Watercolours painted by King Charles III to go on display at Norfolk's Sandringham Estate
A collection of 40 pictures will be on show from next month
A collection of watercolour paintings created by King Charles III is set to go on display at Norfolk's Sandringham Estate from next month.
The 40 pictures depict a range of scenes from the Welsh hills, to the Scottish highlands and the royal residences at Windsor Castle and Highgrove.
Charles first took up painting in the 1970s after being inspired by his school art teacher, with his work first being exhibited at Windsor in 1977.
His Majesty's watercolours have also been shown at Hampton Court Palace in 1998 and The National Gallery of Australia in 2018.
In a documentary called Royal Paintbox, aired in 2013, the then Prince of Wales said: "I think, you know, drawing from nature, observing from nature, is absolutely crucial. I’ve obviously been inspired by just looking”.
"It’s usually the light that catches my attention. You can look at the same view over and over again and then suddenly one moment, there’s the most magical light.”
The paintings will be shown in the Sandringham House ballroom from April 1 - October 12. You can find more information here.
