Diana Hand
Workshop | Studio 13
Class/Workshop 'The Art of Drawing Horses':
Gargunnock Community Centre on Saturday, 11th June, 10am-4pm | £55.00
Diana has taken great pleasure in sharing her artistic journey and experiences with others over the past five years. In 2014 she was commissioned by Ilex Press to write and illustrate “Draw Horses in 15 Minutes”. This book includes an emphasis on spontaneous drawing as a starting point and shows how to develop both the accuracy and the linear and tonal qualities of the drawing without losing that initial burst of feeling.
In the workshop students will begin by free mark-making with charcoal, and then continue by using imagination or favourite personal imagery to develop expressive drawings. Many people in Diana's classes have experienced a revelation as they realise perhaps for the first time ever that they really are able to draw and in the process to express their love of horses. Details of the workshop can be found in the Artbeat brochure and at https://dianahand.com/product/the-art-of-drawing-horses-workshop-11th-june-2022/.
