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"

"Thank you for the lovely review so glad you enjoyed the watercolour sessions on board Queen Victoria I look forward to teaching you again."

Rachael L reviewed: Watercolour for All 4 week Online Course Monday Morning Via Zoom

"After taking 4 classes from Purnima I have learned enough basic techniques to make several lovely pictures and build them over time. One technique can take years to master, so even a short course gives you all the homework your heart desires. Very relaxing. Rachel l Houston Texas USA - Cunard Queen Victoria"

"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. The relaxed atmosphere and Purnima's encouraging teaching style make for a very good experience that will help me on my future journey. Thank you Roy - Queen Victoria 2023 "

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."

"I was sceptical about what I might produce on Purnima’s water colour course because I am not very arty! She explained all the processes very thoroughly and demonstrated them too. I came away with a piece of artwork I would be happy to show my friends 😊. A brilliant afternoon and happy to recommend to others. Amanda M "
