Tapestry Colour Studies: King Charles III and Dovecot Studios, Abandoned Cottage on the Isle of Stroma, Caithness 2017

The tapestry was woven by Ben Hymers during the end of his three year tapestry apprenticeship and took eight months to create. In translating watercolour, Hymers has to create an element of translucence in wool colour, where the colour blends from one to another. 

The tapestry depicts a watercolour by King Charles III, painted in Scotland. HM supported the project by generously giving permission for his watercolour to be translated by the apprentice.
