The Milan Art Institute Mastery Program: Part 1.1 Subtractive Painting

Hey friends 💜 I wanted to pop in here because this video reflects my experience with the old version of the Milan Art Institute Mastery Program. Since then, they’ve made some really significant updates—and my perspective has changed. I just posted a brand new, fully updated review sharing my current experience. If you’re considering the program, I definitely recommend watching that first:    • This Milan Art institute Update Changed My...   Updated March 21, 2026 *********************************************************** I'm so happy to be starting this series on my work and experience as a self-directed art student with the Milan Art Mastery Program. In this first section we covered contour and perspective drawing, focusing on measuring and proportion. We also learned the basics of oil painting and did our first painting using the subtractive oil painting method. I loved it so much I did it twice, and check out the before and after with improvements from just the first lesson! I am totally in love with oil paints. Have you tried oil painting yet?
