| ::Sorry, Cultural Freedom, but I don't agree. Look, there is an Englisch School (see article: http://en.wikipedia.org/Watercolor_painting#English_school ), but there (so far) isn't an American School of watercolo(u)r (although we surely find excellent artists of aquarelle in Canada and the US) ... so I think the article should be http://en.wikipedia.org/Watercolour_painting . All the famous societies wrote an write colour instead of color: "the Society of Painters in Water Colours (1804, now known as the Royal Watercolour Society), and the New Water Colour Society (1832, now known as the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours). (A Scottish Society of Painters in Water Colour was founded in 1878, now known as the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour.)" ] (]) 17:55, 12 March 2015 (UTC) | |||
| :::You do realize his comment was 8 years ago? It seems that in 2003 we had 2 articles - one for each spelling - which .

| If you have a reliable source for your claim that it is so much more a British than an American medium, and can provide proof that there are say...more Brits painting in watercolors today than Americans, then by all means be bold and make the edit. You'll only find cheap watercolor sets by the truckload in U.S. public schools, variety stores, etc. And we all know that the United States has never done anything that the Brits didn't do first. Right? Especially when Brits write "history". | |||

| There are several entire sections without any citation whatsoever. Some of the text seems to be stating subjective opinion as fact (i.e. the superiority of one type of brush over another).I know little about the artform, so I can't tell what is or isn't likely to be common knowledge or likely to be supported by references. however, that goes to the point that if what is written here is assumed to be common knowledge, it's not very common. There needs to be a pretty decent overhaul of this text with citations...as it stands this reads like someone's book report on watercolors rather than an encyclopedic entry. I wouldn't know where to start, but someone must have some experience in this field, and could add a reference or two. I don't want to start galumphing through erasing uncited text as an uninformed reader. But something needs to be done here.] (]) 22:18, 29 May 2013 (UTC) | |||

French pronunciation of "aquarelle"
The page lists the french pronunciation of "aquarelle" as /akarel/. That's not the right pronunciation, or at least I've never heard anyone pronounce it like that. The pronunciation I'd use, and the one wiktionary lists, is /akwarel/: https://fr.wiktionary.org/aquarelle — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.1.50.201 (talk) 22:16, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
