Service Description

All materials provided Dates: January 15th to March 12th 2026, no class 19th February This course focuses on architectural drawing and illustration, using Edinburgh’s iconic buildings as our inspiration. Over the term, students will learn how to capture buildings with both accuracy and feeling, creating work that is technically strong and rich in character. In the first four weeks, we’ll focus on drawing some of Edinburgh’s most recognisable landmarks. We’ll cover essential techniques such as perspective, proportion, light and shadow, and how to use ink and watercolour to bring architectural scenes to life. In the second half of the course, students will be invited to choose a building of personal significance and develop a more detailed, atmospheric study. We’ll also explore how to find your individual style and add personality to your work. Abi is an artist specialising in bespoke house portraits and wedding venue paintings. Her work is about preserving special places in timeless detail. Originally from Edinburgh, she has studied at Duncan and Jordanstone, as well as Goldsmiths in London. Since graduating, she has worked in didgital marketing and communication, freelance arts journalism, social media and as a gallery assistant

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.

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.
