Scott Yeskel

Teaches at Kline Academy of Fine Art

Scott Yeskel is a regionally acclaimed oil painter who paints both representational and abstract cityscapes mostly of L.A. In the tradition of Diebenkorn, Richter and De Kooning. This juxtaposion leaves the work diverse on many levels. Yeskel's abstracts, layered in thick strokes of oil, speak of incorporial places that harken back a mood or feeling from particular environments he has been. The representaional work, on the other hand, leaves an impression of a snap shot gone by.

    I really liked Scott Yeskel's demo and his attitude in general. It would just be more helpful if it were in person

    I enjoyed taking the 'Abstract' painting class on Monday nights. I signed up four 4 weeks. The sessions were more like open studio time rather than actual instructional classes, so that was a little disappointing as I felt like I did not learn much as it relates to abstract painting. There was some basic instruction on setting up color palette, sequence for applying paint to canvas, and cleaning brushes, all of which can be covered in about 20 minutes. There are also other students/artist of differing skill levels, and who are painting in differing styles in the studio at the same time as the 'Abstract' painting class. I learned more from watching what the other people were doing, than from instruction. Overall, I enjoyed the time but I think it is a lot of money for time shared in a studio. The label of "class" is somewhat misleading.

    My first time drawing portrait from live model. Teacher miguel and assistance were very helpful. The instructor very knowledgeable helped me understand shadows and blocking which I never thought anything about I always just started drawing, that is why my drawings were always off in some way. Very grateful to Miguel. Would gladly take class again for more structure from instructor. Great class.

    It is not a class but a place where artists come to improve and be inspired.

    I only signed up for the 1 day, 3-hour class. I’m a beginner so I was looking for more specific instruction. But the instructor was great, I did learn some basic stuff, and it was a laid back environment. I think it would be better to sign up for the multiple day courses.

    The class was ok however the was not the class I purchased and I was very disappointed in that. I did not have the things I needed because it was a different class with a completely different instructor. :(
