Clarkston artist Judy Hoddinott offers Silhouettes for SCAMP, 5-9 p.m., Nov. 5 and 12, at Frames-N-Art in Independence Township.
‘She’s very good at it,? said Carol Plautz, co-owner of Frames N Art with Gail Bacon. ‘It’s something she enjoys doing for SCAMP.?
Before photography, silhouettes were a popular portrait artform. They show an outline of a person usually in profile, with a featureless, black interior.
Hoddinott draws the outline she needs for a complete silhouette by eye, without photography or backlit shadows.
‘It’s quick,? she said. ‘I can draw a child in under three minutes.?
Silhouettes, 8-by-10, matted, and ready for framing, are $15. All proceeds go to SCAMP, Clarkston’s summer camp for special-needs children and young adults.
‘I enjoy SCAMP. It’s a lot of fun,? Hoddinott said. ‘You can’t go there and not fall in love with the little guys ? they do an excellent job.?
