Service Description

All materials provided Dates April 23rd to June 11th 2026 Are you looking for a way to feel more confident and inspired in drawing? There are many straightforward, yet freeing approaches to drawing with confidence and vigour that will not only entice you to draw more often, but actively train your eyes to see the world in a different way. Through practical, yet flexible exploratory drawing exercises, demonstrations, and references to drawings from a variety of different artists, you will learn how to ‘map out’ a drawing, discern proportional relationships, look for rhythms, patterns, contours, edges, and tone, and discover your own compositional style. As well as developing technique and eye-hand co-ordination, you will be developing two essential habits of mind: how to look and how to interpret what it is that you wish to express through your marks in order to capture a particular feeling, detail, or abstraction. This course is taught by Siri France, a well loved tutor at EDS, known for her open and approachable feeling she provides in her classes where students feel that 'safe space' where they can explore and grow. Through this experience we have seen the amazing development of student's work throughout the terms and can understand why students love being taught by Siri and return to her classes.

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. 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.
