THE EDINBURGH DRAWING SCHOOL
Edinburgh's original independent art school
Portrait Painting: Beginners
with artist & tutor Siri France in water soluble oils Tuesdays 1 - 3pm
Service Description
This class can be taken alone or together with portrait drawing in the two hours preceding it. If both classes are taken a discount of £10 per class can be applied, please contact the school. This class is for students of all levels who want to dig into the process of painting a portrait from life. Those who have attended before are more than welcome to attend another term and are sure to gain just as much! Over the 8 weeks, with a variety of models, we will start with the basics - the structure of the head and proportions of the features- and progress onto working with colour and tone, making an interesting composition and expressing mood. Materials List (Don’t worry if you don’t have absolutely everything!) • Oil paints: I use water soluble oils and recommend using them. There are a few brands – Duo, Cobra, and Artisan. - Large tube titanium white - Medium tubes: Cadmium yellow medium, Cadmium yellow light, Yellow ochre, Cadmium red medium, Cadmium red light, Alizarin crimson, Sap green, Ultramarine blue, Prussian blue, Burnt umber, Black (NB – cadmium are always more expensive so it’s fine to go with other reds and yellows!) • Brushes: a selection of brushes - bring what you have. Recommendation: filberts/flats in sizes 2,4,6,8,10; rounds in Sizes 1 and 2; 1 inch house painting brush • Canvases: At least 4 canvases for the course. They could be stretched canvas or canvas boards. Suggested size is around 9 x 12 inches, or 11 x 14 inches. They should already be gessoed and ready to go (many canvases come primed and ready to go). • Rags and paper towels • A lidded jar to take away any solvents (if using oil-based oil paints rather than water soluable) • Pencil • Rubber • Sharpener • Charcoal •Disposable palette pad (recommended, or regular palette if preferred) • Masking tape
