DIANA HAND

Instructor

I have been an artist and maker since 1984 and a successful horse artist since 2012. I loved to draw horses as a child, and this spontaneous creativity re-emerged in a series of charcoal sketches, inspired by my relationship with a special horse. I draw from feeling and imagination and enjoy the tactile experience of materials such as paper, ink and charcoal. I do believe that horses speak directly to us as humans in spiritual terms, and I want to convey that sense of mystery, as well the incredible power and movement of the horse. I studied classical drawing at the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford and I am a graduate of Glasgow School of Art (2001). I am a Friend of the Society of Equestrian Artists and exhibit in their annual show, “The Horse in Art”. My book “Draw Horses in 15 Minutes” (Ilex/Octopus) was published in 2015 and is now available on Kindle.

“"I felt uninhibited about the drawing for the first time ever" - ”

K.L. (Scotland)

“"You inspired me and gave me the courage to put the charcoal on the paper and draw horses, worrying less about perfect anatomy or proportions. This does not mean that the tips regarding anatomy and proportions were not useful, on the contrary, they were clear and easy to follow. Your way of seeing drawing liberated me from some of my old good "guardians”, namely perfectionism and not trusting myself. Your feedback was also very detailed" ”
