Workshops

    AWC workshops offer artists the chance to learn, explore, and grow through hands-on instruction in a supportive community. Workshops are held in person at various locations around Annapolis, as well as online via Zoom, making them accessible to artists near and far. Past workshops have explored a wide range of techniques and subjects, including landscapes, portraits, ink and wash, architecture, still life, semi abstract approaches, and more. Designed to accommodate all experience levels, from beginners to professional artists, AWC workshops provide engaging learning experiences for everyone looking to refine their skills or try something new. Let us know if there is a specific topic or artist you are interested in.

      Description:  AWC presents a workshop with Naomi entitled "Simple Landscapes with Watercolor Pen and Ink." Naomi will provide a variety of photos.  She will then guide you through sketching and simplifying a composition for painting. Naomi will demonstrate simple uses of watercolors, pen and ink to finalize the painting.  A supply list will be provided upon registration. Naomi will provide materials for your use, however feel free to bring your paints, brushes and pens. Spend the day learning how to create a colorful landscape and also cultivate a new style of painting.

      About the artist:  Originally from Southeast England, Naomi holds a PhD in biochemistry and worked in healthcare before relocating to St. Michaels in 2018.

      Her vibrant artwork captures local flora and fauna. The Eastern Shore and Chesapeake Bay landscapes fondly remind her of the River Thames salt marshes of her childhood.  She masterfully translates these scenes using watercolors, acrylics, pastels, and oils.

      Naomi is highly active in the regional art scene, serving  as:

      President of the Working Artists Forum

      Instructor at the Academy in Easton

      Member of the St. Michaels Art League

      Plein Air Painter with the Painters of the Chesapeake Bay

      She also recently exhibited her work at the juried 47th Annual Art Fair in Oxford,Maryland alongside Annapolis Watercolor Club President Linda Luke.  Naomi was our demonstrator for our June meeting.
