A Note From Your Instructor

Dimitra-round-headshot-1

Hi Artist,

Have you ever wondered how to create portraits that do more than capture a likeness—portraits that connect deeply and speak to the viewer’s soul?

If you’re ready to learn how to paint stories that inspire and sell, this Masterclass is exactly what you need.

I’m Elli Milan, and I’ll be your instructor. With over 28 years of experience as a professional artist, I’ve helped artists worldwide unlock their potential and build art careers at Milan Art Institute.

You’ll also learn from my daughter, Dimitra Milan, whose stunning portraits are celebrated for their emotional depth and unique style.

In this class, we’ll show you how to mix vibrant skin tones, achieve accurate proportions effortlessly, and bring life to your portraits with confidence.

Dimitra and I will guide you in painting portraits that go beyond the surface—helping you reveal a story with each brushstroke.

We can’t wait to see you inside!
