"Purnima's Classes are fun & informative. I have been looking for a teacher who introduces the basic building blocks for watercolouring and have finally found that teacher in Purnima.

Hilary Sullivan reviewed: Water Colour for All

"The course gets 5 stars. I enjoyed learning about mixing colours and doing this before starting to paint a picture. Interesting how the type of water colour paint and the paper used can influence what is produced. I learnt the importance of being patient and waiting for the first lot of water and paint to dry , before going onto apply more paint and develop the painting. I particularly liked the exercise in which we practised free style water colour painting. The venue and teacher were lovely."

Art By Purnima responded:

"Hello Hilary, Thank you for your review. Really pleased you enjoyed the workshop, particularly the loose watercolour. Your seahorse looks beautiful too. Well done."

"This is an amazing watercolour course. Takes you step by step, and is ideal for beginners. You learn techniques and manage to have something to show at the end of each lesson, and gives you motivation to continue and do more. Love the fact that it's a remote course and that get a recoding of the lesson for later reference. Would recommend 100%."
