Lauren Terry is an artist who missed her childhood, living in the country. She decided to make a painting of a cow peering in on her kitchen table. It was when she took her painting to be framed, that her career path took a serious change! The framer in North Yorkshire was so taken by the characterful cow, that he offered to host an exhibition for Lauren if she agreed to paint twenty more of her beautiful beasts! The response and enthusiasm that this debut exhibition generated gave Lauren the confidence to launch her art business and brand and Lauren’s Cows was born. Lauren has now made her home in York leaving the stage and waitressing behind to pursue her love of art full time.

Below you will find some step by step instructions for how to draw a cow portrait, in the style of Lauren Terry. You can use crayons for this project, even though the directions call for different materials. Notice the front of the nose is a rectangle-like shape, you might be able to find a rectangle shape to trace at your house. The top of the head is a rainbow-shape. If you fold the paper into quarters it will help you to make the cow head large enough.
