Service Description

All materials provided. No Class 18th February Galleries can not only be places that we visit, but they can also become rooms full of teachers from the past, or present! The National Gallery of Scotland on the Mound houses precious master pieces, from Rembrandt, to Titian, Raeburn, still life, and beautiful scenes of the Scottish Landscape... In this course, we will study first by drawing, and then by painting, a master work of our choice from inside the National Gallery itself. We will visit the gallery to draw on week 1, before coming back to the studio and stretching canvasses togteher to a suitable dimension for the student's chosen master work in week 2. (note to students try not to choose 3x3m sqaure!) Week 1 - Gallery Visit Week 2 - Stretching canvasses in the studio Week 3, 4, 5, 6 - from under painting to finished master study Once back in the studio and with our referance sketches to hand, we will go on to study our chosen work and bring it to life in oil on the canvasses/supports we have prepared. Usually, before an exploration of another person's painting, we can rarely predict what our experience will be. It is only by going through the process of 'trying' that certain aspects of the original artist's process are revealed to us, and it is THIS, which is unique and invaluable, and that which strecthes us to become more comprehensive, and intentional in our painting ability and application. Alicia is the director The Edinburgh Drawing School. Alicia has a long experince in mentoring and teaching children, and is an alumna of The Florence Academy of Art (2014-2019). Her first degree is in The History of Art from The University of York (2005 - 2008). She is a classically trained painter often taking on portrait commisions. Her career spans numerous hospitality positions and working in charities, as well as working in international schools, as well as privately households.

Cancellation Policy

We will provide a 50% refund if you give written advance notice up to 30 days before the course start date. 0% refund 30 days before a course starts. Please note there is an administration fee of £5 payable in respect of such refunds to cover payment processing fees. You will need to inform a member of administration staff in writing by emailing EDS at info@edinburghdrawingschool.co.uk. Additionally, if you withdraw for any reason after the course has started you will not be entitled to a refund. We are a small business and we depend on every booking to ensure that classes can go ahead. If a tutor has to withdraw from teaching the scheduled course for any reason (medical/personal/professional) before the start of a scheduled course, during a scheduled course, if the course is 8 weeks long or scheduled as x3 terms of 8 weeks long each, The Edinburgh Drawing School will find a replacement tutor for the course designed by that tutor for The Edinburgh Drawing School. The course content will be the same as the originally booked course. A student will not be entitled to a refund should the school have no option but to find a replacement tutor. If a tutor leaves and starts work elsewhere, and a student prefers to take classes with them personally at the tutor's new workplace, that is at the discretion of the student and no refund is entitled to them or will be given. If a student is unable to attend a class due to medical/personal/professional reasons, then EDS must be informed immediately so that the tutor can be notified. If you are missing a class because you suspect that you have developed Covid-19, please let us know immediately so that we can alert fellow student and tutors. Non-attendance of classes/workshops does not automatically mean a refund, however EDS will assess the circumstance If a tutor cannot teach a class due to illness, the scheduled class will be covered by another tutor or the class will be postponed and rescheduled for the following week at the same time on the same day of the week. Make up classes are scheduled during the half term week, or in the week following the end of term. E.D.S. runs make up classes in 1/2 term or during an additional week at the end of term. If classes cannot take place in the studios for any reason at 13 or 13a Great King Street, they will an in alternative venue. Thus, the business always completes it's contractual obligations to booked students. If a student cannot attend a make up class, no refund is due.
