Royal Watercolour Society

The Society is a centre of excellence for water-based media on paper, which allows for a diverse and interesting range of approaches to the medium of watercolour.

The members seceded from the Royal Academy where they felt that their work commanded insufficient respect and attention.

The RWS holds regular exhibitions presenting the finest in British contemporary works on paper.

Current members include Sonia Lawson, Elizabeth Blackadder, Richard Bawden, Robin Richmond, and David Remfry.
