Election

Royal Watercolour Society artists are elected on merit by the current Membership - a tradition dating back to the Society’s foundation over 200 years ago. Any professional artist working in watercolour may apply. Our Members’ work is extremely varied, both in style and subject matter, and includes paintings in gouache, acrylic, pen and ink and watercolour mixed media on paper. The election of new Members takes place each spring. Artists wishing to apply should submit three framed watercolours and a portfolio of supporting work for consideration.

The deadline for artists wishing to put themselves forward for election in 2012 has now passed. Please check back in the autumn for details of the 2013 Membership Elections.
