Greyhound life drawing fundraiser challenges artists in Melbourne
In Eltham, Victoria, a life drawing class featuring greyhounds, organized by Greyt Greys and hosted by TKO Tattoos, successfully raised funds for greyhound rescue. The event, which reached full capacity within just two days, showcased whippet Fettuccine and greyhound Nina as models. Attendees faced the challenge of capturing the dogs' unique anatomy, noted for its 'reverse chicken legs' and intricate joints. TK, the owner of the tattoo studio, supplied participants with drawing guides for greyhound anatomy. The upcoming fundraiser is set for 8 August at the Round Shader Club in Eltham, Melbourne. Victoria boasts one of the largest greyhound racing sectors worldwide, with thousands of dogs requiring rehabilitation each year.
