Zoom Reviews | ||
That was a great session this morning I really enjoyed it - very well put together and easy to join in - the model was brilliant - TS
Thanks for setting up last night. I was surprised how easy it was to connect. Zoom seemed to work well as I haven’t used it before - drawing from the screen was clear, and quite a different technique for observation, the poses were really good, it takes a bit of getting used to but it was fun. - CM

Haygarth Design, Wimbledon Team building evening 'From basic form to finer detail, we spent two hours finding our feet and – believe it or not – forgetting about the totally naked girl in front of us. We tried 10-second sketches, overlaying drafts and swapping half way through until one-by-one, like a Hollywood plot resolution, it happened. Imagine a pat on the back from Da Vinci himself – that’s what it felt like to fill with that warm glow of pride. Or it might have been the wine but whatever, we’re artists now.'

Internationally exhibited, from Paris to Bankside, the work of Robin Rutherford revolves around the idea of motion, his works on canvas at once both a captured sensation, as well as in constant flux. By isolating and spotlighting the kinetic in his subject matter, a sense of progression occurs in his compositions, further informing the viewer of the spatial potential of the canvas.
With subject matter ranging from cloudscapes to otherscapes, colour palettes switch from contrasting triads to overlapping hues, a deep sense of movement puncturing the canvas as figures and forms skitter and sway.
