The Old Watercolour Society

The Old Watercolour Society, founded in 1804 in London, is a prestigious organization dedicated to promoting the art of watercolor painting. It was established by a group of talented artists who wanted to elevate watercolor from a secondary medium to one recognized for its artistic merit. The society provides a platform for its members to exhibit their work, exchange ideas, and uphold high standards of craftsmanship. Over the years, it has played a significant role in shaping the recognition of watercolor as a respected and versatile artistic discipline within the broader art community.
