eastcoast 3,721 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 I don't know if this exists and I can't find it on THL or if has been done before and was not popular. But the idea of this thread is for people to submit their own art, drawn or painted by the individual rather than purchased. A few days ago I saw a very nice drawing in the Lurcher section but I forgot exactly where and now cannot find it. Maybe there could be a place where our own art could be placed? Not for critique or ego, merely to share. I have know a few people who have drawn and painted yet keep it to themselves as a kind of dirty secret. Not sure why. I have always loved art and throughout my life have produced my own. Not great, I admit, and have not had the time or the inclination for many years, but that's not my point. I love it and I love to see other people's interpretation of the hunt, dogs, nature. Maybe others feel the same? 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not only is that dog instantly recognisably as a whippet, it could only have been drawn by a person who knows whippets! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meece 1,957 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 I just watched a program about artists painting portraits of human subjects at the RAF museum. It was so bad. The pictures were like from a horror show. They would have made a bad job of painting a shed door. They painted a picture of an elderly woman. God preserve us! If someone painted a picture of my mother like that I'd first beat them and then Chuck the picture on the bonfire followed by the brushes and paint. I couldn't paint a picture but I wouldn't try. I'd use a camera. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Gain 1,759 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Since retirement I have dabbled with a bit of painting and drawing, and largely enjoyed it. Done all sorts of subjects (except hunting scenes) in watercolour, oil paint and a few graphite drawings. Last couple of years I've not been able to find the enthusiasm to restart. I have tried different styles as well, even had a go at the Bob Ross method in oils. I have sold a few and done a few commissions for people and given a fair few away. Did a watercolour doberman for my brother Done my son's dog some years back and sent it out to Aussie for him Did a few portraits as well, some who have passed away etc. Did one of a young girl who died young, father is Ghanaian mother is Malaysian of Chinese origin. The wife's uncle John, no longer with us Done landscapes and buildings as well As an ex train driver I even did a few railway ones, my old depot etc Even tried the Bob Ross technique Anyway, you get the idea. As said, lost heart with it lately. 13 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From a photograph? My only reference is page 126 of "The English Whippet". But no certification is given to the photographer. Once again though, a well drawn whippet.
