"One of the highlights of this cruise has been the painting class run by Purnima. She is so dedicated to helping everyone, I have been surprised how her clear instructions have made reasonable artists from people who have never held a brush including myself. I will be joining Purnima's zoom if I can. Thank you purnima all the best wishes Bill Thompson"

Anna Shaw reviewed: Watercolour Techniques for all - 4 week online course Tuesday evenings via Zoom

"I joined the watercolour class soon after leaving Southampton. I found I'd only bought 4 sheets of paper so I bought a kit excellent value! Purnima is a slave driver in the very best way as she ensures everyone works as hard as they think they are capable of. The result has been positive we have all progressed further that we thought especially me!! I now feel I can go back to art group at home with more knowledge and confidence. Ann Shaw QM2"

Art By Purnima responded:

"Hello Anna thanks for joining the watercolour sessions on board QM2 and also for sharing your watercolour to other guests who also joined us. Keep up the good work now you have all the materials too. Purnima"

Larry Richards reviewed: Watercolour Techniques for all - 4 week online course Tuesday evenings via Zoom

"I joined your class a few days ago, after New York. It has been very uplifting for me. My first experience with watercolour was in 1962 as a first year student in architecture at Miami University in Oxford Ohio. Then in 1973, during a masters degree work at Yale University I did additional sketching and colour theory studies. art has always been integral to my architecture career. Eventually I became a professor and finally a Dean of architecture school at the University of Toronto. Thank you for re-starting my interest in watercolour painting!

Art By Purnima responded:

"Woe Larry what an achievement, well done for joining the watercolour on board QM2 keep going now you already have the drawing skills just build up on the watercolour.?? Purnima"

"I have enjoyed my time in Purnima's watercolour class on the Queen Mary enormously. Her patience with mistakes is wonderful but she doesn't let you get away with making those mistakes repeatedly. She works with us to get it right. I am a true novice but I do believe I have gotten a bug to continue. Thank you Purnima, you have given me a gift, i am looking forward to releasing more creativity. Diana Thompson QM2"

Art By Purnima responded:

"Thank you for joining the watercolour course on board QM2, you have made a great start to this challenging medium. Great to hear that you will continue, its very addictive and keep that bug Going.? Purnima"

"I'm on this cruise it was the one thing on my bucket list. It turns out, if I'd ever thought about it, a watercolour class would have been a close second wish. I am thrilled to be here and ecstatic to be learning some things about watercolour painting .... I know Watercolour.....? I think you have a wonderful approach to teaching. The true test : I will be sorry when this class is over and will keep on painting. Thank you so much!! Katherine Queen Mary 2 March 2022"

Art By Purnima responded:

"Wow so glad to be a part of your bucket list, you have made a brilliant start with this challenging medium, keep up the good work you have all the materials now. Purnima?"
