Why King Charles is called one of the most successful artists in the UK. 5 photos of paintings that confirm this

King Charles III of the United Kingdom has a hobby that few people know about: painting. In his younger years, he often went outdoors and painted architecture and mountains. Moreover, even on one of his trips to Japan, Charles III took an easel and paints with him to recreate the beauty of nature on paper. Because of his talent for painting and the significant amounts of money he earned from selling paintings, the king was nicknamed one of the most successful artists in Britain.

The monarch is a master of watercolor, and his works cannot be found in other techniques and with other colors. Since his early childhood, His Majesty has been interested in painting and even reproduced his parents on canvas: Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. Hello! writes that these two paintings were sold at auction for 46 thousand pounds (2.37 million hryvnias).

In 2018, during another sale of his works, Charles III earned 2 million pounds sterling (103 million hryvnias). Interestingly, he donated all of his earnings to the Prince of Wales' charity fund.

May Castle

May Castle is one of the first works of the king, dating back to 1986. It was created using watercolors. His Majesty chose this particular building because Elizabeth II was very fond of it.

Highgrove

In 1998, His Majesty painted his own home, Highgrove in Gloucestershire, on canvas. Charles III tried to depict a courtyard immersed in greenery, with a blue-cushioned chair in the middle.

Stamps

In 1994, Charles III's work was featured in a series of commemorative stamps. Specifically, it shows the landscapes of Dersingham, Norfolk.

Sandringham

The King captured the beauty of Sandringham Palace in Norfolk in every detail. He took into account all the shadows that appeared on the building at sunset, and even a flag flew on the roof.

Scotland

A gloomy sunset in Scotland conveyed maximum tranquility in His Majesty's painting thanks to the darkened shades of watercolor and only one building in the middle.
