Watercolour Expert by Royal Watercolour Society
Watercolour painting is the quintessential British art form and at 200 years old the Royal Watercolour Society is the oldest watercolour society in the world. In this informative guide, distinguished members of this renowned society offer their insights into the approaches and working methods needed to create successful watercolours. Using examples of their own paintings, these experienced artists explain and analyse their techniques for the benefit of both amateurs making their first watercolour attempts and professionals looking for new ideas. Whether you want to try new methods and techniques, or just take a behind-the-scenes look at some of the world's best watercolourists, allow yourself to be guided by the collective experience of The Watercolour Expert.
In 2004 the Royal Watercolour Society celebrated its bicentenary as the second oldest artistic society within Great Britain (after the Royal Academy) and the oldest watercolour society inthe world. It was founded by a group of mainly young artists who wished to trumpet the glory of painting in watercolour at a time when it was deemed to be a minor art form by the art establishment. The Society was granted the title of Royal in 1881 by Queen Victoria, herself a keen watercolourist, and the Royal connection continues today as HM The Queen is patron of the Society and HRH The Prince of Wales an Honorary Member.
