Learn How to Paint in Watercolour

Spiritual Minded Beginners Welcome

Watercolour Mastery for New Artists

You do not need talent, training or any experience. You just need someone to show you how to begin. If you have never held a brush, or a self-taught novice, you are exactly who this was created for.

Who this is for

  • Complete beginners and new hobbyists
  • Anyone simply curious, no beliefs required
  • Retirees ready for a new, soulful pursuit
  • Anyone drawn to spiritual or intuitive art
  • Beginner spirit artists
  • Developing psychic artists
  • Developing mediums (any level)
  • Spiritual healers and therapists
Read more +

You do not need to be actively walking a spiritual path. An interest in spiritual art is more than enough. And if you are a developing or experienced medium, unable to draw or paint, these first steps in painting will deepen and elevate the work you already do.

Read more +

Every technique is taught slowly, step by step, from the very beginning. Those with a little skill are just as welcome, you will simply build on what you already know. Nothing here is advanced, rushed or judged.

Choose Your Next Step

Begin Your Journey

The mere thought of learning to draw is scary for beginners, let alone painting. However, Anne-Marie teaches how watercolour becomes more than a painting technique; it becomes a quiet practice of observation, expression and creative wellbeing. This spiritual watercolour painting discovery journey opens the door to painting with intuition, sensitivity and personal meaning.

Read more +

When you paint with water, you are working with the very medium that already flows through you, and the pigment becomes a quiet mirror of what moves within. For new and developing psychic artists, spirit artists and spiritual mediums, this makes watercolour a language of the unseen, and the natural sensitivity of water helps deepen your connection to spirit.

Chapter One

Why watercolour, and why now

Improve Your Intuition

Watercolour is the most honest of mediums (no pun intended). It rewards patience, presence and surrender. Water itself is a conduit: the same element that makes up nearly seventy percent of the human body carries memory, feeling and subtle energy.

Read more +

Mediumship, spiritual speaking, healing and other spiritual modalities are all deepened when you open to the inner peace and calm that watercolour painting provides. Just as mediumship development teaches you to sit in the power, hold the power and use the power, connecting to spirit through watercolour teaches you to be at one with the power of patience.

A spirit portrait in progress.
01

Observation

Awaken your eye. Watercolour teaches you to see light, shadow and spirit with quiet precision.

Ideal for novices, you learn to truly see before you paint.

02

Confidence

Learn to trust your hand as pigment meets paper, every mark a step into your own voice.

No prior experience needed, confidence is built brushstroke by brushstroke.

03

Creativity

Loosen the grip of perfection. Discover a fluid, intuitive practice that mirrors the soul.

Perfect for beginners who wish to grow beyond copying, into their own style.

04

Expression

For developing psychic artists, spirit artists and mediums seeking to paint what they sense.

A gentle, supported path for those taking their very first steps into art.

Pigment releasing quietly into water, the beginning of every painting.

  • Personal feedback throughout every lesson
  • Immediate guidance and correction
  • Build confidence much faster

The Discovery of Watercolour (Course 1) has now reached capacity for the 2026 intake, and all places have been reserved. Rather than waiting until the next intake, you can still begin your artistic journey through private one-to-one tuition with Anne-Marie.

These personalised sessions have been designed to help complete beginners develop the same essential foundations taught in Course 1, allowing you to build confidence and prepare for Course 2 without losing momentum. It's about understanding why techniques work, developing confidence with every brushstroke, and creating strong foundations that will support your artistic journey for years to come.

Private tuition gives us the opportunity to work together at a pace that suits you, ensuring you gain the confidence needed before progressing into Course 2.

More Than Painting

A journey woven with spirit

A tender seedling emerging, painted in aubergine watercolour with soft gold

Starting your watercolour art journey is not only about watercolour paintings.

If you sense that aspects of your mediumship or other spiritual practices have grown quiet or stagnant, perhaps it is time to consider a path of art that may gently recalibrate the alignment you have been seeking.

Read more +

Woven through every session are the deeper teachings of spiritual mediumship, spirit connection, public speaking and intuitive expression, gifts you will carry into every other area of your spiritual development long after the final brushstroke.

Through her painting demonstrations, Anne-Marie explains when, how and where your spirit connection grows, and how the very essence of painting mirrors and heightens aspects of your mediumistic development.

Confidence isn't built by collecting more courses. It's built by staying the course.

Everything You Need to Know

Course Details

You are going to develop watercolour art skills to increase intuition for furthering your spirit connection.

