Castles of Wales inspire popular Welsh artist
Popular Welsh artist Dorian Spencer Davies, known for his rich, full-colour style, has turned for inspiration to the iconic castles of Wales. But this time he has produced black and white illustrations for other people to enjoy colouring in. The images have all been hand-drawn in an original and vibrant style in a book that is suitable for all ages – from 4 years old upwards!
The Welsh Castles Colouring Book is a collection of beautiful, fun illustrations. The book features the outlines of 21 castles from every corner of Wales, from the defensive fortresses of the native Welsh princes, such as Criccieth, Dinefwr and Dolwyddelan, to invader Edward I’s notorious Ring of Iron, which includes castles such as Beaumaris, Conwy and Rhuddlan. At the front of the book is a list of the castles illustrated, with a little bit of information about the history of each one.
