I LOVE my painting process, especially the beginning. For an artist, enjoying your process is so important, and it’s unique to you and your temperament. It looks like just putting paint on a canvas, but in reality it is deep and profound and spiritual. When you discover what you find beautiful and start asking why, you connect with yourself in a deeper way. And then others can connect with you and even with themselves on a deeper level. That’s why art is so moving, because it’s this profound way

Working with spray paint is exhilarating. Much of it is covered and hidden in the final painting, but I just love the process and the patterns and marks that show through and live to speak their mind. Have you tried acrylic spray paint? | Elli Milan

I painted this piece for our Vivid Color Alchemy course, and it was so satisfying to see how these paints defy the limits of typical oil paint. They allowed me to create a fiery glow that recedes and a bright turquoise that pops forward. My mind does flips and my heart jumps when I see what these colors can do. 😍 You can get your own set at milanartstore.com! | Elli Milan

For years, I stayed locked into painting really slow moving paintings that were realistic and tight. I sat for hours slowly blending and mixing perfect color and trying my best to follow my source photo exactly. But one day I realized, I love surprises. I love to be spontaneous. I move fast and wanted my paintings to change and transform quickly. I love to splatter and throw paint. I love spray paint and making somewhat violent marks. I love not knowing exactly what is next. Once I started to pr

You don’t have to wait for the perfect conditions to create. One of the best ways to really understand this is to paint A LOT. Even if you’re not in your studio, you can still be creative and make something. I’ve made so many paintings and sketches while traveling. Not all of them are the greatest ever, but I look back on them with affection because I can see how just continuing to create no matter what has led to growth and breakthrough.

Why when we look at that perfectly placed brushstroke with just the right value and shade of color, do we feel something? You can almost feel the life of the artist and her story behind each and every mark and gesture of paint. When you collect art and share your collection with others you are promoting beauty and life. You are amplifying the artist’s story and our collective story. You are filling the narrative with beautiful ideas and emotional connection at a time when it is so needed. I sat

You don’t have to limit yourself to one subject matter. The more you paint, the more you will develop a visual language that becomes associated with your work, and that language will find its way into whatever you’re painting. What kind of subject matter do you want to experiment with that you wouldn’t normally paint? | Elli Milan

Paint what ignites your passion, what truly gets your motor going! 💫 Don't paint for others, paint for yourself. You don't need everyone to love your work, just a core group of 100 superfans who resonate with what you authentically create. It's about staying true to your authentic self and finding those who connect deeply with your vision.
