"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."

"The class was excellent with Purnima giving attention to any issues that I might experience with the painting - she was very attentive and considerate. After the course she advised me of different online courses that I could do in the future."

"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."

"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."
