Recreating a Lowry

Lawrence Stephen Lowry was famous for his industrial prints and to create his images, he used only black, white, red, yellow and blue paints. The portrait of Anne is one of his famous paintings and in this clip the presenter has a go at recreating her using crayons and strips of paper. Lowry himself started with a sketch, then applied his background paint, chose his five colours and used card to draw lines and his hands, paintbrushes and sticks to create the finished work. This clip shows that following instructions is important and that you must make sure you have all the essential things you need before you start.
