"I came to watercolour classes to sample a new hobby, little did I know it would be life changing event. Purnima's an amazing teacher and is patient, kind and inspirational, her enthusiasm is infectious. I knew was absolutely hopeless with patient understanding Purnima gave me confidence and reassurance. This has changed my life, I see everyday scenes as a child - beauty in motion I can't wait for tuition to start, with renewed confidence and a new love of art I will look forward to becoming an artist full- time. Many Thanks to brilliant instructions and suggestions regarding style and technique."

"I found Purnima to be a unique and highly skilled instructor of watercolour. The first thing that caught my attention was that she used an amplifier so we can hear her, this was much appreciated, the second was she took time to show us what had to be done, the third she paid attention to each one of us as individuals. Her knowledge of watercolour techniques and how to show us was outstanding. I highly recommend her. Watercolour Class Onboard Queen Mary 2 March 2022"

Art By Purnima responded:

"Wow thank you for your lovely comments, you have been creating some beautiful watercolours and thanks for sharing the tips especially the string to create the grid, I will use that technique in future. Keep up the beautiful work. Purnima"

"Purnima is a fantastic teacher. I had not painted since I was at School (40+ years ago), she re-ignited a passion I had forgotten I had and has help me really develop a confidence in my painting. I have loved every minuet on the course and Purnima's warm & friendly approach has been wonderful."

"I have found this course very informative and completed at a nice steady pace, each step explained and demonstrated. Purnima supports and encourages you and gives you supportive and constructive feedback. I have learnt alot through these courses and watercolour painting is very relaxing."

"Purnima is an excellent instructor. I was somewhat worried that given it's on Zoom, would she really be giving us instruction that would be better than just, finding a free course on YouTube, but she gives actual feedback and we learned a variety of techniques. And plus because it's on Zoom, I was even able to invite my mother who lives in the United States to take part as well, and that made a really excellent way for us to have quality time even across the ocean. I highly recommend this course, and it's awakened a real excitement for this beautiful art form."

"I met Purnima onboard The Queen Elizabeth, last October when I attended her watercolour sessions as a complete novice. I now look forward to the weekly online sessions to help me to develop my skills. Purnima is an excellent teacher and explains everything clearly and patiently, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions."

"I am totally new to art and am not a creative person. My niece bought me a CraftCourses voucher for Christmas so I signed up with Purnima and started last week. I am thoroughly enjoying it. She shows us exactly what to do and explains it in simple terms so although I feel I have stepped into a different world I have painted two identifiable watercolour pictures already!! Diolch yn fawr iawn."

"I would recommend this course to everyone. Purnima explains everything thoroughly and guides you through the techniques in an easy to understand way. It is a fun way to learn both for beginners and those with a little more experience."

Patricia Biggs reviewed: The Art of Drawing: Essential Techniques for All Levels Monday - 4 week online Zoom

"I joined this class as a complete beginner. As a complete novice drawing is quite a challenged. I am finding that I am gaining in confidence even if the task seems daunting. It is broken down and we are taken through the task step by step and I have managed to complete and managed to draw an apple in graphite pencil that looked like an apple and 3 dimensional image. I would highly recommend this course to anyone really wanting from the very basics onwards."

Carole Pullen reviewed: The Art of Drawing: Essential Techniques for All Levels Monday - 4 week online Zoom

"I think the course is excellent and being pared down into manageable pieces,it’s much easier to progress and learn different technique. I’ve already taken to try and draw a subject rather than trace from an image. Looking forward to more lessons."

Joanne Booth reviewed: The Art of Drawing: Essential Techniques for All Levels Monday - 4 week online Zoom

"As a novice completely unable to draw anything realistic, Purnima has helped me achieve the impossible. Talking you through every stage carefully demonstrating each technique she has helped me make significant progress. I look forward to learning more in Purnima relaxed and enjoyable classes."

"I have found this a very interesting course. Although some of the tasks look quite challenging Purnima breaks them into small achievable steps and the end results are impressive. It has been good exploring different media and papers . I feel much more confident now to tackle other pictures."

"5 Stars I can strongly recommend the workshop. By the end of Purnima’s 40 minute zoom class I had produced a picture my wife wouldn’t have believed possible. Being a complete novice it came as a surprise to see what I could do with guidance. I feel fortunate to have found this new interest -- such a shame I hadn’t realised at the start of the lockdowns.

"Hi Purnima Many thanks for your teaching and support today. What can I say but WOW did I enjoy it ! I felt terrified when you sent the outline for today's class . Without your help I wouldn't have known where to start. Once I started I didn't want to stop and couldn't believe how quickly time went as I was totally absorbed in painting. My confidence and technical knowledge /skill increased beyond my expectations for today. Please do more of these 2 Hour sessions. I will send you a copy of the 'masterpiece'.!!!
