Dodd was born in Anglesey, the son of a Wesleyan minister and trained at the Glasgow School of Art alongside Muirhead Bone, who married his sister, Gertrude. There he won the Haldane Scholarship in 1893 and then travelled around France, Italy and later Spain, returning to England in 1895 to live in Manchester, before moving to London in 1904. He was appointed an official war artist in 1916, producing more than 30 portraits of senior military figures on the Western Front. In peacetime, he specialised in watercolours, etchings and portrait commissions. He was appointed a trustee of the Tate Gallery in 1929, a position he held for six years, and was elected to the Royal Academy in 1927. He lived in Blackheath, dying by his own hand in 1949.
