Lessons are individually suited to any skill level, through regular one-on-one critiques during each session. They are designed to meet students where they are, and to methodically build drawing and oil paint-handling skills needed to make beautiful and compelling paintings and drawings. All student levels are welcome. Weekly classes are taught by lead instructor, B. J. Parker, PhD. Please drop by for a free initial class to see what we do.

BJ Parker has been designated as an ARC (Art Renewal Center) Associate Living Master.

BJ has dedicated himself to becoming a realist artist with the wish to express our shared humanity through the visual arts. In addition, an ARC “Associate Living Master™ has shown significant skill in all of the building blocks of great art as defined by the ARC. He has further developed his skills, experience and body of work to the point where he will be in striking distance of becoming a full ARC Living Master. As such, all GACA classes are ARC accredited.

Late enrollment can be pro-rated. Classes may also be pay as you go, to allow for flexibility.
