What To Expect

Spend an hour and a half making memories and being creative in one America's oldest and most beautiful towns! There's lots to do in Naptown - but why not choose an activity that will teach you a new skill and gain you a one-of-a-kind souvenir? Join me, Em Campbell, local artist and teacher, on an art adventure at the Maryland State House, one of Annapolis' most iconic landmarks. What to expect: This is an outdoor activity. We will spend the first ten minutes getting acquainted with each other and our supplies. (I will bring everything you need) Find a comfy spot or borrow one of my camp chairs, and follow along as I show you how to make your masterpiece. You will use real watercolors, a mess-free waterbrush, and premium watercolor paper. A pre-sketched drawing of our subject is already on the paper, so you can dive right into painting. If you get stuck or need help, never fear, I'll be there to guide you to creative success.

A great way to experience the old town of Annapolis feel, the architecture and history while delving into one’s sketch and learning all about watercolors. Very patient teacher, able to build on whatever level one has. Engaging. Inspiring. A must.

I did this with my eight-year-old grandson for his birthday. He had a great time and enjoyed learning new painting techniques. Em is an excellent teacher, explaining things very clearly and giving suggestions on how to make your painting your own. I highly recommend this activity.
A unique & fun experience!

My girlfriend and I took a watercolor class with an instructor, where we painted a prominent building in Annapolis. The instructor provided all the materials and supplies, making it super easy for us to dive right in. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining, which made the experience even more enjoyable. As we worked on our paintings, people passing by couldn’t help but comment on how cute our little date was. We would definitely book the watercolor class again!
Fun and fascinating!

This workshop was delightful! Em is a true professional and an expert in the medium of watercolor, yet her teaching style is relaxed, encouraging and a lot of fun! I used to be intimidated by watercolor, but Em de-mystified it and I ended up painting something I’m actually quite proud of. For each student, she had pre-sketched an outline of what we were painting in pencil so that we could focus on learning watercolor technique instead of frustrating ourselves trying to draw something we liked from scratch. I was surprised by how flexible and forgiving watercolor can be! My favorite part was seeing how each person’s painting turned out so unique to them. I would absolutely recommend this workshop to anyone interested in learning more about watercolor or anyone interested in experiencing a fun and interesting way to observe and enjoy downtown Annapolis!
