One thousand of the queuing public outside Centre Court, Wimbledon completed\u00a0the giant 16ft x 9ft canvas.<\/p>\n

The artist created an original\u00a0\u00a0oil painting measuring \u00a0(5ft x 3ft) which he then deconstructed and redesigned in a blank painting by numbers template\u00a0with a palette of 32 unique colours \u00a0which\u00a0was enlarged onto a canvas.<\/p>\n

This was then completed by the waiting crowd.<\/p>\n

‘I have fond memories of this project. It was great fun and we\u00a0were blessed with beautiful British summer weather. It was a great interactive project. Everybody that put paint to canvas, enjoyed themselves\u00a0even if they had never lifted a brush before and were initially nsure of their art abilities – they got into it’ – Christian Furr<\/p>\n
