In some of the older printed books I had seen the still life with animals, or birds included in with fruit, or flowers. as if were invited to a back yard woodland garden. Think the artist was German. There were several created by English , and German Artist in the book. In the old book it included many Crosshatch wild life. I recall the detail in the directions in of lines. Big fat hard cover Dutch/German Bibles. Somewhere I still may have some of the pictures from the book, which my mother would remove. The books were old, and parts were in a fire. I recall the pictures of the art had tracing paper included, as to protect the art prints within the Bible. My Sister just recently gave some of the better books away to friends who spoke the language. I myself am trying to just stick to one type or Realism with wildlife. I am 75, and after all these years managed to have enough art supplies, time to Paint. while one would say Starving Artist. I am borrowing someone internet service, while pet sitting. At moment the modern day phones are no longer in my price range to use. Bell company had discount of 8 dollars a month if one use 30 calls a month or less. And if I were to have the use of internet, and a few other additives included to my phone bill, I would have to give up my cat. I do not feel my age, thankfully, but do know I am on borrowed time. Most of my friends since passed.

My goodness, my son also, at times, helps me with my paintings, especially when it comes to drawing fingers and toes!! Love this video ❤

[@jenniferdirnbauer]

Love this, especially your son stepping in and helping with the drawing of your buck! Family of artists, such an incredible talent to share.

[@dianecharest8365]

Wow! I really want to learn from your institute. I want to paint like you all. How does it work? Btw, you are absolutely beautiful, and so is your daughter.

[@CatWezel66]

😂😍👏You’re amazing Elli!💝

[@sanetjonker5183]

"Happy" to hear that you also struggles some times ..I only have the Hy Spirit to ask ..and must wait for Him to take over ..wish you were nearby ..lov from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@milanartstudios]

That’s exactly right Sanet, everyone struggles from time to time but we have to leave room for Him to take over and receive from Him.❤️

[@monikamrowiec_art]

Beautiful artwork 😍 I really love it, however, I was very surprised that you use spray paints without a protective mask. In another ad, a child used spray paint without a mask. Some of them are water-based, but the pigments are still toxic when inhaled with small particles…

[@deldelly9400]

Love love love this! ❤

[@vkatro]

Sooooo awesome and inspiring😍

[@milanartstudios]

We totally agree ;)

[@balochdurrazai369]

very beautiful painting

[@milanartstudios]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ohthatsjake]

Absolutely incredible. Actually my favorite painting you've made, Elli!!! Inspired me to not use a projector hahaha

[@milanartstudios]

You should! We can't wait for you to make one of these episodes ;)

[@lizzieyeehaw5016]

This is my fave elli Milan painting yet. What did you draw the elements on with after the acrylic started? Black and white … was it china marker or charcoal or chalk?

[@conniepowell7586]

Beautiful Painting

[@tiffanyshiels]

Awsome painting

[@mariaoverlayart]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your process! ❤

[@conniepowell7586]

So what is the source? I don't really understand where your reference "source" comes from?

[@delisaknight8522]

That’s my question too

[@shrutz15]

Elli my favourite 💕💕💕💕

[@loredanaartgallery1862]

Magnific!

[@grozdavranic6972]

[@mangalathatte]

It is absolutely gorgeous .The color combination is very attractive. If you could let me know, what kind of spray paint were you using? Do you have oil sprays? Something new to me.

[@milanartstudios]

She’s using water-based spray paint. There are three good brands: Montana, sugar and liquitex. All three make great colors. You want to make sure that you use the spray paint BEFORE putting any oils on your painting and once you do put oils and can only use lacquer-based spray paint, otherwise the painting won’t be archival and it’ll chip and crack over time and the paint will peel off.

[@mangalathatte]

Thanks for the valuable information.

[@Heatherbailey1]

Love this!

[@MegaZigou]

you are wonderful as your painting zigou from lalinde france

[@AB-kg9hq]

Isn’t it copying when you look at other pictures and paint the same on your canvas? I am an artist and always asked that question. Can you advise?

