Private Tuition
Private Watercolour Development
A focused 3-hour session, shaped around the course level you choose and the skills you most want to strengthen.
Sometimes the right course comes along at the wrong time.
You may love the mentorship but find the dates clash with work, family commitments, travel or another appointment. You may already be enrolled and simply want more individual support to strengthen your technique.
Private Watercolour Development gives you the opportunity to work directly with Anne-Marie in a focused one-to-one session, without waiting for another group intake.
Choose the course level you would like to develop, and your session will be shaped around the essential techniques and practical skills taught within that stage of the Watercolour Mastery pathway.

Focus & Fit
Why private tuition, and who it serves
In a group class, the teaching must naturally move at a shared pace.
In a private session, every explanation, demonstration and correction is focused on you.
This means Anne-Marie can identify exactly where you are hesitating, what may be limiting your progress and which techniques will help you improve most effectively.
The value is not simply having more time.
The value is receiving the right guidance at the right moment.
Private tuition may be suitable if you:
- Cannot attend the advertised course dates
- Missed the Course 1 intake
- Want to prepare before joining Course 2
- Want to strengthen your skills before Course 3
- Prefer learning one-to-one
- Feel nervous in a group setting
- Want more personal feedback
- Are already enrolled but would like additional support
- Have reached a plateau and need focused direction
- Want to develop more quickly and confidently
