WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF THE ROYAL INSTITUTE OF PAINTERS IN WATER COLOURS

The RI Exhibition at the Mall Galleries in 2009

The Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours is a society of professional watercolour painters. The aims of the society are: to promote watercolour painting; to encourage the use and development of water based mediums and to present the work of its best exponents in its annual exhibitions. The Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, or the R.I. as it is also known, is based in London but its members come from all over the UK and beyond.

The R.I. is a founding member of the Federation of British Artists who's base is at the Mall Galleries in central London. As such it is in a perfect position to promote the art of watercolour and to encourage its continuing development. The society's annual exhibitions in London and regular exhibitions in the UK, Europe and the rest of the World attract work from the best watercolour painters practising today.
