«Breaking News» Prince Charles backs plan to preserve watercolour paintings

The Prince of Wales has backed plans to preserve rarely-seen watercolours that show the world before photography.

A charity aims to scan and digitise tens of thousands of ‘unique and utterly irreplaceable’ paintings from a 150-year period and present them in a free online database.

Unlike oil paintings, watercolours are vulnerable to fading in daylight and can also be damaged by changes in temperature and humidity, so many have to be kept locked away from public view.

Fred Hohler, chairman of new charity The Watercolour World, said the project will focus on paintings from 1750 to 1900. ‘If we lose these collections of watercolours we lose our vision of the whole period,’ he told The Daily Telegraph. 

The charity, launched yesterday, has keen watercolour artist Prince Charles and his wife Camilla as patrons. Museums, galleries and the public will be asked to suggest ‘inaccessible’ paintings to go into the database. Many of the works are expected to be from women artists who embraced the medium but got little recognition at the time.

Mr Hohler said the project would provide ‘an extraordinary journey into the world in earlier times’ to observe how our predecessors ‘lived, loved and played’.

• Members of the public are being urged to count stars to help map England’s winter skies. The Campaign to Protect Rural England wants volunteers to record the number they can see with the naked eye in the constellation of Orion, which is visible only in the winter months.

Unlike oil pai...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
