Service Description
Wednesday Zoom + Padlet, instructions sent to participants upon signing up Watercolour is a “moving” medium. We can be proficient by making good decisions, both in anticipation of a desired effect, and then in response to whathappens when pigment is applied. Designing the portrait, while maintaining the joys and characters of this particular medium seems a daunting task. But having a constructive, step by step method will lead you through milestones that build a proper form and likeness in a very approachable way. In this course, we will analyze this method, including everything from making a solid under drawing, discovering light, shadow, and temperature relationships, while developing tonal hierarchy and brush techniques that express the unique stylistic flair of watercolour! This course will be lead each day by short demos, and divided into segments of concentration, with personal guidance throughout class.

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. E.D.S. runs make up classes in 1/2 term or during an additional week at the end of term. If classes cannot take place in the studios for any reason at 13 or 13a Great King Street, they will an in alternative venue. Thus, the business always completes it's contractual obligations to booked students. If a student cannot attend a make up class, no refund is due.
