Scott Yeskel's 1 Day Contemporary Boot Camp was a BIG SUCCESS!

Scott Yeskel Packs The House!

Not only has he sold out his abstract painting class at Kline Academy, 

but also his first workshop, which was sold out within 2 weeks, had 

a remarkable outcome! 

Here are the highlights and some photos of the workshop 

Scott started the workshop with demonstrations

We set up 3 stations - still life, landscape and figure painting - and students spent one hour at each station.

Still Life Painting Station 

Lynda's great study from Still Life Station

Scott always comes up with interesting subjects

Figure Painting Station

Susan nailed all the poses at Figure Painting Station

Students focused more on gestures 

Landscape Painting Station

Marianne did an impressive job! 

Lastly, Scott had the critique time to sum up the workshop

Everybody did such a great job!

Students produced over 150 paintings in one day and it was AMAZING to see their works all together!

With all students' favors and requests, we will definitely have another boot camp in summer!

Advanced Painting Workshop

Today we finished the first 6 week session of Advanced Painting Workshop with Joshua Elias. This workshop was to develop and hone students' individual artistic voices and prepare their work for exhibitions. 

 

The workshop included some assignments and discussions...

Joshua helped students understand the importance of story and allegory to their work...

Students brought in paintings and talked about why and how the painting succeeds and what needs to be done further to make it succeed...

"You explain with confidence"

Every Painting Is a Journey

"The journey of painting began about 40,000 years of ago, when the caveman dipped their hands in animal blood to mark the walls of their caves, as if to say: I am here, I exist. Since then so much has changed, yet all the while, our journey as a human kind has been documented with millions and millions of brush strokes and paint smears. The tragedies and the achievements of the protagonists of the human story have been captured through the arts"...
