In 2004 the Royal Watercolour Society celebrated its bicentenary as the second oldest artistic society within Great Britain (after the Royal Academy) and the oldest watercolour society inthe world. It was founded by a group of mainly young artists who wished to trumpet the glory of painting in watercolour at a time when it was deemed to be a minor art form by the art establishment. The Society was granted the title of Royal in 1881 by Queen Victoria, herself a keen watercolourist, and the Royal connection continues today as HM The Queen is patron of the Society and HRH The Prince of Wales an Honorary Member.
