HIGHGATE HILL, LONDON N6 5HG 11 OCTOBER - 6 NOVEMBER
Our annual exhibition at Lauderdale House has now finished, and once again we all had a very nice time taking visitors round the paintings, and a great many of the paintings have found new homes, which is very pleasing and encouraging. Not everything was sold, though, and if you happen to like a recently posted painting in our members' galleries, it might still be available, just write in to our gmail address via the Contact Us section below and you might be lucky!
To keep up with our painting activities, please follow us on facebook Facebook Page.
The Group was founded in 1980 as part of the Highgate Society
with the aim of enabling
enthusiastic watercolour painters to work together in an
informal friendly atmosphere. We are a mixed bunch – some of
us have painted professionally over a lifetime (and are
members of top London art societies, and in one case, an
international art society), some are newer converts to the
joys of watercolours and other paper-based media. Some of us
also paint in oils and acrylics. We are
enthusiastic about a variety of subjects and really enjoy
painting buildings and townscapes, landscapes and seascapes,
still life, portraits, and, of course, Highgate and other
North London local scenes. If you are thinking
about buying art online, you may like to know that our work
is mainly affordable, and we welcome enquiries.
We are based in 10A South Grove (opposite Pond Square), Highgate, North London (the Highgate Society's premises), where we paint regularly on Thursdays, but we quite often go out and paint together either locally or further afield. We also have periodic visits from professional tutors and models.
We have an autumn show annually in Highgate, as well as
occasional much smaller displays. We also have a stall
at the Highgate Fair in the Square which in 2022 will be onSaturday June 11th.
There are over 20 of us, and although our numbers are constrained by
the size of 10A Pond Square, we currently have a few vacancies! We
are always interested in hearing from any experienced
watercolour artists, or artists who paint in waterbased media on paper, who live reasonably close to
Highgate and who would like to join us and share in our artistic activities. If you like the sound of the HWG, please mail us at highgatewatercolour@gmail.com
Please bear in mind that we have an annual membership fee,
currently standing at £75.
If you have any questions, or would like to hear about upcoming exhibitions and receive an invitation to our annual private view, please mail us at highgatewatercolour@gmail.com. For general news and updates, you can also follow us on Facebook.
