Have just completed another Water Colour Workshop with Purnima at Burton Green Village Hall. As usual the atmosphere in the group was friendly, relaxed and fun. Purnima guided us through a complex picture stage by stage, we all learn so much and I feel that my painting is continuing to improve under guidance. I really enjoy the classes and look forward to the next one in a few weeks time.

Amazing Zoom Classes

March 25, 2025

I am doing the drawing class, and the botanical and landscape watercolor courses. I cannot believe what beautiful work I have been able to do under Purnima’s teaching. The regular feedback on Zoom has been very helpful. She is constantly teaching us new techniques and challenging us to improve. Purnima is a fun and encouraging teacher.
