Dumfries House - artist residency


As the final part to my Foundation course, we had the opportunity of an artist's residency at Dumfries House, a stately home in Scotland supported by The Prince's Trust. 

Whilst landscapes aren't usually what I do, I made an effort to transform the beautiful scenery into something I would enjoy painting, elaborating on the colour palette.

To round off a fantastic trip, a completely coincidental arrival of HRH Prince of Wales occurred on the last day during our pop up exhibition. He was there to see a dog show and attend to business around the estate, however he went out of his way to come to our show and talk to each student. A very admirable man.
