It is a veritable minefield of gables, bow windows, parapets, balustrades, to w ers, cupolas and gigantic chimneys. Trying to get the perspective right was an intriguing challenge in itself...I made life more difficult for myself by selecting a pretty impossible angle from which to do the painting, but I thought it would be more interesting than most others" (HRH The Prince of Wales Extract from HRH The Prince of Wales Watercolours, Little, Brown and Company, 1991.)The Prince made a number of prints depicting Royal Palaces and Residences such as Sandringham, Balmoral, Windsor Castle and HighgrovePrince Charles who modestly describes himself as an “enthusiastic amateur" painter has made over £6 million ($7.75 million) from selling prints of his watercolors, it has emerged.Limited edition prints of the original watercolors by the 67-year-old heir to the British throne reportedly sell for up to £15,000 ($21,668) each.
