PAST EVENTS
January meeting
At this meeting, Sketch Club members Vanessa Parkinson and Maxine Dodd shared some of their personal techniques.
Maxine Dodd: “My work is inspired by sport, movement and other fleeting moments. Drawings, paintings and combined media, including pen, ink, watercolour and pastels. Subjects include cycling Tour de France, Six Nations rugby and more.' You can read more details on https://maxinedodd.com/about/”
Vanessa Parkinson: “For a couple of decades I have taken part in Tudor re-enactments as Lettys, poor gardener and have built up a lot of knowledge about plants and their uses. During lockdown I kept a record of some of the plants/weeds I grow and used a variety of art techniques to log these. After a few false starts, I finally found a way to display the plant images in the form of “Lockdown Gardener’s Tatter Hat”, which was accepted for the cancelled Leicester Open”
