Cast Painting is an extraordinary training exercise which supports our ability to render form in all other aspects of painting or drawing, we may then come to attempt. This course is suitable for complete beginners, and especially those who would like to become stronger portrait painters. Fridays are dedicated to this exercise, and it can be taken alone in it's own right, or in addition to either of the portrait painting or any other portraiture class at EDS.

In this course, you will understand *Value *Paint handling *Drawing, Edges, Soft and Sharp *Light Shape *Shadow Shape and the slow and beautiful process of a drawing with gradually becomes more and more organic, and an artwork unique to your hand and draughtsmanship Be prepared to slow down and get in the zone.

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.
