Watercolour Portraits - Monday Evenings

with artist & tutor James Potter, Mondays 6.30 - 8.30pm

Starts Apr 21
290 British pounds
Great King Street

Service Description

Discover contemporary ways to paint the portrait with watercolour and gouache. We will be working from the life model over this eight week course. We will be learning a variety of techniques for applying the paint to show the possibilities for this medium (which is often deceptively thought of as a Victorian past time). These classes will cover line and wash, using resist, looking at building up depth in the image using tone and rich colours. We will also talk about the use of different papers and brushes and how these can work to your advantage. Most of the materials are included but you can also bring along any of your own brushes, papers and watercolours if you wish. We provide pan watercolours, but if you prefer tubes you can bring them in. Suitable for beginners and those with some previous experience. Each student should bring their own A3 Bockingford block of Watercolour paper. https://www.jacksonsart.com/bockingford-block-10x14in-300gsm-12-sheets-not

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.
