THE WAPPING GROUP OF ARTISTS
Painting Outdoors Along London's River

WGA

Originally founded in 1946-setting a pattern for the future, in a pub-to record the working life of London's dockland, this artist's society has been hard at work ever since. The members meet weekly between April and September to paint outdoors, in a wide variety of locations and in all weathers. Always true to their Thames-side origins ,they work from landlocked Henley right out to east coast harbours such as Maldon. Their exhibitions are a perpetual delight of tideway and river bank, sunlight and showers, boats and architecture. With over 200 illustrations, a review of sixty years of painting London's river, and personal narratives by the Group's current members, including painters recognised nationally and internationally, this book is as delightful as their exhibitions.

The members with diverse interests and talents paint outdoors along London's river between April and September:
