Pat Biggs reviewed: Draw a Giraffe in Graphite Pencils

"Really enjoyed the watercolour class at Cheylesmore. So nice to meet up at class with everyone. I learnt not to keep dipping into the water whilst adding colour when doing wet on wet. Great venue and a drink and cake included from the cafe there. Ideal room for watercolour painting."

Elizabeth Hollman reviewed: Watercolour Techniques for all - 4 week online course Tuesday evenings via Zoom

"I recently attended one of Purnima’s water colour workshops. The venue was excellent having the benefit of great coffee shop! The session was very relaxed, friendly and informative. A lot of different techniques were covered during the class and by the end of the session we came away thinking we had had a very positive experience. I would certainly recommend anyone thinking about taking up water colour painting to give it a try. "

Art By Purnima responded:

"Thank-you for your review and experience at the workshop. You have made so much progress with watercolours and have grasped the techniques well. Look forward to seeing you at the next workshop."

Pam Sutton reviewed: Watercolour for All 4 week Online Course Monday Morning Via Zoom

"What a wonderful opportunity to take time out and really concentrate on different watercolour techniques under guidance from Purnima Panchal. With time to practice and build upon experience gained over the week onboard, I have found this to be a very worthwhile activity, with the added bonus of melodious background music performed nearby- perfect! A big thank you to Purnima's I look forward to taking my improved skills away with me! and perhaps meeting again on a sea somewhere , sometime!! Pam Sutton Cunard _ Q Victoria July 2023"
