Unleash the artist in you - Colour with Crawford Art Gallery
We've teamed up with the Crawford Art Gallery and are asking our readers to try their hand at at colouring in a painting from the Crawford collection. You can print off and colour the painting below.
Instead of painting your own version, you may want to recreate the scene at home - we'd love to see your interpretations.
Share your colouring or recreations of a classic on social using the hashtag #IEColourandCreate with Crawford Art Gallery. We’ll publish some of the best in a future edition of our Weekend supplement.
Send your finished colouring to readers@examiner.ie to be in with a chance of winning a voucher for art supplies. Ts&Cs apply.
This painting is more than 300 years old. It was painted in the 17th century, photography had not been invented and only the richest people could afford to have a portrait painted.
We do not know the name of the gentleman in this portrait, it is a mystery. Feeling playful? Give this gentleman a cunning disguise to add to the mystery.
Crawford Art Gallery’s national collection comprises 4,000 works, ranging from eighteenth-century Irish and European painting and sculpture, through to contemporary video installations. ‘Colour our Collection’ is part of its Learn and Explore programme
