Maxine Dodd - Fast and Furious - how to sketch movement
A great fun evening yesterday led by the fantastic Maxine Dodd. Maxine draws her inspiration from moving images of sportsmen, dancers and other challenging subjects. After demonstrating her process, members attempted Maxine’s techniques, sketching quickly from moving images. Great fun and a real challenge.
Thank you Maxine.
