Whippet Painting and Sighthound Art

Share your whippet painting and sighthound art with the world.

Do you create art inspired by the grace, speed, and spirit of sighthounds? Whether you sketch, paint, sculpt, or use digital tools to bring your ideas to life—we want to see it! We're calling on all artists, hobbyists, and creatives to share their visual artwork celebrating whippets and their elegant sighthound cousins.

Our online community is growing into a vibrant hub for dog lovers and art lovers alike. And nothing captures the essence of these stunning breeds quite like original artwork. If you’ve ever felt moved to capture the streamlined beauty of a whippet mid-run or the soulful eyes of a resting greyhound, this is your opportunity to share that passion.

All Types of Visual Art Are Welcome

We want to celebrate the diversity of your creativity. This call isn’t limited to just one kind of art—we’re looking for allforms of visual expression. Here are just a few examples of what you can submit:

• Traditional paintings (watercolor, acrylic, oil)
• Drawings (pencil, pen, charcoal, pastel)
• Digital art and illustrations
• Photography
• Mixed media pieces
• Collages
• Sculpture or ceramics
• Textile or fiber art
• Even animation stills or comic-style panels!

If it’s a visual piece and it features a whippet or any sighthound breed, it belongs here.

A Special Focus on Whippet Painting

Of course, we have a soft spot for the classic charm of a whippet painting—that timeless way artists have honored these noble dogs for generations. Whether it's a sweeping oil landscape with a proud whippet gazing into the distance, or a minimalist watercolor capturing their sleek lines in motion, we love to see how different artists interpret the breed through paint.

But again, painting is only one of many forms. If your love for whippets comes through in another medium, that’s just as meaningful.

Why Submit Your Work?

Besides the joy of sharing your passion with a like-minded community, there are a few great reasons to send in your art:

1. Visibility: Your art will be featured on our site (with full credit to you, of course), where other whippet and sighthound lovers can admire your work.
2. Inspiration: By sharing your art, you help inspire others to create and connect. You never know who will be moved by your piece to pick up a pencil or brush for the first time.
3. Community: Join a growing circle of artists who share your love for these unique dogs. We’re building a network where you can connect, comment, and collaborate.
4. Future Opportunities: From art spotlights to featured interviews and themed galleries, we plan to offer more ways for artists to shine.

And best of all—it’s completely free to submit!

Submitting Your Art is Easy

To make this as accessible and fun as possible, we’ve provided a simple submission form right here on the page. Just upload a high-quality image of your work, share a few details (your name, a short description, the medium used), and hit submit.

There’s no need to have a fancy portfolio or be a professional artist—this is open to everyone, from seasoned illustrators to someone who just drew their first whippet painting last week.

We review all submissions to ensure they meet basic quality and content standards, but we welcome and celebrate all skill levels and styles.

Need a Bit of Inspiration?

Still not sure if your work fits the theme? Here are a few ideas that might spark your imagination:

• A sleepy whippet curled in a blanket on a rainy day
• A greyhound sprinting across a golden field at sunset
• An abstract, colorful interpretation of a sighthound's sleek form
• A stylized portrait with whimsical or surreal elements
• A cartoon-style panel showing the mischievous side of a whippet
• A sculpture capturing the moment of a leap mid-chase

If you’re drawn to sighthounds in any way—elegance, movement, companionship, or charm—then you already have the heart of an artist for this theme.

Whippet Painting, Drawing, and Beyond

We often hear from people who say, “I just do doodles,” or “It’s not really ‘art’—just sketches.” But let us tell you: those doodles and sketches often end up being some of the most beloved pieces in our collection.

Whether your submission is a meticulous whippet painting, a loose ink sketch, or a colorful collage, it’s the love you put into it that matters. Every piece tells a story, and every story helps celebrate these incredible dogs in new and unique ways.

Join Our Whippet Art Community

This is more than a gallery—it’s a celebration of connection. Connection between people and dogs, between art and emotion, between strangers who share the same affection for the noble sighthound.

Your artwork helps bring that connection to life.

We can’t wait to see what you’ve created. So grab your sketchbook, dig out that canvas, or open up your favorite digital art program. Whether it’s your hundredth whippet painting or your very first one, it deserves to be seen.

Click the submission button below, and let’s make something beautiful—together.
