techniques if you have a foundation in classical training. You will get all of this in our one year program.

If you feel like quitting, you are probably feeling discouraged and should talk with your coach about your feelings and what exactly is troubling you. Many people feel like quitting as they pursue their dreams, but only the people who persevere and refuse to quit actually attain their dreams.

There are no age requirements or restrictions. However, we recommend that a young student be able to focus and stay dedicated to their decision to be a professional artist. The youngest student we have taught with this program was 13 years old. She is now 16 years old and selling her work professionally. We also taught a student who was 82 years old. She sold her work successfully in a 3-month-long art show last year.  Passion for art and commitment to a dream knows no age!

You will need a little bit of table space, some space to store art supplies, and an empty wall to lean your easel against, or floor space for your painting easel. Once you start your art business, you may want to designate more space for your production area.

Yes! We offer a certificate. You will have the opportunity to receive a Certificate of Mastery personally signed by both Elli and Dimitra Milan.

You can apply for your certificate by submitting your 30 piece portfolio, specific marketing collateral and website. This certificate is a symbol of your high achievement and perseverance throughout the Mastery Program and signifies you are now a professional artist.

We do not. We have made prices are really affordable for the level of education you are getting. To have 4 years of art school condensed into one year, plus to learn how to market and sell your work for only $200 per month is really incredible. Also we are proud to say that many of our students more than pay for their education by selling their work they create in the classes through out the program.

If you apply all of your knowledge you learned and paint consistently 40 hours a week, you can expect a successful career in art and the financial rewards that follow. If you have a passion for what you have experienced in the Mastery Program and have received your Certificate of Mastery, you can apply for a position of coach. You can also be apart of our affiliate program by recommending artist friends to the program and earn a monthly income.

Many of the graduates from this program are experiencing great success and selling their work consistently. We have found that all the graduates who continue to paint consistently (40 hours per week) and are dedicated to promoting their branded, sellable work are having success. The students who graduate and have not applied what they have learned towards a career, are not experiencing the success. This program is incredible and will prepare you for a lucrative career, but only if you work hard and follow through.
