The Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours (RSW) is a Scottish organisation of painters. The first preliminary meeting of the society took place in Glasgow on 21 December 1877 as a reaction to a lack of interest in watercolour art by existing exhibitors. The society was inaugurated on 4 March 1878 with the election of its first president, and vice president, Sam Bough. Its first exhibition of 172 pictures took place in November. It was founded to "promote, through exhibition, the medium of watercolour and encourage the bold, free and colourful qualities of Scottish Painting."

dbo:abstract
  • Die Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours (RSW) ist eine schottische Vereinigung von Künstlern. Die RSW wurde 1876 mit Unterstützung der Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh gegründet. Die Gründungsmitglieder, die meisten Maler, wollten damit ein Gremium schaffen, welches sie bei ihrem künstlerischen Schaffen fördern und unterstützen konnte. Dieses geschah (und geschieht bis heute) hauptsächlich durch Ausstellungen, Vorträge u. a. Anlässlich des zehnjährigen Bestehens wurde der RSW durch Königin Victoria 1886 eine königliche Satzung verliehen. Aufgrund dieser Royal Charter war es der Gesellschaft nun erlaubt, die Bezeichnung „Royal“ ihrem Namen voranzustellen. (de)

The society received permission from Queen Victoria to use the prefix "Royal" in February 1888. In around 1894 the society changed its rules to allow female artists to be admitted with the same privileges as male artists. Throughout its history many renowned artists have been members, including David McClure, William McTaggart, Adam Bruce Thomson, Claire Harrigan, George Paul Chalmers, Alison Dunlop, William Somerville Shanks, Elizabeth Blackadder and Barbara Rae. Past presidents include William J L Baillie (1975–1988), Ian McKenzie Smith (1988–1998), Philip T L Reeves (1998–2005), John Inglis (2005–2016); the current president is Jim Dunbar. Past vice presidents include Alison Dunlop, Helga Chart, Gregor Smith and Iona Montgomery. (en)
