DAY WORKSHOPS WITH DIANA HAND
DATES FOR 2025
ALL WORKSHOPS AT Gargunnock Community Centre FK8 3BJ
“THE ART OF DRAWING HORSES”
18th October 10 am – 4 pm £50.00
This class will introduce my approach to drawing horses, combining expressive media and experimentation with some anatomical principles. We will explore the process by drawing in different ways and with different tools. I will show you some basic principles of proportion that will help you construct or amend your drawing. You can learn to draw from favourite images in a way that really goes under the surface towards understanding, and leads you make strong free work from imagination. In this class, due to special request from some students, I will also cover the structure of the legs and hooves of the horse. I have made a close study and I will be sharing this knowledge with you.
But if you are new to drawing and want to make more general drawings of the whole horse and the head, then there is definitely the option to do so. Since 2017 I have been running classes on drawing horses and helped many people to gain confidence and make beautiful work.
PRE-BOOKING ESSENTIAL

Glasgow School of Art graduate Diana Hand is an experienced artist, with a special gift for drawing horses with freedom and spontaneity.
In the workshop she will demonstrate an approach to drawing which combines free expression and experimentation with the principles of equine structure. You will have the rest of the day to work from your own ideas and images, or to gain inspiration from Diana’s library of books and photographs along with her personal advice and guidance as desired.
This class is suitable for all artists from complete beginners to those with more experience. Paper and basic drawing materials are supplied, but you are free to bring your own favourite medium. Tea and coffee and light refreshments are provided free, but please bring a packed lunch. Numbers are limited to 10 per class, and pre-booking is essential.
