Robert Thorne Waite was born in Cheltenham on 18 April 1842, the seventh of eight children of the watchmaker, Thomas Waite, and his wife, Elizabeth (née Amphlett). He was educated at Cheltenham Grammar School, and then, from 1860, he studied art at the National Art Training School, South Kensington, London. During the mid 1860s, he worked at Bettws-y-Coed, North Wales, alongside his close contemporary, Thomas Collier, developing a style that emulated the work of David Cox and Copley Fielding.
Thorne Waite exhibited mainly at the Royal Society of Painters in Water-Colours, being elected an associate in 1876 and a full member in 1884. He showed at a range of venues, including the Royal Academy of Arts and a number of dealers, and was also elected to the Royal British Colonial Society of Artists and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the latter in 1883.
