Thank you for creating the mastery program ! Although i still didn t finish it i m already feeling a huge difference in my skills and my art habits. I m more in love with art than ever before. Art is also a healer , so everyone needs to learn the skills in order to be free to create whatever they want and be confident and motivated about it. Also the way the program is designed is perfect for everyone around the world. So thank you for this great gift❤❤❤
We're so incredibly thankful for you sharing this and being a part of this movement of artists! It's true, it does help you fall in love with creating! We're rooting for you and can't wait to see all of the beautiful art that you create
I want to publicly thank God again that on that day when you were sitting at your table Ellie, the Mastery Program came to you! And you did not ignore that but accomplished this dream. Now I am here in the program and working on my portfolio pieces, finding my voice as I go. Thank you Thank you Thank you! You are all so wonderful, honest and kind. You are hard working and operate in a level of perseverance that I greatly admire. i am inspired and I am changed. God bless you leaders of this program.
This is the the second video I heard you mention the color "brown" doesn't exist to the artist. I would have to say, I don't agree! As a black artist I use brown in all of my portrait paintings. I find it be the most beautiful colors for painting my own skin tones. I use raw umber, burnt umber, burnt sienna, and at times sepia. Those are all "brown" colors. Some darker or more red than others. I will add certain greens, raw umber, and yellow ochre to bring out the life in the portrait. I think all colors are beautiful and very much needed. Without the "color" brown I wouldn't be a portrait artist.
It seems they apply their own preference from their own experience as a general statement. In another video, there was a suggestion that hyper realistic painting is more negative and therefore less sell-able. Who are they to say that!!! And btw, i agree with you, they may personally do not work as much with brown in their palette, but each artist develop their own palette through years of work. What works for one does not generally work for the rest. Such general statements are actually dangerous for a beginner.
I think that in this case they mean as artists we don't just see the color brown. We can see it as brown with undertones or red or a bit of green, etc. "Brown" is beautiful! And I know that the Milan's use it in their own paintings all the time 😁
@@alphashanahan4323I think sometimes it seems that they don't advise photorealism when it's really them advising to have a unique style that people can recognize you by!
You guys have been such an inspiration for me to get back into art again after years of feeling too beaten down and discouraged by life's ups and downs to create art. But I truly believe that for those who are creatives, that desire to create is always deep down inside us, even if it may go into hibernation from time to time. So I thank you for being a great source of support and inspiration for the reawakening of the artistic part of my soul.
Oh my goodness! I've been following Andrea and have seen her skyrocket! So inspiring and motivational to hear more about her! What a gal and what a program! Love you guys
Started today!! Unfortunately can't afford mentorship as well at the moment, but hopefully in the near future. Ellie, I feel your passion and also love John's quirky nature. X
Helena I always come to your videos thank you for all you do! A while ago I told you I was looking terrible from nursing and being a new mom and your kind words were so encouraging for me thank you!
This is so exciting! This is everything I wanted. I’m 46. I picked up watercolor art at the beginning of the pandemic. And I’ve picked up using pastels for fun. I’m not very good at what I’m doing, but I believe I can be if I had the proper teacher. My dream is to live in Mexico and live my life being paid as an artist/writer. At this stage of my life, I just want to spend my waking hours working on projects I love for people who can appreciate my efforts.
I’m a trafficking survivor and art helped me find my voice and heal like the man you described. I’m not a master yet but it saved me from suicide and slowly I’m healing.
Thank you so much for this program! I started the beginning of this month and I am loving it so much. I waited for three years to finally do it. So happy I am doing it now!
I just discoverd your channel and i love it , your speaking my language 👍🏻👍🏻im self thought , but im gonne do the the programme , it s really super , i can,t wait to start 🙏🏻🙏🏻😘🙏🏻
I am soooooo glad I found this video. I am in the beginning month of your Mastery Program and was definitely going through all the feelings you talk about. "I am an acrylic painter, I already know this, that, and the other thing!" I almost felt like this program isn't for me but now I know the universe works. I need this program. I will not get to the level I know I can get to without understanding the basics and going from there. I am super excited to get through this and see where it takes me. I am feeling grateful and don't mean to gush, but I did want to share.
I wish I had found y’all before I signed up for another online painting course. 😢 Only because I relate to y’all’s style more. I’ve only finished block one out of 4 in my current program in 2 years. Some of that is life getting in the way but the other is probably always painting with the gray scale 🥹. So depressing. Anyway, I’m praying for the Lord to provide the provision to switch to your program. Oh and Elli talked about paint boogers in one of her videos and I just about died!! I have a painting I have been working on for 3 years and yes, it has boogers and brush hairs. I like them though. So I was super bummed. I figure the Lord gave me the vision and maybe it’ll be my Mona Lisa 😊
I found you guys recently and you are such inspiration, thank you so much! I'm thinking of taking the mastery program, but do you think a 56 year old person should do this?
Can you assess a seasoned practician of art to help personalize her program. Have already had 3 yrs of quality art school and art history MapKit major in college. My greatest weakness is attention -am easily distracted because I forget to plan for things like cleaning, eating, driving here or there. But I am discouraged that have nit sold more
A real artist can and probably will paint with anything.. i knew a fantastic artist who would find a stick and mud and made the most realist art i have ever seen
Two paintings a week. Even though if i didn´t have to work, i could never make just one painting a week. I paint in oils and paint realism. It take me atleast 2-3 weeks to make one painting. But rather that then to make a lot a crap paintings. Not saying this artist do that, but i would, if i had to rush all the time. Though it would be great to get up every day and just paint for ours and ours and not have to work. Painting for me will never be considered work, even if i lived from it.
I am floored. I cannot believe you said you can't be successful as an artist without learning how to draw. For that matter, you feel that abstract painting is just throwing paint on a canvas? Let alone that the bar is st low for pour painting artists? Holy hell. Knowing how to obtain depth of color in a painting, creating a veil over someone's face, painting velvet, I can do all these quite well and i cant draw to save my life.. I can know perspective, the mechanics of proportions, color theory, how to use various mediums, and yes, I have sold MANY paintings in many venues. I think you just lost a lot of followers with your opinions.
Thank you. I’ll work with you around watercolors if you want to dive in….I agree… it’s a whole other dimension of living… to be able to sit and draw something with precision yet expression and interpretation.
How do you launch art when living on a shoestring budget? NO money even for a Real healthy TINY TINY meal a day. Skipping some days out of the week. DO NOT SMOKE, Drink, walk to work, Basic expense goes to rent , thought of going homeless. but where to store items without being stolen.? Guilds there are Due. Enter a Show MONEY . postage, insurance. Do not money for a movie. to buy a gift. USE to give an art piece as gift, but that ended up more than if I bought a gift on my budget. Stuck with Walmart prices for art supplies, and their prices have gone up. Heat in winter is 50* water heater on vacation. Year after year constant trying, and can not make a dent.
I am a fan of these artists, in general. If I had not gone blind in one eye with macular degeneration and was not also disabled physically and syffering from debilitating pain and unable to work outside the home, I would DEFINITELY give this class a "go," including the mentorship. Will definitely recommend to others. PS. The sales rap of the young man toward the end felt high pressure and REALLY annoying. The product sells itself. Just tell people how to get it, otherwise this video feels like a giant commercial. Ugh.
I HAVEN'T Any MONEY left to take advantage of your offer. ALL SOUNDS GREAT but you REALLY DO NOT TOUCH ON STARVING ARTIST, willing to do 8 hours of art, but to make ends meet , sell dirt cheep. WOULD LOVE To make PRINTS to sell that way. Selling in todays time for 10-15 dollars just to have change for laundry machine, Heat and water heater is switched off, no use of stove refrig. too costly to use. Jugs set in sun can heat up, or a microwave. I see upside down SHAPE not objects. I can't afford a phone so I am borrowing some ones internet while pet sitting. I DO NOT SMOKE, been years since I paid for FAST FOOD, years since I stepped into a REAL CLOTHING STORE.

