About Fred Lawson (1888-1968):

A landscape painter. Fred was born at Yeadon, near Leeds. He studied at Dewsbury and Leeds Schools of Art. On a visit to Wensleydale in 1910 with George Graham, they decided to settle there and shared a studio for several years. Fred married the young Muriel Metcalfe of Leyburn in 1933, who was also a painter.

Exhibited at the R.A., R.I. and at numerous exhibitions of Yorkshire artists. Contributed illustrations to The Dalesman from the first issue and for ten years wrote a monthly feature for the magazine. Illustrated several books, including a number by Dorothy Una Ratcliffe.

Travelled in France and Holland, but most of his work depicts the scenery and life of Wensleydale. One of the most fluent and spontaneous water-colourists of his time, he was particularly adept at capturing autumnal tints. A close friend of many Yorkshire artists including Jacob Kramer, Henrietta Lister and George Jackson. His daughter Sonia Lawson is also a painter of high repute.

A retrospective exhibition was held in Middlesbrough Art Gallery in 1969. He was the founder and leading member of the Castle Bolton group of artists. Died in Castle Bolton, Redmire, where he had lived for nearly sixty years.

  • ObjectWatercolour Painting
  • Period1900 - 1920
  • StylePost-Impressionism
  • MaterialWatercolour, Paper

  • MotifsBare tree trunks, figure silhouettes, fluid watercolour washes
  • SizeH 33.5 cm (13 in) x W 41 cm (16 in) x D 3 cm (1 in)

Early 20th-century impressionist watercolours focus on capturing light, atmospheric conditions, and fleeting moments through fluid washes and expressive brushwork rather than rigid detail.

Artists utilised water-based pigments painted onto heavy cotton rag paper or watercolour card, often incorporating light pencil or ink underdrawing to define form.

Authentic works feature distinct hand-painted pigment layering, artist signatures, paper ageing such as mild toning or foxing, and visible brush technique under magnification.

Mount the artwork in a simple wooden or gilt frame with an acid-free passe-partout and place it on a gallery wall or above a console table to add historic depth.

Keep watercolours away from direct sunlight and high humidity, framing them behind UV-protective glass with archival mounting materials to prevent fading and paper degradation.
