ROYAL INSTITUTE OF PAINTERS IN WATER COLOURSThe Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours is one of the oldest societies of professional watercolour painters. The aims of the society are: to promote painting in watercolours; to encourage the use and development of water based mediums and to present the work of its best exponents in its annual exhibitions. The RI is based in London but its members come from all over the UK and beyond.
The RI's 201st exhibition, which has now closed, was opened by well known critic, writer and broadcaster, Anthony J Lester, at the Mall Galleries Private View on 4 April. The exhibition filled all the FBA galleries including the new, cutting edge Threadneedle Space.
