"I have enjoyed the variety of subjects we have covered thoughout the course. Initially I was not sure about learning on line but surprised myself about how much one could get through in a session. It has been an enjoyable experience, I have continued to learned a lot and feel I have improved my skills. I would encourage anyone interested in learning to paint in water colour to give it a go!"

"Bit apprehensive at beginning as not painted for a few weeks now but all fell back into place. For me - my outline in pencil is always too dark, and I need to remember to put my colours on lightly rather than go too dark. I enjoyed painting the ballerina . I’m not too happy with my background next to her legs (harsh line). Thank you."

"Very exciting, it was a real challenge but I’ll have to do a few more to practice the techniques. My my challenge is getting the balance with the water so that I can blend and not have hard lines. I think I need to be patient and start off paler..."

"I like the picture and I am pleased with the result. Still getting hard lines in places and my brushwork is not always accurate. However I think I have improved."

"Thanks Purnima, I really enjoyed the course. You were very insightful about materials, medium and technique and created a relaxed and informal environment to work in. Great fun for experienced artists or beginners. The demonstrations and examples were clear and well shot and you provided some great information of how to make great art, at home and on a budget. Thanks again, it was a great evening for me and the other learners."

"I enjoyed our lesson today, but I'm not too happy with my birds colours, so I am taking Purnima's advice and doing a colour swatch patch first."

"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."
