All skill levels welcome, details below

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.

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.

Tuesday evening classes are taught by Brei Harris. Brei is a dedicated artist and educator with a deep passion for the human form. She earned her MFA from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco in 2008, where she refined her skills in both traditional and contemporary figurative sculpture.

For over a decade, Brei served as a full-time instructor in the Foundations Department at the Academy of Art University. In her role, she designed and implemented a dynamic curriculum that emphasized the core principles of proportion, gesture, structure, value, and anatomy. Her teaching philosophy focuses on demystifying the complexity of the human figure, empowering students to build strong foundational skills, develop artistic confidence, and cultivate a consistent, disciplined practice.

Late enrollment can be pro-rated. Classes may also be paid monthly, make-up classes are available.