More Than A Few Sessions

A deluxe mentorship, not a short course.

When you join Watercolour Mastery Mentorship for Spiritual development, you're not simply booking a handful of online lessons.

You're joining a carefully structured mentorship where every week builds upon the last. Each live session is supported with printable resources, replay recordings, practice exercises, additional learning, reference material, and personal encouragement to help you develop your confidence both during and between classes.

Read more +

Anne-Marie has spent almost thirty years teaching adults, has a recognised teaching qualification and has designed this mentorship to remove the fear that so many beginners carry. Rather than rushing through techniques, she will support you in building stronger foundations, helping you understand not just what to do, but why it works.

One of the biggest reasons beginners struggle isn't a lack of talent. It's trying to learn from ten different teachers, each showing a different way. Watercolour becomes confusing when every voice tells you something different. Mediumship development becomes confusing too, when one teacher teaches psychic mediumship and others teach evidential mediumship, and so on.

Either Course 2, or 3 and across the weeks together, Anne-Marie simply ask you to trust the process.

Read more +

Follow one path. Build one strong foundation. Then, once those foundations are in place, you'll have the confidence to explore your own artistic voice. Because what you're investing in isn't simply a few evenings together. It's the beginning of a skill that can bring peace, creativity and confidence for years to come.

"My greatest joy isn't creating another painting. It's watching someone who once whispered, 'I can't paint,' quietly smile because they've just proved themselves wrong."
, Anne-Marie Bond

Words from the studio

"

I highly recommend Anne-Marie's Spirit Art and Watercolour classes. She is an exceptional teacher who explains watercolour techniques with great precision and attention to detail, making them easy to understand regardless of your experience level.

Donna A.

Student

"

Just completed the first watercolour class in Anne-Marie's Mentorship programme. I am so excited to continue learning. Because I know her teaching style totally matches my learning style, I have full confidence that I will grow as an artist week by week.

Carolyn S.

Mentorship Student

"

I would like to thank Anne-Marie for so generously sharing her knowledge, wisdom and guidance. Her encouragement and belief in me helped strengthen my confidence every step of the way. Not only did I develop new skills, but I also gained the confidence to create Spirit Art portraits and establish meaningful connections with the spirit world.

First lesson watercolour, learned that water and paint can create magic. Looking forward to the next lessons.

The watercolour lesson was a very intense and helpful first dive into different colour washes and it was very well taught and easy to follow with really nice first results. I loved reconnecting with watercolour on a new level.

First attempt at watercolours, feeling brave attempting this, for me, unknown territory! It's amazing how much we learned in just one session. Anne-Marie has got the skills to keep you interested and inspired. Looking forward to the next session.

I'm really happy to start this new course with Anne-Marie, where I will finally learn all the basics and hopefully improve my techniques. I also look forward to continuing working with the lovely students met during previous courses.

I have just finished the Spirit Portrait mentorship. Anne-Marie has an amazing way to teach spirit art, very encouraging and supportive. Before I started to work with her, I always thought I can't draw and now I dare to fill a blank paper, feel very much connected with myself and spirit and enjoy whatever comes up. It was an absolutely joyful journey and has enriched my mediumship in ways I never expected. Anne-Marie has easy and very helpful techniques for drawing faces with an eye for details and at the same time being open to let spirit take its part. Thank you, Anne-Marie, from the bottom of my heart, I never thought I would come so far and will definitely come back to other courses.

Karin

Spirit Portrait Mentorship

"

Anne-Marie's Spirit Portrait Mentorship has helped me to move from a diffuse feeling of how to draw a spirit portrait to a very structured and logical approach of how to draw a face that looks human with proper proportions. This was my main goal in participating in this class and Anne-Marie really helped me get there. But I did not expect to become so much faster in drawing portraits and so much more confident in my abilities. Now I know how I can proceed and keep practicing with a great foundation of knowledge on which I can build upon. The student group was very supportive of each other and it also helped to gain confidence and to receive inspiration from all the other ways of drawing portraits. It also helped me to keep going. It sure was a lot of work, but SO worth it. Thank you from my heart, Anne-Marie. You are a great teacher.

Manuela M.

Returning Student

"

Overall, this course has given me much more self-confidence in my drawing abilities. Looking back at where I started and seeing how much I have progressed has been incredibly rewarding. If someone wants to make significant progress in a short period of time, I highly recommend this course. It is definitely worth investing the time, completing all the homework, and attending every single session. The commitment truly pays off. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and I know I will be back for another course to continue developing my skills. You are a fantastic teacher.