[@gradosa8272]

I used to work in a place and the rule of thumb was if you change 30% of the image and only use the general feeling it’s ok and your creation. Any other way it’s a copy and you can’t claim or profit it as yours. If you copy is for practical purposes and to develop your skills. Good luck. BTW changing the palette is not enough to count in the 30%.😂😂😂

[@lisabogle]

pretty sure Elli creates her sources digitally by combining several images and adding colour stories etc to the digital piece. She then prints that out as her source for the painting. By doing this she can resolve composition, play with scale and colour story etc and have some of the problems sorted out before she starts painting.

[@amandahilleary2581]

What did you use to draw your design onto the canvas??

[@marcellasmith8942]

Should you spray 'touchup varnish' inbetween the acrylic layer and the oil layer to make sure the oil sticks to the plastic? I've been told you should, but I'm not sure and you never talk about that so interested what you do

[@JanineMKartist]

what is the board behind the canvas? I 've noticed other artists with this set up. I like the idea of it.

[@nadia-bb5mn]

Lovely painting. What are you using to draw the images with over the acrylic wash? Can you use it on the back of a paper to do a transfer?

[@CharlotteLindstromArt]

Stunning painting! I'd love to get some oil paint pens or markers but I can't seem to find any. What is the brand you use?

[@milanartstudios]

That's a great question, we'll check on that!

[@Gi-fz8rk]

Hi, I'm trying to paint in this new process to me where I've always painted in a realistic fashion. Meaning what I see is what I paint, the light and shadows are already there. Now I'm blocking in colors and using images from different sources that all have different lighting. So my question is how do you consider the light source when painting abstract portraits? and is the lighting consistent throughout the painting?

[@peteonart3842]

Nice! What did you use / create the reference image with / from?

[@conniepowell7586]

I just asked the same question and see that you didn't get an answer.

[@peteonart3842]

@@conniepowell7586 Probably part of the Mastery Program! Thanks.

[@aquarius1986]

Hi Elli, what is the white pencil/crayon you're using to draw on the canvas with? Would love to try it. :) Thanks! Amazing video!!

[@loveandreyev4950]

I had a few questions! Where did you source the reference image? Was it created by the artist?

[@milanartstudios]

She created the source by combining over 15 different images😊

[@monikazaremba2726]

Can someone tell me what's this brush at the beginning please? Is it a Silver Brush?

[@StargaardArt]

What kind of projector do you recommend?

[@StargaardArt]

Where did the original painting come from? Is it computer generated?

[@Yvonne.Englert_Art]

0:23 please, where did you get this painting? 🥰

[@sanetjonker5183]

You paint from a picture / painting ..is it yours or where did you get it?

[@milanartstudios]

Yes, she created it digitally using a variety of different reference images and layering techniques and then painted it. You can learn more about the process at masteryprogram.com :)

[@pawanchopra01]

hello...how and where do get your sources

[@WynneTheWanderer]

Do you guys use pixelmator pro? I tried the free version but it doesn’t let me layer images together!

[@milanartstudios]

Yeah that’s correct, you can just do so much more with Pixelmator pro and they’re constantly improving it!

[@krisann3035]

What is the reference material? A photo you copy?

[@demetatahanart]

What is the original of this painting?

[@gamalierbravo8536]

Why we never get to see John??

[@nadia-bb5mn]

I don't have a kid to paint a deer for me, but my husband draws in my trees or at least tells me when they are wrong. He's an arborist.

[@milanartstudios]

That’s amazing!

[@maanya710]

What is the meaning behind your paintings?

[@kaitigrammenou9598]

🌹❤

[@KarynaNationArt]

Would love to know which oil pens you use. Every time I search for oil pens it takes me to vapes, the smoking kind 🙄😭

[@donitafichter8298]

Stilllllllll have no idea how you make your source in the first place 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@hatimkritai7000]

Ìmķķķk❤❤❤❤❤