Dont ever stop. As soon as i am able, i will be in. Thank you.

So you claim to be a portrait painter and don't know how to develop any brown from your primary colors? 😂
If you used brown in your profile pic, I wouldn't worry too much about their opinion on the matter. You're doing just fine.
You guys have been such an inspiration for me to get back into art again after years of feeling too beaten down and discouraged by life's ups and downs to create art.

Man I swear. You guys just speak to soul.....
I just discoverd your channel and i love it , your speaking my language 👍🏻👍🏻im self thought , but im gonne do the the programme , it s really super , i can,t wait to start 🙏🏻🙏🏻😘🙏🏻
This channel makes me want to paint every day. I could get lost in painting for hours
Anytime I would go buy a new canvas, I would tell myself, "all it takes is a leap of faith."
I’ve only just started watching you. ❤ your work

Do you teach soft pastels in your Mastery course?
I am a great and happy artist here in the Philippines thank you. Nick Rodis contemporary art maker.

great program. discount please!!! :P
I found you guys recently and you are such inspiration, thank you so much! I'm thinking of taking the mastery program, but do you think a 56 year old person should do this?
I’m 63 and wondering the same, I love watercolours
Are these prices still current? I just looked and it was $6000.00 for the full program with personal mentorship.
Are any materials included?
Can you assess a seasoned practician of art to help personalize her program. Have already had 3 yrs of quality art school and art history MapKit major in college. My greatest weakness is attention -am easily distracted because I forget to plan for things like cleaning, eating, driving here or there. But I am discouraged that have nit sold more
Have you had any artists who focus on landscape and nature. Like plein air painting. Do you have everyone create artwork that looks like your guys?
Ahhhh ??? WHERE DO I SIGN UP PLEASE- YIKES
Is there link below?
EVERYTIME I try I get another company - lost
Thanks for helping 😃🎨🖌️
Is the mentor an add-on or part of the whole thing?
I think it’s an add-on
Regarding realism, oil is the easiest medium.
Its so much easier than acrylic, watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil.
I loved this ❤from a non inky oil loving person 😂
A real artist can and probably will paint with anything.. i knew a fantastic artist who would find a stick and mud and made the most realist art i have ever seen
Im sad to say it but I did not save enough money for thr mastery Program 😢but next time I will be ready
I would like to take your course but unfortunately more money than I can invest. I've painted in oils and painting in acrylic was an easy transition.
You might enjoy Dr. Carol Dweck’s work: Growth and Fixed Mindset.

DO YOU NEED TO DRAW WHEN YOU CREATE ABSTRACT?
Yes! They spoke about that in this discussion. Around 28:00
I am floored. I cannot believe you said you can't be successful as an artist without learning how to draw. For that matter, you feel that abstract painting is just throwing paint on a canvas? Let alone that the bar is st low for pour painting artists? Holy hell.

I think you just lost a lot of followers with your opinions.
For abstract painting composition and color theory are more important.
Drawing is a foundation for painting just like ballet is a foundation for all other dances.
I too remember the days before internet. I'm from the 1900's.
Thank you. I’ll work with you around watercolors if you want to dive in….I agree… it’s a whole other dimension of living… to be able to sit and draw something with precision yet expression and interpretation.
@40:00 ... in scriptures, god paints a new painting everyday
How many students once the course finished live decently of their art earning 50/60k per year?
