This relaxing watercolour class in Sydney’s Inner West is designed to be supportive, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyable for any skill level.
Each week we explore nature-inspired subjects that go a little beyond the usual. Think rare orchids rather than generic florals, iridescent beetles instead of everyday insects, and richly coloured fish, butterflies, botanicals and more.

New topics are posted every month and students are welcome to suggest ideas for future classes.
Each workshop, you’ll explore techniques like wet-on-wet blending, dry brush texture, layering, gradients, and lifting to create your own vibrant mini artworks.
We are a queer and neurodivergent friendly space. Taught by local artist Ru Biini, this series is perfect for beginners, but equally suited to those with experience who want to hone their watercolour skills.
Classes are phone-free and intentionally calm, creating an offline space to slow down, focus, and enjoy the process. Many students tell us the biggest surprise is how meditative and restorative the sessions feel. Do you need a break from the scroll? Are you ready for learning to feel relaxing and not stressful? Join us!
No prior knowledge needed. Private 1:1 tuition available for those that want to take their painting to the next level or focus on a specific technique. Get in touch to request a private class or browse our other offerings.

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.
