    Thank you so much Dimitra and MAI for sharing these videos they are really very helpful!! And Dimitra kudos to you for sharing your techniques, most people are still to much in a lack mentality and want to keep everything secretive🙏. It is powerful and abundant to imagine how art is going to take over the world and make everything just a bit more beautiful! I love that we are all contributors to that through helping each other while we keep creating new things in our own unique way ❤

    What holds people back is not having a jumping board like dimitra did as a child. She knew people and had a family galley show..most don’t have that privilege….but I love the Milan family and all the knowledge they give the community..❤❤❤❤

      Yes, these are the two main points to become successful. 👍 I've painted all my life, did two art schools, and other studies, had a life filled with lots of obstacles and hardships. I know a lot of people, and also lots in art. But, I wish now that some magic happens that a good benevolent person helps propulse my art work. 🙏🌟🤍

      Don't let that hold you back, don't compare - you've got your own magic in you, work on that, and if you want it enough you'll find your own way. Grow your signature style, tell everyone you meet about it, share it and your clients will come - believe in yourself ❤

    Dimitra, you have the most amazing touch, with those magic hands. You are a phenomenal artist. I am on the waiting list. It is definitely you and your mom that i need to learn from. You and your family are the most generous people, to share all of your artistic knowledge to others. Ive been watching you all for a while now and feel like i know you all. Your a family that is very easy to like. Thank you all.

    I am currently enrolled in the Mastery Program and am sharing my journey on my channel. I am currently in Section 2, where I am honing my voice. I am truly passionate about this program and couldn't be more pleased. Ellie and Dimitra generously share their expertise, though I do wish I had discovered this program earlier in life.❤

    Thank you so much for sharing your process, Dimitra! This looked to be so much fun while painting it, and it was so helpful to hear your explanations along. As I have no separate studio so far and need to paint in my living-room, I will cover all stuff tomorrow and try out this technique 😄. I hope it will help me to be more loose in my style. And the idea of first painting the background and then place the object onto it in a photo-app is great! Thank you all so much at Milan Art for providing content like this for free!

    Hello I've been doing a lot of dabbling and abstract backgrounds Just loving it. Between tin foil and tissue paper in addition to my acrylic paints and inks thrown all in there. I thought the pixelmator would be a wonderful idea to see what your actual object would look like against the abstract that I make.😊 But of course when looking it up I realized it's a Mac and the only suggestions that I'm getting are for photographs I'm not interested in photo art I'm trying to get something similar to what you're working with. May I ask what you would suggest for Androids like a Google pixel 7pro or 8 pro. And the only tablet I own is an HD fire tablet which is owned by Amazon not Google. But my laptop is a regular Microsoft 10 Or I can change it to 11 if I must. Please I really need your help and suggesting a similar application or if anyone else has any comments towards this ❓ would be great ..Thank you
    Big hugs. I'm so happy that I found you on UA-cam. This is exactly what I've been looking for and helping me with ideas and techniques that I'm just not thinking of. And the inspiration needed to do so. Thank you again and big hugs 🤗

    I've been looking around, but from the marks she gets I'm not sure what material it is. Thank you guys!

    So you make a Twomblyesque doodle grid (I cannot believe I’m putting those three words together), grab an image from, well, anywhere, effectively trace it onto the surface and finesse it into a style, I guess. Looks like a David Bromley, with about as much substance too. Never mind spending a year studying Bridgman or anything that’s going to teach you actual anatomy, just become a commercially viable Insta-artist in five easy steps in five easy payments of…. SMH. Blurrrr…. Thing about art is there’s no heuristics, kids. Don’t give these charlatans your money, for the love of Van Gogh! This is a souped up crafting workshop come new age MLM
