The Arty adventures of Bernard Hornblower

The mad ramblings and posts of an artist who is really only new at this stuff.

Starting the web Page again as I commence teaching, and try to encourage you to draw too, (If not come along to one of my sessions!)

The aim of the first course is to get you happily drawing/sketching and painting with free abandon, without feeling weighed down by negative thoughts and releasing the creative spirit/instincts/feelings you have inside.

We’ll get drawing a line and creating, developing your hand eye coordination, getting you to think like practiced artists do, to see and capture more details that you may previously have missed and try to remove anything that inhibits your drawing abilities.
