Start Painting like an Impressionist (Free Workshop)

Vincent Van Gogh had a very iconic style and is one of the most well-known impressionist painters. In this workshop, professional artist Dimitra Milan demonstrates some techniques to not only emulate Van Gogh's style, but to take elements of impressionism and incorporate them into your own unique personal style.

@@milanartapp thank you my husband and I plan to retire next spring, so I will have more time to paint and maybe we can work this in thank you

[@Dita66]

Thank you so much for all the time you spend for free and show how you work. Restaurators are saying……Gamvar…….let your oilpaint dry for 3 months before varnishing…..not after one week. When they get a painting after a show, and the painting is varnished fast after finishing beacause of the death line, therefore the painting got be damaged. The restoration is very difficult because the gamvar isn’t hard enough. It was something like this. Gamvar tells you you can varnish wet paint when it is dry. But it’s better to wait a period so the paint inside is also dry. Not only the top layer.

[@phoenixrising833]

Wow! So much negativity. Let's be kind and Thankful this video is free by the way. Attitude of Gratitude. Thank you for your time and knowledge ❤

[@dianecharest8365]

Dimitra, you are amazing. Phenomenal! You have a style thats out of this world. Also, congratulations to you and Jake on your beautiful baby.

[@ladysongster]

Wow, such rude commenters...stop complaining! 😠 Thank you Dimitra and Jake! Your content on this channel is always great...so helpful and informative! Much appreciated! ❤

[@nataliebarat1186]

I saw your message and I started looking but didn't see any rude comments, unless they were removed?

[@alsokristin7308]

Dimitra is such a wonderful, gifted artist! Congratulations with your son, Dimitra and Jake.

[@cacevedo07]

Trolls will always be trolls, they are expressing their jealousy and negativity. Please keep posting your videos, we're learning a lot from them. I'll take your master class later.

[@Timb327]

I have over 100 paintings of acrylic -hiding in my closet from the last few years of painting. I'm so excited to pull them out and change them with oil, which I've never used before. Thanx for inspiring me.

[@madelineschroeder7026]

The whole point is to create your own style while being inspired by others. This video inspired me. I very much enjoyed Dimitra’s creative freedom and Jake’s fun commentary. Thank you!

[@user-ht3hn8qq8d]

We can be a critique, i think its one way to learn but just please say it in a nice, respectful way. No offense just sharing my thoughts....we must be grateful for such videos trying to share their talents for free.... i need it, im a frustrated artist☺️

[@justaperson1144]

I think Van Gogh painted straight from tubes, hence the thick ovate shape of his strokes. It cost his brother a fortune to supply him if I recall my art history correctly. Pretty cool having his relative in here though!!

[@paintingplantlady1003]

I love her tips and techniques, appreciate y'all very much! On another note, music is a bit too loud and distracting.

[@gloriamargolis581]

To me it’s a matter of multi layering and the more you layer it’s like building on a beautiful Rose

[@tss222]

I love your studio set up , in-depth tutorial, music and painting results! Very inspiring, thank you!

[@tigerlilly1975]

I was so surprised when l watch the outstanding artist l did realize you could use both acrylic and oils together! I just use acrylics.

[@persia888]

Awesome! Thank you ❤🎉

[@arlinejernigan]

I am saving for the program. I have been painting for over 20 years, but my aim is to completely transform my mindset around making money as an artist. I need a lot of help in this department. I am seeing other courses on youtube that help the artist become more professional, but I am really drawn to you guys, and your program definitely seems to be the most comprehensive. . I have my voice and style, but refreshing my skills is always a good idea. I will say that I have been watching these art social videos and since I have made the decision to invest in my art more, I have begun cleaning my art studio and am rearranging it so that I can up my production, and so that I want to be in there for longer amounts of time. My studio was feeling gross and needed a deep clean, and I had a lot of resistance for some reason, and now it is already feeling better, and the inspiration is flowing more freely. I plan to build ( or rather have someone build for me) a couple of the wall easels, because I work of many paintings at a time. I know these will be helpful and better than my current set up. I love to work on the floor too, but I am looking forward to the easels.

[@milanartapp]

It makes us so happy to hear that we've helped you in your journey as an artist. We can't wait for you to experience the transformation that you have waiting for you through the Mastery Program. :) You definitely are on the right track in terms of cleaning up your studio and getting prepared for success!

