HRH supported the project by generously giving permission for his watercolour to be translated by the apprentice. Undertaken as part of the Dovecot apprenticeship scheme, it represents growing UK support to teach and preserve fine art and craft skills in one of Western civilisationÕs oldest and richest art forms.
