Artist creates sand sketch of Greta Thunberg - using two rakes and a stick

An artist has created an incredible 100ft sketch of Greta Thunberg on a beach – using two rakes and a stick. Sean Corcoran, 52, spent three hours making the sand art - based on a portrait of the Swedish activist - before the tide came in and washed it away.

He used two rakes and a horse-riding lunge stick to create the massive portrait, which stretched 100ft by 60ft across the beach at Copper Coast Geopark in Waterford, Ireland.

Environmental artist Sean said: "My drawing is based on an iconic portrait of Greta by photographer, Michael Campanella. I created a digital version of the picture first on my phone from a black and white photo of the portrait.
