See Prince Charles' Watercolors of Landscapes Around the World

The largest-ever exhibition of paintings by Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, is currently on display in London. On view at the Garrison Chapel in the former Chelsea Barracks through February 14, it features 79 watercolors of landscapes in England, Scotland, France, Tanzania and more, reports Laura Elston for the Scotsman.

The Prince’s Foundation, an educational charity established by Charles in 1986, organized the showcase, which is described in a statement as the first “full exhibition” of his artwork. Charles previously displayed 50 of his watercolors at Hampton Court Palace in 1998 and 30 at the National Gallery of Australia in 2018.

Robert Waddell, an art teacher at the Gordonstoun boarding school in Scotland, introduced Charles to painting during his student years in the 1960s. The prince later discussed technique with the late British watercolorist Edward Seago and took lessons with prominent artists Derek Hill, John Ward and Bryan Organ, as Lucy Davies reported for the Telegraph in 2018.
