- King Charles, who turns 75 today, is said to be one of the most successful living artists in the UK.
- His paintings were first exhibited in Windsor Castle in 1977.
- The king favors outdoor scenes and only paints in watercolor.
King Charles is an avid artist — and many of his works have also fetched a pretty penny.
Like his great-great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria, the monarch prefers watercolors and paints scenes of natural beauty, like mountains and lakes.
Though he describes himself as an “enthusiastic amateur,” he is an honorary member of the Royal Academy and the Royal Watercolour Society, and his paintings have sold for more than $2 million, the Telegraph reported in 2018.
Here are 13 of King Charles’ paintings.