Fiona D.

Spirit Art Mentorship

"

I have just completed the Portrait of Spirit Mentorship and I have enjoyed the complete experience from the very first lesson to the last. It has been said what an experienced, thoughtful tutor Anne-Marie is and I will endorse that, as she has taught me and I found this reflected throughout the entire mentorship. Each lesson was well structured and layer on layer you came away having added to the previous week by building. I knew from week one we were in safe hands and I was mesmerised when Anne-Marie displayed her skills by demonstrating live with us within the lesson. It is fascinating to watch an artist at work and you learn so much just watching before you go and try.

Sheryl R.

Foundation Student

"

I have learned so much by taking this course and I am more confident in taking time to draw faces on a regular basis. My personal experience has been one that has given me confidence to connect and draw portraits of spirit and the tools and knowledge to continue developing this skill. I am extremely grateful for all the tuition from Anne-Marie, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and encouraging me to develop more.

Kate C.

Spirit Portrait Student

"

I've always liked art drawings since I was in high school, thanks to my art teacher, who got me interested. It's been some time since I did art, but after today's first session, I could feel my happy heart rising again. Thank you to all and to Anne-Marie. Very lovely class!

An Invitation to Begin

You don't have to start with creativity

So many arrive here whispering the same quiet worry, "I've never painted, I'm not creative, I wouldn't know where to begin." Please hear this gently: you do not need to arrive creative. You only need someone to help you discover the creativity that is already, quietly, inside you.

Anne-Marie is a professional medium, spiritual artist, international demonstrator, public speaker, mentor and coach of more than twenty-eight years. She has spent her life showing adults, many of whom had never held a brush, that watercolour is not a test of talent. It is a doorway. A doorway into stillness, into intuition, and for those on a mediumistic path, into a far deeper connection with spirit.

Read more +

Watercolour teaches the very qualities mediumship asks of us: presence, surrender, trust and the courage to let something move through you. Each wash of colour is a small act of listening. Each brushstroke, a rehearsal for the sensitivity your mediumship depends upon. Students consistently share that their readings deepen, their symbols sharpen and their confidence blossoms after only a few weeks at the paper.

If you have ever felt drawn to spirit art, to psychic portraiture, to healing or visionary work, and told yourself "one day, when I'm more creative", this is your one day. Come exactly as you are. Anne-Marie will meet you there, and together you will uncover an artist and a medium you did not know you were.

You Can Do This

01

You are not 'not creative'

You have simply never been shown the door. Creativity is not a talent reserved for a chosen few, it is a birthright waiting to be uncovered.

02

Watercolour softens the mind

The rhythm of water and pigment quiets the analytical mind, the very state in which mediumistic sensitivity naturally awakens.

03

Guided, not left to guess

With a mentor who is medium, artist, demonstrator, speaker and coach, every step is held. You are never alone with a blank page.

"You do not need to be an artist to begin. You need only be willing to be met."

, Anne-Marie Bond

Questions

Frequently asked

Yes. The Foundation course is designed for extreme beginners, you need only bring curiosity and a willingness to begin.

This is an adult mentorship for those aged 25 and above. It is not a children's art class.

All teaching is delivered live via Zoom, in small, supportive groups so every student is seen and held.

A curated materials list is included in your prospectus. Anne-Marie recommends professional-grade watercolour paper, brushes and paints for the truest experience.

Each course stands beautifully on its own, though students who complete all three receive the Watercolour Mastery Certificate of Completion.

Every live class is recorded and made available for a limited replay period, giving you time to revisit each lesson, practise between sessions and absorb the teaching at your own pace.

Yes. If you already have some watercolour experience, or have completed a Private Foundation Programme with Anne-Marie, you are warmly welcome to begin at Course 2.

Course 1 is fully booked for 2026. You can either join the waiting list for the 2027 intake, or book a Private Foundation Programme with Anne-Marie to fast-track your foundations before Course 2 begins.

Yes. Private one-to-one tuition is available for students who prefer a bespoke pace, deeper personal guidance, or who have missed the current Course 1 intake.

Students who successfully complete Courses 1, 2 and 3 receive the Watercolour Mastery Certificate of Completion. VIP students receive a hard-copy, hand-signed certificate posted to them.

Watercolour, like any quiet practice, rewards consistency. A little painting between classes, even an hour or two, allows the techniques to settle and your confidence to grow naturally.

