Rolled turf makes a picture (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

draws

'makes a picture' is the definition.
'draws' can be an answer for 'makes' ('draw' can be a synonym of 'make'). I am not sure about the 'a picture' bit.

'rolled turf' is the wordplay.
'rolled' says the letters should be written in reverse (letters roll back).
'turf' becomes 'sward' (synonyms).
'sward' reversed gives 'DRAWS'.

(Other definitions for draws that I've seen before include "Pulls" , "Raffles" , "lugs" , "proves alluring" , "Match results without winners" .)
