One from our very large collection of watercolours by Fred Lawson.

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.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Mid-20th-century British watercolour landscapes often feature atmospheric washes, loose pen-and-ink line work, and an emphasis on regional rural or industrial scenes, capturing changing light and architectural heritage across the countryside.

Pen and wash drawings typically combine dip pens or fountain pens using waterproof India ink with water-soluble watercolour paints applied over heavyweight rag paper.

Authentic watercolours from this period generally show artist signatures, dates written directly in ink or pencil, age-appropriate paper toning, and evidence of original fluid brushwork rather than mechanical print dot patterns.

Displaying a vintage watercolour drawing inside a clean-lined wooden frame with a neutral mat mount creates an elegant accent above a sideboard, writing desk, or within a gallery wall sequence.

Frame paper works behind UV-protective glass, use acid-free mounting materials, and hang the picture away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent fading and foxing.
