PAINTING BY NUMBERS
Today, four giant paint-by-numbers canvasses of famous artworks from the Tate Collection will spring up across the capital. As part of Visit London's One Amazing Week project, the Tate's innovative art experiment Paint by Numbers will allow thousands of people the chance to recreate famous pictures - with a little numerical help. Front Row compares brush-strokes.
