Service Description
All Materials Provided - highest quality oil paint on a hand prepared surface. If you wish to purchase your own brushes (recommended) we have a set here made up with Rosemary & Co https://www.rosemaryandco.com/edinburgh-drawing-school-flower-painting Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th July 10am - 4pm, lunch 12.30pm - 1pm Any level of student can join this course. In this course we will paint a beautiful bouquet in the ever expressive medium of oils. We will employ a direct approach to capture shapes, light and colour over the intricacies of petals and leaves situated on a classical vase. We will NOT be drawn into 'detail too early', we will first achieve, correct 'big shapes' form and light, before going in to pick out a choice of detail on the following day. We will not pick out detail 'everywhere' and in fact intentionally where to choose to do so, and where not to, thus giving interest and variety to our floral studies. The indirect exercise we will be learning, through flowers as our subject, will be exactly this choice. Where to 'abbreviate' and where to 'define'. This skill can be employed on anything we paint, but especially with flowers, it is a technique most suited. Alicia is director or EDS, and looks forward to creating a bountiful and colourful artwork with you, that you will be proud of and possibly decorate your house or give as lovely gift. As ever, we will solely work from life.

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. 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.
