Portrait Paint 3: Expanding the Palette
Intermediate+ with Lewis M Mackenzie Fridays 1.30 - 4.30pm
Service Description
A £20 discount applies if both AM drawing and PM painting class is taken or if you would like to book for all three terms for the year. Portrait Painting II – Expanding the colour palette Having begun to grapple with the challenges of painting in colour during term 2, students in term 3 will work with an expanded palette of Ivory Black, Cobalt Blue, Alizarin Crimson, Transparent Oxide Red, Cadmium Red, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Yellow Lemon and Titanium White. Students will find that the addition of these three pigments – cobalt blue, alizarin and lemon yellow – will dramatically increase the gamut of colours available to them, but will introduce additional challenges with respect to maintaining restraint and proper control of colour. This term will consist of two 4-week poses, during which students will be encouraged to challenge themselves by attempting a more difficult composition, such as a half length portrait with hands visible. This is your chance to really push yourself and produce something spectacular! Course structure - Weeks 1 to 4: • Portrait pose 1 • Weeks 5 to 8: • Portrait pose 2 Materials: • SKETCHBOOK for note-taking • BRUSHES: A selection of good quality natural hog hair brushes in a variety of shapes and sizes. I recommend long flats, filberts and pointed round brushes. Make sure you have at least one medium sized (around 1cm wide) and one large (around 2.5 cm wide) brush (2 or 3 of each brush is ideal, but not essential) • PAINT: Ivory Black, Cobalt Blue, Alizarin Crimson, Transparent Oxide Red (or Burnt Sienna), Cadmium Red, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Yellow Lemon and Titanium artist quality oils • SUPPORT: 2 Stretched canvases or painting panels approximately 60 x 50 cm in size • SOLVENT: Artists odourless white spirit, eg: Kremer Shellsol-T (best value, available online from Atlantis Art Supplies and AP Fitzparick), Gamsol, Sansodor. Do NOT use turpentine – its fumes are toxic • MEDIUM – cold pressed or refined linseed oil, or other non-solvent medium (eg Michael Harding Miracle medium • PAPER TOWELS or RAGS • LIDDED JARS or POTS for solvent and medium

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.