[@lidahusek9069]

Your painting approach actually helped me to understand Vincent better. Thank you. Your art is beautiful❤

[@user-ht3hn8qq8d]

I come across your video, i love your style. Please include in the colors you used, mix to come to produce other color... thank you for sharing your talent. I love painting since i was a kid but cant afford to buy the materials & no free tutorials available back then. Btw im 63 yr old

[@vanessacourt265]

What a gorgeous baby congrats and only 3 months ?? He looks ready to paint. Such a happy child soooo very very gorgeous. Your mom and you, Jake and your family must be enjoying him the best job in the world. Thank you for showing him I was wondering how you were doing xxx love to all

[@lisengel2498]

I love the light and style of impressionistic painting and the different possibilities when using ACRYLIC as a base and continuing with Oil and also Oil and cold wax - it so much fun - joyfull painting process - 🎶🧡🎵

[@c.k.m.8134]

I love how you're relaxed and sincere in your manner and answers. I hope you move to Sarasota. Hmm...an art school besides Ringling? Zowie! Beautiful art, always

[@sofianavarrete1311]

Loved your workshop, I will look into more of them.

[@milanartapp]

Please do! Glad you liked it.

[@RodneySeay]

This was great! Video just popped up while I was painting so I decided to watch it. Not sure how long it was but I stayed the entire time. Such talent and learned a lot. Thank you for sharing guys😁🙌🏻

[@luckyduckyart291]

I liked listen to both of them. Interesting to watch and learn from. There are a lot of rude comments on here.

[@marciavansart9308]

You will love sarasota. A great art community!

[@Mary_Martha_MaryKay]

I just found the Milan family and the institute. I am not an artist but I just can't stop watching. I am going to go and get some art supplies and try it. Hugs to everyone at the Milan Institute from Texas!

[@sunshinejenny5536]

Thank you so much for the video! Sweet baby! Congrats!! You will enjoy FL! I am soooo excited you are coming here!!!! I live in North Central FL. There is soooo much ART here and it is green and surrounded by water. As opposed to the dry desert in the West.

[@user-qb7pw3ld8z]

Very well😮❤

[@sicsadw0rld]

Good luck in your marriage and your move. Things may seem difficult and overwhelming. Always follow your gut and just know things always fall into place eventually. When you dont listen to that inner voice, they take longer in both your professional and personal life. I know you do that already but don't waver my friend! Sometimes what makes you happy isn't what makes other people happy but you're not living for them, your alive to live your best life and you are doing awesome.

[@alisturkericmacnanty159]

Great lesson, looks like a blend of Van Gogh and Monet.

[@reyno6826]

In my research their art supply sets are so much better than anything else I can find. I am saving up for them. And then I'll save up for the master program. I hope I can get there before they raise the price to $300 a month

[@nickyscott3945]

Thanks you inspired n interesting n development to Paint I am still learning about paint n I love art n want to learn more. Looking forward to more channel video Thanks u 😊 👍🏾 I want artist one day n want be professional art 😊

[@vaneta6937]

Do you find it easier to do your style using larger canvas or do you use also paint on smaller canvas such as 8x10 and still have the energy flow on the small canvas?

[@songoftheYOUniverse]

Thank you so much for sharing this for free. I wish I could afford the mastery program. But I believe I will find a way. Much love and light to all 💫🎨

[@theexperimentalartist]

I've not had steady income in over a year and I took the leap to take the course exactly one month ago. Absolutely no regrets. Loving it so far! I should be in week 4, I'm in week 12 with a few pieces drying from prior weeks. I put in 6-8 hours per day and skipped the break.

[@annatorrellas8128]

What's the purpose in letting the paint drip?

[@kellycarter8328]

I paint with watercolors I just picked up my paints after close to 15 yrs. of not touching a brush. I would love to try different media. I have checked your classes out. With my work schedule I will be signing up in mid March. Can't wait.

[@milanartapp]

Yay! Super exciting!

