If you are a complete beginner and wish for critique and support, Alicia will be there to guide and assist you with 1 or 2 critiques in the first and second half of the day, however this class is suited most for self guided people and those with some previous experience who are happy to be immersed in their own creativity. This class is for people who wish for personal exploration as in a traditional figure drawing session. For those who if they do want some support and advice can always reach out for it. This course is open to all abilities, and it is our hope to create a dynamic and warm environment where all students can be inspired by each other whether their colleagues are drawing in dry media or painting beside them... The pose will be the same all 4 hours, for two weeks at a time. Students are welcome to switch positions around the room for differing angles of the same model. If a student wants to remain in the same place all they need to do is communciate that. Welcome to all day Figure Painting and Drawing on Tuesdays!

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. The Edinburgh Drawing School runs 8 week terms of scheduled classes, 9 weeks if including the half term and then 10 weeks to include a week at the end of term for any necessary make up classes. Thus, the business always completes it's contractual obligations of 8 scheduled classes to booked students. If a student cannot attend a make up class, no refund is due.
