Service Description
All materials provided. 10am - 4pm, (12.30 - 1pm packed lunch) In this course, teens will understand and grasp the fundamental separation of light and dark across the portrait. What belongs to shadow? What belongs to light? and thereby creating 'form' and 'likeness'. This is a rare opportunity for teens to observe and draw entirely from life with a professional model, over an extended period of time, (this hiring of the model for such a duration is reflected in the course price) The 2 day course will span 11 hours, whereby on the first morning Alicia will demo and show the staged examples, (which teens will also practise) of what we will be aiming to achieve throughout the course of the afternoon, following morning and afternoon. We will work with 2B, B, HB, H, 2H pencils on clear paper with a putty eraser. we will also work with very sharp pencils and Alicia will show teens how to sharpen them on sanding blocks. Teens will learn how important 'light shapes' are, and where they can then employ 'organic' and sensitive qualities to their drawing one main proportion and understanding has been achieved. This course is a great 'confidence giver'. If a young person is able to grasp and achieve the concepts taught in it, they will only but be proud of themselves and what they can achieve. They may also be encouraged as a result go on to draw more in their own time ... This course can be taken alone, or as a precursor to the following 3 day portrait painting Wednesday course 29th to Friday 31st July.

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.