Course II

Spirit art, explained

Neuro spirit art, auragraphs and reading through your own painting, answered simply.

Neuro spirit art is a gentle, flowing form of intuitive mark-making where continuous lines and soft washes are allowed to move without a fixed plan. Rather than painting a subject, you follow the impulse of the hand while the mind quietens. In Course II you will create a neuro spirit artwork for self-healing, learning how the rhythm of the line settles the nervous system and opens the sensitivity that mediumship depends upon.

An auragraph is a symbolic painting of a person's energy field. Colours, shapes and placements each carry meaning, and together they form a visual map of someone's journey, their strengths, their challenges and the influences around them. You will paint your own auragraph in Course II and learn how to read the symbolism it holds.

You begin with a still mind and a blank sheet, then allow colour and mark to arrive without editing them. Once the painting is complete, Anne-Marie guides you through interpreting what appeared: where the colours sit, which symbols repeat, and what the composition is saying. The artwork becomes the evidence, and the reading is delivered from what your own hand has created.

No. Course II welcomes evidential mediums, developing sensitives and students who simply feel drawn to intuitive painting. The exercises meet you at whatever stage you are at, and no prior reading experience is required.

This is the most common worry, and it passes. The teaching is structured so that you are never sitting in front of a blank page unaided. Anne-Marie demonstrates each stage live, explains when and how the connection builds, and the techniques themselves invite the impression in. Trust grows session by session.

Only if you wish. Groups are limited to nine students so there is time for personal feedback, but sharing is always an invitation, never an expectation. Many students prefer to listen first and share when they feel ready.

Alongside the neuro spirit artwork and the auragraph, you will paint a spirit guide, a three-aura boat seascape, six varied watercolour backgrounds, a creative swash for blending colours and two ink and wash spirit portraits, plus a little surprise extra.

Step by step

How the reading unfolds

The exact process we follow in class, from the first grounding to delivering the message, and everything you will need to bring with you.

Every reading session begins the same way. Anne-Marie leads a short grounding and attunement, the lights are lowered, and the room becomes quiet. You place your paper, water and brushes within easy reach so that nothing interrupts you once the connection begins. This settling stage is never rushed, it is what allows the impressions to arrive cleanly.

You are guided to hold a single, simple intention, whether that is a message for yourself, for a fellow student, or for a sitter you have in mind. The intention is spoken silently and then released. You do not hold on to it while painting, because expectation is the one thing that blocks the flow.

With the intention released, you begin. Colour is chosen by instinct rather than thought, and the first marks are made without correcting or planning them. Anne-Marie demonstrates each stage live on camera so you always know what to do next. Whatever appears on the paper is left exactly as it is, because those first honest marks carry the most information.

Step 4: Allowing the painting to buildEnrolled students only
Step 5: Reading the coloursEnrolled students only
Step 6: Reading the symbols and placementEnrolled students only
Step 7: Delivering the messageEnrolled students only
Step 8: Feedback and refinementEnrolled students only

Watercolour paper (300gsm cold-pressed is ideal, A4 or A3), a basic watercolour palette or pans, a round brush and a larger wash brush, two jars of clean water, kitchen roll, a pencil and eraser, masking tape and a board to stretch your paper, and a notebook and pen for recording impressions. A quiet, well-lit space and a warm drink complete the setup. Nothing expensive is required, your existing materials will be perfectly sufficient.

Only a little time. Arrive five minutes early so you are not rushing, have your water changed and your paper taped down before we begin, and switch off notifications. If you are painting for a specific person, simply hold their first name in mind. Nothing else is needed, you do not prepare the reading in advance.

Steps 4 to 8 are shared in full with enrolled students once your place is confirmed.

Places are limited to preserve the intimacy of each group. Reserve your seat, or request the prospectus to receive the full mentorship guide.

Why only nine seats

Courses II and III are deliberately capped at just 9 students. This intimate circle allows Anne-Marie to give each student focused, one-to-one guidance during every live session, review individual work in depth, and hold a truly personal space for your spiritual and artistic development, something impossible in a larger group.

The power of nine

In numerology, 9 is the number of completion, wisdom and spiritual awakening. It carries the energy of the old soul, the humanitarian and the creative visionary, those drawn to serve, to heal and to express something deeper through their art. Nine gathers the lessons of every number before it and offers them back as insight, compassion and quiet mastery. To sit within a circle of nine is to sit within a field of completion, where each student's journey strengthens the whole.
