Service Description

ALL MATERIALS PROVIDED. Monday 27th, Tuesday 28th, Wednesday 29th July 3-5.30 pm, Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh (If you have your own brushes you are welcome to paint with your own set, we also have a set made up with Rosemary & Co available for purchase, here https://www.rosemaryandco.com/edinburgh-drawing-school-watercolour) In this three day course, each student will attempt a different scene each day, chosen from the vantage point of Princes Street Gardens. Students will paint on Fabriano Artistico or Bockingford paper. Over 2.5 hours from life and as the sun moves across the sky, students will experience a constant enough 'light effect' on the objects sunlight falls on, before it moves too far and the shadows are reversed, and before we reach 'golden hour' and the sun setting. We hope you will have a beautiful few paintings by the end of your 3 afternoon course. Jason will meet you each day at three different spots marked on a google maps pin point location which will be sent to you upon signing up. You will paint: The Ross Fountain Edinburgh Castle A Landscape Painting with foliage Painting in aerial perspective light can pose somewhat of a challenge at times, as studio painters are used to being able to manipulate and control light, plain air painters have to employ other techniques and tricks to convey depth, distance and colour harmony. Jason Bentley is an experienced portraitist and landscape painter, in both oils and watercolour, which is a rare quality to have; to move with ease between very different mediums. Come join him, as he delivers a wonderful 3 day landscape painting course, in glorious Edinburgh. All you need to do, is bring yourself. There will be an art school assistant on this course to help with set up, to allow Jason to teach and maximise the time he has with you. Image Credits: Jason M Bentley

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.
