Private 1-to-1 Art Lessons in Singapore

Private 1-to-1 art lessons at Art by Ancourage offer fully personalised instruction with a dedicated LASALLE-trained instructor. Each session is tailored to your goals, pace, and preferred art mediums — whether you want to develop foundational drawing and painting skills, prepare a DSA or SOTA portfolio, explore watercolour or oil painting, or work on a specific creative project. Private lessons are available across all our art programmes: Crafty Corner (ages 3-5), Mini Masters (ages 6-8), Explorative Art (ages 9-99+), and Professional Fine Art (ages 9-99+). You receive the same expert instruction and professional-grade materials as our group classes but with 100% of the instructor's attention and a curriculum customised entirely to your individual learning objectives. Personalised instruction allows every session to focus entirely on your creative goals and development areas. Session duration matches the programme you choose. Parent-child sessions are also available for families who want to create together. All materials are included. Lessons run by appointment at the Bishan studio (152 Bishan Street 11, near Bishan MRT CC15/NS17) and Woodlands studio (Vista Point, 548 Woodlands Drive 44, near Woodlands South MRT TE3). Contact us via WhatsApp to discuss your goals and schedule.

Available Programmes for Private Lessons

Crafty Corner (Ages 3-5)

Mini Masters (Ages 6-8)

Bridge from playful art to structured drawing and painting. Refine technique through guided projects.

Explorative Art (Ages 9-99+)

Private Art Lessons vs. Group Art Classes

Private 1-to-1 art lessons and group classes (3-6 students) at Art by Ancourage use the same qualified LASALLE-trained instructors and professional-grade materials. The key difference is attention and pacing: in private lessons, 100% of the instructor's focus is on you for the entire session, and the curriculum adapts entirely to your skill level, interests, and goals. Group classes offer a social learning environment where students learn alongside peers and benefit from shared feedback. Private lessons are particularly valuable for students who want to progress faster, focus on specific mediums or techniques, prepare portfolios for DSA or SOTA admissions, or prefer learning without the dynamics of a group setting. Many students combine both formats — attending weekly group classes for social learning and adding occasional private sessions for focused skill development.

Absolutely. Private lessons are ideal for beginners because the instructor tailors every aspect of the session to your starting point. There is no pressure to keep up with a group — you learn at exactly your own pace with guidance customised to build your confidence and skills from the ground up.

Yes. One of the advantages of private lessons is flexibility. You can explore different mediums across sessions — drawing one week, watercolour the next, oil painting after that — or focus deeply on a single medium. Your instructor will adjust the curriculum based on your evolving interests and goals.

In private lessons, you receive 100% of the instructor's attention throughout the entire session. The curriculum is fully customised to your goals and pace, and you can focus on specific techniques or projects. Group classes (3-6 students) offer a social learning environment with shared instruction. Both formats use the same qualified instructors and professional materials.

Yes! Parent-child private sessions are a wonderful option. Both parent and child create alongside each other with dedicated instructor guidance. This is especially popular for families who want to share a creative hobby together. Contact us to arrange a parent-child session.

It is collaborative. In the first session, we assess your current level and discuss your goals. The instructor designs a personalised curriculum that balances structured skill development with your specific interests. The plan adapts as you progress.

Most students see noticeable improvement within 4–6 sessions. Because the instructor's full attention is on you, skill development tends to be faster than in group classes where attention is shared across multiple students.

Yes. Private lessons are ideal for NAFA, LASALLE, and university art programme admission preparation. Your instructor helps you build a portfolio that meets specific admission requirements and prepare for portfolio interviews.

Private lessons offer flexible scheduling by appointment. While a regular weekly slot helps build momentum, you can also book sessions on an ad-hoc basis. Contact us to confirm instructor availability at your preferred date and time.
