Art By Purnima reviews

Maggi Allan reviewed: Autumn Foliage and Berries: A Vibrant Watercolour Journey Monday Evenings Via Zoom

"Met Purnima on the cruise and she was a good art teacher. When offered zoom classes with her I jumped at the chance. She explains everything step by step, records the session to allow further practice before the next class. Nothing is too much trouble for her. She is interesting, professional and also funny making her classes really enjoyable. I will be carrying on with my watercolour sessions . No teacher has ever taken the time to demonstrate the basics like Purnima does. I am so appreciative!!"

Art By Purnima responded:

"Thank you Maggie for your kind words, you are making great progress and learning the techniques well. I look forward to teaching you the Landscape follow-up course."

"Brilliant course. Good clear instructions and feedback. Although we complete our project each session we are sent a recording so we can practice and improve on what we have previously been taught. After sending in photo, feedback is quickly given by email or WhatsApp. I would recommend this course to anyone new or experienced. There is always something new to learn. Thank you for the last 5 weeks, looking forward to the next 5 weeks."

"Thank-you for your fantastic review Ann you are improving with your watercolour skills each week. Looking forward to teaching you for the next 5 weeks"

"I have now attended three of Purnima's workshops, each one has been different and challenging. The session on Tuesday was very informative with lots of techniques needed to complete the picture. I found the whole experience very informative and it was really nice to learn different methods in a relaxed friendly environment and to spend time with people who enjoy water colour painting. Looking forward to the next workshop in August."

"Thank-you for your lovely review really pleased to hear you have learnt new techniques with watercolour. Looking forward to teaching you in August. "

Marc Sh0rrock reviewed: Mastering the Art of Watercolors: Workshop for all Abilities

"I had previous experience with acrylics. Purnima was excellent in showing all the class techniques to use. Watercolour is far more demanding requiring a more strategic plan to create lighter tone washes, blending wet and dry wet and wet use of candle and salt. Great effects QV 2024."