[@sreedevi92]

Hi your painting reminds me of Roerich 's style. It's beautiful ❤

[@larryhavens4171]

I enjoy your painting and also painting myself but I’m going blind so I don’t have too muscular time lefts…. So0ry but some days I can’t see at all. Si recorded this so I can watch wheni have sight. I enjoy your demonstration

[@Restore-truth]

Hi it’s Cristina from Miami another great video tyou guys❤

[@zentmyer37]

Thank you for this excellent demonstration. I loved every swipe and all your comments. You are blessed to have your family background. Now partnershipping with your husband.. I have visual challenges, having double vision allways. Because of that I have so much difficulty with the "view I see". I need to have an uncluttered environment. Visual distractions come with everything everywhere. I continue to enjoy a creative life. I tell you about my vision issues knowing you would offer support to someone like me. Your background around your work area. I have learned a lot, watching video class. A clear background would be so much better for me. You are very articulate. Your parents prepared you well by nurturing your God given talents. If I were closer to you I would show up to meet you and to neater up your painting display area. Continued blessings to your dear family. I m glad you baby has taken on your goodness. Dolores

[@be4realz]

????? Im so glad i found this. Is the program, go at your own pace or, how does that work?

[@olivia777]

Where can i find a video from you to learn about colors? That picture BTW is absolutely perfect!! This will be my style! 😁

[@katsiggy1]

I like realism this is hard for me. Abstract is very difficult but I always love my under painting the most it’s so freeing then so ridged when finished. I had gamba varnish crack I used inks with acrylic they must not have been dried enough. Never tried oil’s yet. I’m a messy painter. I wear it.

[@marie3934]

Hi Everyone !!! Question, How am I able to watch those Art challenges, I saw the trailer and would enjoy watching your Art challenges.

[@altheamcnabb2829]

yay

[@tanja-lotta7064]

The lady in the art store said that varnish should be applied on oil paintings only after one year after the painting is made to make sure it is all dry. What time do you recommend to wait with it ?

[@gloriamargolis581]

What music is that your playing ? It’s very conducive I think for painting relaxing in the grove ☺️😊🤗🌈😍🙏

[@lisastephens9703]

Have to wait till may to sign up?

Did I see u dip ur brush in a he red water pot ? Are u diluting the acrylic ?

[@helenehalle3197]

Is it a waste or pointless to mix an opaque with the transparent? TIA

[@marygeer3803]

Are ur acrylics heavy body or fluids?

[@sheilaveenstra243]

Is this painting finished when you stop? Or do you finish it? If you finished it, I’d love to see the final product. (Forgive me if it IS a finished painting. Since the bottom is still white, I’m assuming it’s not done, but that could be your artistic choice?)

[@jacquelinemckellar-garrett589]

How do you know when a painting is finished?

[@rubywhitty9275]

As a 82 year old pensioner and I have put my name on the wait list. The problem I have is that I do not have that amount of money. When you change US dollars into NZ dollars I will be paying $3.200nz . However if I may leave my name on the list for another year until i can pay for it.

[@TheBlackCrayon77]

Lovely painting. Honestly, I don't use galleries...these days there are so many more ways to be independent

[@HappyPaintr]

I signed up for the wait list and was viewing the prep course but had some other tasks to do, and somehow inadvertently got out of the course and can't seem to relocate it. When I try to log in to the mastery course, it doesn't recognize my log in information, but I'm still getting all the emails n such. Has anyone else had this issue?

[@milanartapp]

We’re so sorry to hear that! Did you reach out to our customer support team to get this resolved? The email is [e-mail] We haven’t heard of this issue before but we’ll be happy to help!

[@ShafikKhan-zq8kn]

I wish if the painter had kept the final work infront of dark background. Currently the painting has merged with background and lost it's final look.

[@kmlund42]

Love it but could do without music.

[@janethunter6653]

Is it OK if you don't want one style of painting. I love studying different artist and painting in their different styles. I don't want every piece I do to look the same.

[@Bluebird_Legacy]

1. What is your name. 2. What is your website? 3. Where do/did you show YOUr art, prior to your awakening to your self-promotion?

[@Bluebird_Legacy]

In Addition, Why did you not list your Name, and Website in your Description Box. This video popped up for me- and I do not have time to sit around watching YT all day, generally I will go to the Main Source ; which is the Artist Website, and It is NOT listed, or I have Overlooked this very important detail. It is for this Reason, I won't take the time to watch the video.

[@BJones-yw4dd]

I always have to laugh at oil painters who insist on using products that make their paintings DRY FASTERRRRR! How very 21st Century-American and silly you are. Where's the fire?! Take your time and take advantage of the time this incredible and forgiving medium gives you to get your painting to look the way you want it to. And FYI, oleo gel is a very useful and impasto alternative to cold wax.

[@richardnolan3903]

I think you mean, how very 20th Century-European. Salvador Dali said the same thing in the 1950's.

[@gloriamargolis581]

Are you going to include a bird on the sand?
