  • The Royal Watercolour Society is an English institution of painters working in watercolours. It was founded as the Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1804 by William Frederick Wells and its original membership was: William Sawrey Gilpin, Robert Hills, John Claude Nattes, John Varley, Cornelius Varley, Francis Nicholson, Samuel Shelley, William Henry Pyne and Nicholas Pocock. The members seceded from the Royal Academy where they felt that their work commanded insufficient respect and attention. In 1812, the Society reformed as the Society of Painters in Oil and Watercolours, reverting to its original name in 1820. The Society obtained its Royal charter 1881 under the presidency of Sir John Gilbert as the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours. In 1988, it changed its name again to the Royal Watercolour Society, by which it had always previously been generally known. Current members include Sonia Lawson, Elizabeth Blackadder and David Remfry. It is a separate organisation from the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours.

  • La Royal Watercolour Society è una istituzione inglese costituita da pittori che utilizzano la tecnica dell'acquarello. Essa venne fondata come Society of Painters in Water Colours nel 1804 di William Frederick Wells e gli altri membri fondatori furono: William Sawrey Gilpin, Robert Hills, John Claude Nattes, John Varley, Cornelius Varley, Francis Nicholson, Samuel Shelley, William Henry Pyne e Nicholas Pocock. I membri pervenivano da una secessione dalla Royal Academy dove, secondo loro, le loro opere non godevano il rispetto che essi ritenevano dovessero avere. Nel 1812, la Society venne ridenominata Society of Painters in Oil and Watercolours, tornando poi al nome originale nel 1820. Essa ottenne l'approvazione Reale nel 1881 sotto la presidenza di sir John Gilbert come Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours. Nel 1988, cambiò nuovamente la sua denominazione in Royal Watercolour Society, nome con il quale era generalmente conosciuta in passato. Fra i suoi membri attuali si ricordano Sonia Lawson, Elizabeth Blackadder e David Remfry. Essa è un'orgazione staccata del Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours.
