Private Watercolour Sessions
Mindful creativity, personalised guidance, and time just for you
A bespoke watercolour workshop just for you
Enjoy a relaxed, one-on-one watercolour experience tailored just for you—an opportunity to slow down, find calm, and reconnect with your creativity.
Whether you’re brand new to watercolour painting or looking to improve your skills, each session is designed to meet you exactly where you are, offering gentle encouragement and support every step of the way.
It could be a treat for yourself, or you could make it a 1:2 session and bring a friend, partner, or family member. Either way, you’ll enjoy a gentle, joy-filled space to explore, create, and unwind. With undivided attention and personalised guidance, you'll walk away feeling supported, inspired, and more confident in your creativity.
This isn’t a pre-recorded class or a group where you might get lost in the mix. This is your time, focused entirely on your creative journey.
In a private 1:1 session, you’ll receive personalised guidance from start to finish. Every question is welcomed, and every challenge is met with gentle, helpful support.
Whether you're picking up watercolours for the first time, want to focus on a particular skill, or just enjoy some creative time out, a 1:1 session gives you that opportunity. We’ll work at your pace, so you feel encouraged and inspired throughout.
Each session is shaped around your interests and you get to choose what you paint. Before your session, I’ll ask if there are any themes or subjects you’d love to paint, and I’ll prepare accordingly. If you have something in mind, you’re welcome to bring a picture with you to use as a reference.
The benefit of 1:1 support
Each private watercolour session includes:
A bespoke session tailored to your interests, pace, and experience
Gentle instruction in watercolour techniques, from simple washes and colour blends to layered texture and composition
Personalised guidance throughout to help you get the most out of the session
Use of all tools and materials you could need, including a Daler Rowney watercolour paint set, paintbrushes in a range of sizes and shapes, 300gsm watercolour paper, palettes, fine liners, pencils, erasers, and water jars
A printed copy of my Illustration to Watercolour booklet to help you continue painting afterwards
What’s included
If you’d like to continue painting after your session but save yourself the time and effort working out what you need and ordering supplies, I’ve curated my own set of all the essentials you need. My intention in offering this is to remove the barriers that might hold you back and make it as easy as possible to get going with this wonderful hobby.
Each set includes:
1 x Daler Rowney Aquafine watercolour half pan paint travel set
10 x sheets 5" x 7" 300gsm white cotton watercolour paper
1 x uni-ball 0.1mm PIN black fine line pen
1 x small round paintbrush for finer details
1 x Faber-Castell 2H black matt drawing pencil
1 x Faber-Castell eraser
1 x metal pencil sharpener
I offer each set at £24, allowing you to get what you need at a reasonable price, take it all home with you the same day, and keep that momentum going rather than waiting for deliveries to arrive before you can paint again!
You can also order one anytime via the link below.
Optional add-on: Watercolour Essentials Kit
FAQs

I find 1.5-2 hours to be a nice length of time, but bespoke workshops are flexible in duration and can be tailored to suit your schedule. Whether you'd prefer a shorter creative pause or a longer immersive session, just let me know!
-

I offer flexible scheduling to suit you, which can include daytimes, evenings and weekends. Once you get in touch, we’ll find a time that works perfectly for you.

An additional cost will apply is hire of a space is required and/or travel beyond the Chippenham area is required, dependent on location.

Yes! You can book an online 1:1 session from wherever you are. If you already have your own materials, that’s great—or you can purchase a Watercolour Essentials Kit, which I will post to you in advance and is then yours to keep. Sessions are held via video call using a shared link.
-
As much or as little as you'd like. In a 1:1 setting, you’ll have my full attention—so you can ask questions, get hands-on help, and receive personalised advice throughout. If you prefer a quieter, more intuitive painting space with light guidance, that’s equally welcomed. I’m here to support your process in the way that feels right for you.
-
You’re in the perfect place. No experience is needed, just curiosity. I’ll guide you step by step, making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and excited to keep painting after the session ends.
