The mother of Princess Beatrice’s stepson has shared a sweet video on Instagram of him creating a painting with her.
“I paint with my son, so he has to use the same materials and colors as me,” Dara explained in her clip, before describing her steps.
He explained that he first starts with a charcoal outline—several circles, for example—before adding a base color. Then add a second layer of color to the paint.
Meanwhile, Wolfie’s artwork included the letter W and other cartoon-like figures, and the young man signed his name on the canvas.
Fans were impressed with the painting, with one writing in the comments section: ‘Lovely!! Wolfie has grown very fast and will soon be taller than his beloved mother. Very talented.’
Another person said: ‘How nice. What a wonderful bond you and Wolf have. Beautiful job.’
Speaking to Architecture magazine in February, Dara spoke about how her upbringing inspired her line of work.
She explained: ‘I loved drawing in my childhood and this led me to pursue a career in architecture.
‘Growing up, I was exposed to diverse cultures and their unique architectural wonders. I remember being fascinated by the way different spaces made me feel and how design could profoundly influence our experiences.’

“I’m not sure why, but I have a feeling that 2024 will be our year and a lot of positivity will come out of it. I’m very excited and ready!” she added.
‘Some ‘workidays’ which is when I have to travel for work, and I turn it into ‘vacations’ too: Miami, London, Paris, Venice, Ibiza, Frankfurt, NYC, Greece.’
