A person with a colorful headscarf is drawing a pair of lips on a gray canvas, illuminated by a focused light. A similar 3D model of lips is mounted to their left for reference. The room appears dimly lit.

Part Time


Part-time Students

The part-time classes at GLAFA offer the same core curriculum as the full-time program but are taught in a less intensive format. Students begin with preliminary drawing exercises and, if they choose to continue with the program long-term, progress to charcoal drawing from life and eventually to black and white and full-color still life oil painting.

Please note: if signed up for a class, come prepared by gathering materials.

Syllabus & Schedule


Instruction is individualized to accommodate each student, and classes are open to all, regardless of prior experience or skill level. Any student with the desire to learn and improve will find their efforts commensurately rewarded by an improved ability to realize their personal artistic goals. If taken to heart, the lessons learned in these classes will provide the building blocks to produce more advanced and creatively satisfying artworks.

We offer seminars and workshops from time to time featuring some of today’s best contemporary representational artists from around the world.
