A Studio of Light

Miano Academy’s primary mission is to provide accessible, high-level artistic education in Realist drawing and painting at an affordable cost to artists.

“This is what the great artists of the past knew. But we’re bringing it back. We found it. We found the treasure.”

Miano Academy Apprentices
Illuminate the Art World!

“The classical realism instruction offered by Miano Academy of Art is an excellent opportunity for personal growth in craft and technique while confidence building skills are underscored by director and primary instructor, Charles Miano. Not only is this an accredited, full-time atelier, but in-person, part-time, and Zoom classes supplement the offerings. Miano’s meditative philosophies, in combination with detailed instruction, can benefit anyone interested in advancing their drawing and painting expertise. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed these classes with the added benefit of meeting like-minded aspiring artists.”
