Hampstead Heath Reflections Painting
One of those perfect mornings at the Mixed Bathing Pond when the water goes completely still. The Victorian buildings double themselves in the reflection – solid stone above, liquid paint below.

Why Collectors Choose Hampstead Heath Watercolours
Hampstead Heath has been painted by artists for over 200 years, but each painting captures something that won’t repeat. The light, weather, and reflections change completely from one day to the next.
This painting focuses on the Mixed Bathing Pond, one of the Heath’s most iconic locations. The Victorian buildings surrounding the pond create architectural interest, while the water’s surface transforms them into abstract patterns.
About Plein Air Watercolour Painting
Painted entirely on location in a single 3-4 hour session. No studio work, no photographs – just direct observation of the scene. This approach captures the atmosphere and light quality that exists only in that specific moment.
The water reflections in this painting show why plein air matters. Reflections shift constantly with wind and light. What you see in this painting existed for maybe 20-30 minutes before conditions changed.
Hampstead Heath as Subject
The Heath offers endless painting locations across 790 acres. The ponds, Parliament Hill views, Kenwood House, and ancient woodlands each provide distinct subjects. This painting represents the quieter, more contemplative side of the Heath – early morning before the swimmers arrive.
Many collectors choose Hampstead Heath paintings because they capture a London landscape that feels worlds away from the city, despite being just minutes from central London.
