Great Experience with Purmina

July 1, 2026

I joined the free taster painting evening as I had not painted in a while.

Once again Purmina’s style of teaching put me at ease. I felt very relaxed and encouraged knowing that I could get back to learning the basics of watercolour and to create a painting that I not only enjoyed doing, but inspired me to continue to paint. Her classes are fun and very uplifting.

Looking forward to my next class with Purmina.

Loose floral zoom session June 30th 2026

July 1, 2026

This was a lovely session led by Purnima on Zoom. We painted a loose floral planter. I found the guidance very clear & it was great to watch her demonstrate the skill before trying myself. Purnima is a great teacher – very encouraging & made it good fun with no pressure. I liked the structured way she taught the session, breaking down the project into different sections & demonstrating the different watercolour skills involved. Inspiring – thank you Purnima !
