The Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours define a watercolour painting as:
A painting made using water soluble media, on a paper based support.
We are interested in the development of painting using all water soluble mediums. Any work that does not conform to the preceeding definition will only be accepted for hanging in the annual exhibition in special circumstances and then only by a majority vote of the selection committee.
Framing
All pictures should be well presented and framed under glass with the image isolated from the frame by a mount. Frames and mounts of an unusual colour, size or design may prejudice the chance of hanging.
The Mall Galleries give full information about their framing requirements in the Registration Pack available from: The Mall Galleries, 17 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5BD.
