Description

Brindle greyhound hand sketched in charcoal pencil by pet portrait artist Kate Sumners. The elegant, thoughtful greyhound is a wonderful breed and has been the muse for many an artist through the centuries. The subject for this portrait's name is Pat and he has a gentle spirit.

Any greyhound owner will tell you, beneath the sleek and speedy exterior lies a couch potato at heart. Beyond their grace and speed, people love them for their sweet, mild nature.

To commission a custom portrait of your own pet, see my other website ESArt.Artfire.com Copyright information: Kate Sumners retains full reproduction copyright on all her work.

Charcoal is a superior medium for capturing rich depth and detail for realistic portraiture. It is my favorite medium, with its rich matte blacks and grays offering dramatic expressive possibilities.
