Private Watercolor Lesson

Learn at your pace. Grow in your style.

Whether you’re exploring watercolor for the first time or want to refine your voice as a painter, Teresa offers personalized private lessons designed just for you.

Discover the joy of watercolor in a one-on-one setting with Teresa Cook, an award-winning watercolor artist and instructor. Whether you’re just starting your artistic journey or seeking to refine your technique, Teresa’s private lessons are tailored to meet your individual goals, pace, and interests.

Held in Teresa’s cozy 10x20 lofted backyard studio in Jacksonville, FL—or virtually from the comfort of your home—these sessions are designed to nurture your creative confidence. You’ll explore a variety of watercolor techniques, tools, and surfaces (including Yupo paper), and learn how to loosen up your style while building skill and understanding.
