"I rated the session excellent. You explained and demonstrated the watercolour techniques involved for a landscape it was broken down so that it was easy to complete and understand. At the end of the session I felt confident enough to try another."

"Excellent class and tutor This is an good place to start how to learn to paint at your own pace. Friendly and informative small groups. Ideal for the beginner or improver. Even a complete beginner like myself, in need of guidance to get you started. Found over time learnt, so now able to paint and complete a scene. Gradually building up colour and shading as well as mixing."

"I joined Purnima’ S class last year. I love the informal style and the relaxed persona of Purnima. We are not pressured into completing the subject that we are performing in any session.We receive constructive criticism so that we can improve our techniques. I enjoy the sessions as the other pupils are friendly and supportive. I hadn’t painted in Watercolours before Purnima classes but I think that with her encouragement I am progressing."

"I am enjoying these classes and feel that I have made improvements. The sessions are well structured and Purnima is an excellent teacher. All the information needed is sent to you beforehand and then feedback and help given by Purnima (via e mail) after the sessions. The group are very friendly and welcoming. I would recommend these sessions to beginners and more experienced painters."

Jennie S-W reviewed: Watercolour Techniques for all - 4 week online course Tuesday evenings via Zoom

"I had tried watercolour painting on and off for ages but wasn't happy with the results. Purnima's approach to soft 'impressionistic' floral painting helped me to understand the use of a minimal palate and helped me to develop the skill of 'touching in paint' into washes to create soft effects. The Zoom classes are well paced and each step is explained by demonstration. Participants are then given enough time to complete the exercise. Participants, as a group, are friendly and encouraging."
