Watercolour has been described as a truly English Art with most of its finest practitioners - Turner - Constable - Crome and Cozens, at some time in their lives, visiting and painting the landscape of Wales.
Watercolour is still regarded as the pictorial medium, with which the artist and layman have been most happily associated.
The Watercolour Society of Wales founded in 1959 to exhibit and promote the medium of watercolour by Welsh artists living and or working in Wales Recognising the many new advances in materials and technology the definition has and continues to be extended to include all the versatile forms of water-soluble media.

Under the Society's constitution members are appointed by invitation or selection mainly from established professional artists. Some have backgrounds in other disciplines such as architecture, sculpture and the teaching professions.
The Society exhibits regularly at major galleries and museums in Wales and beyond, individual members hold one man shows and shared exhibitions throughout the UK and abroad.
The Watercolour Society of Wales has maintained this tradition and over the years it's members have produced work revealing infinitely varied handling and many different methods of approach - from the broadest wash to the most delicate detail.
Throughout this website one can appreciate the works in which the artist has shown a personal approach and individual control of the medium in so many different ways.
The Watercolour Society of Wales, hopes to clarify the purpose of this site and to bring to the viewer that watercolour painting in Wales is alive and well.
