Emma Raducanu appears to be as comfortable in front of a blank canvas as she is on the court.<br /><br />The British tennis star shared a video on Instagram of herself painting what appears to be a Terracotta Army warrior in a traditional dress and the results are impressive.<br /><br />The clip starts with Raducanu standing in front of a white canvas before she begins sketching the contours of her painting going off a picture she has on her phone.<br /><br />By the time the video ends, the 2021 US Open winner can be seen applying the finishing touches to the painting. <br /><br />Raducanu, whose mother is Chinese, revealed the session took place during her first trip to China in four years.<br /><br />'Four years later I could head back to China - just like home,' Raducanu wrote on Instagram as a caption.<br /><br />'I loved spending time absorbing the culture and trying my hand at something new while in recovery.'<br /><br />It's safe to say her foray into painting left fans impressed.<br /><br />'You're watching a master at work,' one wrote, while another added: 'That's very good, seriously impressed! Another string to your bow.'<br /><br />A third suggested Raducanu 'could easily sell this masterpiece', while another fan noted the Briton should turn to art full-time once her tennis career is over.<br /><br />'Impressive. You could be an artist after you retire,' the comment read, echoing the feeling shared by several others.<br /><br />In the caption, Raducanu noted she 'added a small detail' to the painting, which eagle-eyed viewers spotted as a scar on the wrist of the figure she painted.<br /><br />The detail is a nod to her ongoing recovery from undergoing surgery on both wrists and her ankle in May.<br /><br />The surgeries forced Raducanu to miss the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open and she has plummeted to No. 280 in the WTA world rankings as a result.<br /><br />The 20-year-old has provided regular updates on her recovery by posting videos of herself working out in the gym and at home.<br /><br />Raducanu hoped to make an autumn comeback after she returned to the practice court in August but has since set her sights on returning to action next year. <br /><br />'Next season I'll be back,' she told BBC Sport in September.<br /><br />'This season all the slams were finished so it was difficult to watch them go by but I was trying to stay in my lane as much as possible and keep focused on my recovery.<br /><br />'Wimbledon is the dream and always has been growing up. It's still the ultimate dream to win Wimbledon.'
