Service Description
ALL Materials Provided - Highest quality Michael Harding Paint, Surfaces hand prepared gesso board. If your teen joins both the 2 day drawing and 3 day painting sessions, they are eligible for £100 discount from the overall price of the two courses, and can be booked directly here. In this course, Teens will be guided over a series of 5 days, in a methodical approach to portraiture in both dry and wet media. We will be painting in the most flexible and adaptable medium, which is oil. Any level of student can attend this course. The first morning on Monday 27th for drawing, and Wednesday 28th July will have some time dedicate for tutor demonstration before students go on to follow the footsteps of who they have observed. Handouts will also be given to each student to take away with them and read at home to support them on the course. A sound foundation in portraiture is a wonderful skill to have and achieve in one's life...much like playing a musical instrument or learning another language, the ability to render the portrait is a skill which elevates and enriches our life, whether this be of a loved one, or exploring the portrait of someone we do not know personally. Looking into the soul of another, or being given the 'window' with which to do this, is a magical experience and process. Throughout the course, Alicia will guide you on proportion, shadow and light, design of where these two elements meet,. and the all important skill of flesh tone mixing from the limited palette. We look forward to working with you and achieving likeness, skills and achievement students can be happy with.

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.
