Service Description
Thursday July 2nd to Thursday August 6th Online, Zoom + Padlet, instructions sent to parents upon signing up. Join our wonderful tutor Yuki on this 6 week summer course painting the colourful and vibrant world of flowers around us in watercolour. We will be painting from real flowers that E.D.S. director Alicia has grown herself (examples of amazing tulips in the images below), and taking inspiration from Edinburgh born artist, Elizabeth Blackadder, and many more botanical artists such as Soun Chigusa, Margaret Neil Armstrong as well as contemporary artists Ginnette Callaway and Jennifer Rose. Each session we will focus on a different flower from the flower Kingdom, from images taken at different angles following the schedule below: Week 1: Bluebells Week 2: Triple Daffodils Week 3: Pansies Week 4: Tulips Week 5: Fuchsia Week 6: Clematis (most difficult saved for last, as we are painting white clematis) Each lesson we will learn about the flower itself and its particular characteristics.... is it a climber? where does it like to grow, and what time of year? Perhaps for example some history of the tulip and how they were highly prized items in dutch culture, and some information on the wonderful artist Elizabeth Blackadder who was from Edinburgh. Yuki will teach varying techniques between illustrative approaches, to free-er watercolour practises without pencil. We will work between the two methods, and also combine methods to suit our needs depending on which flowers we are painting each week. Students are invited to continue exploring each week and paint flowers in-between the scheduled class times. We will screen record also if a student misses a lesson for any reason, and we will then be able to send you what has been discussed so you can work at your own pace. By the end of the course, students will have a vibrant collection of work from class time, in addition to any more watercolours they have been inspired to make on their own. Materials pencil eraser watercolour set watercolour sketchbook or pad (cold grain or hot smooth press) watercolour paintbrush. We hope you love this course! Image Credits: 1.

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.

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.
