So, you want to be a portrait or figure artist? This class is essential for you. Speed up the learning process, “cut to the chase” and enroll in our new Sight Size measuring for the figurative artist and become a “Classical Illusionist”
Painting the cast using Sight-Size develops the ability to see shapes and proportions accurately, by continuously comparing the drawn shapes with the cast. This class will develop the accuracy of drawing skills, the ability to correctly judge and paint values, and finesse transitional tones and edges to give the painting the illusion of three-dimensions.The three main objectives of this class:
1. Drawing - draw the shapes of the cast in correct proportion, beginning with the big shapes then the smaller shapes.
2. Values- Learn to correctly judge values by using 5-7 tone scale which we will mix on the palette. We will begin by first establishing the three major value relationships: the light shape, the shadow shape and the background.
3. The Illusion of three-dimensions: Finally we paint the transitional halftones and soften the edges of the form. This step gives the painting three-dimensional qualities, and the form will take the 3D qualities of an object sitting in a space.
These are essential skills to have in your tool box as you move forward to painting
portraits, still life, illustrations, etc.What You'll Learn
Draw the shapes of the cast in correct proportion, beginning with the big shapes down to the small shapes.
Learn to correctly judge values by using 5-7 tone scale.
Learn to describe how light travels across the form (your cast)
Turn and soften the edges of the form.
Paint the cast to look like a three dimensional object on the canvas.
Learn essential skills to have in your tool box as you move forward to painting
portraits, still life, illustrations, etc.

Have you ever pondered the various ways of transforming your painting muse into an abstract expression of how or what you feel?
Seems a bit complicated, but worth a shot, right?
Take a photo of a specific scene that you are fond of, whether it's a downtown busy street, the ocean, a sweeping meadow, ect. and begin to understand its rhythm. Is it calm? frantic? Does it overlap in size and shape, is it warm or cool? Next, take your picture and crop it, blow it up, imagine it from a birds eye view.
Starting to sound interesting?
In this course with a working, professional artist, you will learn and develop a system of painting abstract imagery that will make your work grow leaps and bounds. Yeskel will explain the mesh between midcentury abstraction and realism and how it has evolved in today's art world. Learn to paint abstractly while staying in touch with traditional methods and techniques.
What you will learn
Learn a developed system of abstract painting
Learn how to work with emotion, color, rhythm
Learn how to maximize a provocative composition
Learn to paint abstractly while staying in touch with traditional methods and techniques.

Scott Yeskel is an acclaimed oil painter who paints both representational and abstract cityscapes mostly of L.A. In the tradition of Diebenkorn, Richter and De Kooning. This juxtaposition leaves the work diverse on many levels. Yeskel's abstracts, layered in thick strokes of oil, speak of incorporeal places that harken back a mood or feeling from particular environments he has been. The representational work, on the other hand, leaves an impression of a snap shot gone by.
The work is balanced, both focused yet off kilter, sharp yet skewed. His bold color choices mix with various muted hues to pull together truly contemporary views of urban sprawl, and modern living.KLINE ACADEMY of FINE ART

Drawing is the foundation of Art and is an essential practice for every artist. I have a firm belief that anyone can learn to draw and "talent" is really just another word for "dedication and passion"!
In this course, we will focus on the techniques set forth by the Ecole Des Beaux Arts, a French Academy that turned out some of the best artists of the 19th century. Working from Drawings by Charles Bargue and from Classical Casts, you will have the opportunity to learn the techniques of Sight Size and Comparative Measurement in order to accurately draw what you see...and have fun!
Working in Graphite and Charcoal, students will learn the language of the line and the beauty of these traditional mediums. You will feel like you are transported right into a French academy! This class is designed for all levels.
Not sure this class is for you? I encourage you to just drop in for a few sessions and give it a try! This drawing course is an invaluable tool for any artist.
What you will learn
Measuring proportions, establishing angles and refining shapes
Tone and finalize shadow shapes
Rendering forms and focus on values, edges
Historical techniques for rendering: hatching, line weight for emphasis, form emphasis, mass emphasis
Tools and tricks for helping you see shapes and values accurately
Live demonstrations and personalized instruction to help you learn faster
