Demonstrations

Each month during the AWC member meeting, a guest artist presents a demonstration of a different or unique painting technique, or discusses a topic useful to working artists. Demonstrators include artists local to the Annapolis area as well as presenters from as far away as the West coast, Canada, the UK, France, and Poland. Topics may also cover practical subjects such as photographing artwork, framing, and other professional considerations.

April 2026 Spring Fling

David Lawton

Join us for the Annapolis Watercolor Club Spring Fling, an engaging and supportive event designed to help you grow as an artist. Members are invited to bring one painting for a live critique session led by David Lawton, an accomplished artist and experienced exhibit judge. This is a unique opportunity to gain insight from both the creative and evaluative perspectives that shape successful artwork.

David will offer thoughtful, balanced feedback that highlights each piece’s strengths while providing constructive suggestions for improvement. Whether you are refining your technique, preparing for exhibitions, or simply looking to deepen your understanding of your work, this session is designed to be both encouraging and informative. The focus is on learning, sharing, and strengthening your artistic voice within a welcoming community.

To ensure everyone has an opportunity to participate, each member may bring one painting for critique. Space and time are limited, so we encourage you to select a piece you are most interested in developing. Come ready to learn, connect, and be inspired alongside fellow artists in this lively and collaborative setting.
