Artist perhaps red raw after beating (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drawer

'artist' is the definition.
(I know that drawer is a type of artist)

'red raw after beating' is the wordplay.
'after beating' is an anagram indicator.
'red'+'raw'='redraw'
'redraw' is an anagram of 'DRAWER'.

'perhaps' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for drawer that I've seen before include "One signing cheque" , "Boxlike compartment in piece of furniture" , "One providing cheque" , "Cheque signatory" , "neither winner nor loser?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
