Coaching

Local professional artist, Maxine Dodd, joins us approximately every three weeks and provides a demonstration and exploration of the chosen topic.  Maxine is a contemporary watercolour and mixed media artist. She is a member of the Leicester Society of Artists, the Leicester Sketch Club and the Harborough Artists Cluster.  Maxine has exhibited in the Mall Galleries and The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour in London and, more locally, in the Leicester Museum and Art Gallery with solo exhibitions in the Alfred East gallery in Kettering . website:  maxinedodd.com

Maxine will generally identify the key areas of importance in painting/drawing the topic and explain ways and means of tackling some of the more challenging ones. Her presentation will generally be at the start of the session and last about 40 to 50 minutes, after which she will lend assistance and advice for the remainder of the 3 hours while we all "have-a-go" at the topic.  Participation in the topic is not compulsory and some members prefer to "do their own thing" and simply ask Maxine for guidance as and when needed.
