Do you want to try watercolour but feel a bit overwhelmed? This is the perfect space for absolute beginners!
In this workshop, you’ll explore techniques like wet-on-wet blending, dry brush texture, layering, gradients, and lifting to create your own vibrant mini artworks. Each week you’ll paint a new subject and learn simple, fun watercolour techniques while building a creative process you can return to again and again.

Hi, I’m Ru Biini, founder of Biini Designs art and textile studio based in Sydney's Inner West. I’ve been painting for over ten years and designing textiles with a focus on creating pieces that feel beautiful, welcoming, and inspiring.
As a queer, neurodivergent artist, I make my classes inclusive, safe, and fun spaces for all skill levels and learning styles. I believe that creativity requires both courage and support. My classes are calm collaborative spaces where you can discover your creative voice without the pressure to be perfect.
