Service Description

Golden Fluid Acrylics are a medium which marries the transparency and flow of traditional watercolour, with the robust quality when dry of acrylic. They allow watercolour technique to be taken in directions otherwise impossible: The repeated application of ‘wet-on-wet’ glazes, washing colour over detail, blocking out in white then painting over, and so on. In this way they offer the chance to make paintings of unrivalled intensity and freedom. Each class will be based around a mixture of tutor demonstration and individual guidance, using as material photographs provided by the tutor. The students will also be encouraged to use these as the basis for further work at home. The equipment used is much the same as you might use with conventional watercolour. However, the medium is tough on brushes, so it’s not worth using the very best sable, unless you have deep enough pockets to replace them often. The pigments, though they have a similar range to watercolour, have unusual names. They come in small plastic bottles, starting at 30ml, which should be enough for the course. They are not available in all art shops, though can be ordered online, which the shop should happily do. Otherwise, Greyfriars Art on Dundas Street, Edinburgh, keep a full range.

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
