Beach is canvas for sand portrait of King Charles
A large portrait of King Charles wearing a crown has been created on the sands of a beach in Northumberland.The 58-year-old was commissioned by Claire Watson-Armstrong, the owner of Bamburgh Castle, which overlooks the beach, to draw the 90ft by 65ft portrait.Ms Eason said "Bamburgh Castle has long been associated with Northumbrian kings going back thousands of years.'Really organic'
She said she was inspired after the team at Bamburgh Castle showed her a picture of a textile piece of Charles's portrait made out of sequins."What I wanted to do was to try and make a connection between the portrait and the coastal locations. "I kept it really organic because [Charles] seems to be somebody who's very interested in the environment...I wanted to try and capture a little bit of that as well."
Ms Eason's love of sand drawing had been a "part of my life always" and started when she was a child, she added.
