I am Parika, a self-taught watercolour artist and educator based in Sydney. I came across watercolours as a hobby and found them exceptionally therapeutic and playful. What started as a hobby in 2019, turned into a passion and now I am a full-time artist working from my home studio.
My work is inspired by my immense love for nature, especially florals. My colour palette is always vibrant and joyful. I am here to share my passion for watercolours and love for florals with you all.
I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. I am here to help you explore your inner creativity.
Let's create something beautiful together!

Parika was friendly and patient. She taught us techniques of painting leaves and flowers which gave me a great start to pursue this hobby.

Brilliant class for beginners. Learnt lots of different brush stokes and techniques. I definitely need more practice but this class has given me the skills I need to continue practicing. Parika is lovely and there is ample opportunity to ask questions if you don't understand.

Wonderful class! So relaxing but also covered so many different techniques and Parika had a lovely and calm teaching style. Cannot wait to continue practicing and try another class!

The watercolour class run by Parika was fantastic. We learnt about brush techniques, the colour wheel and had a go at our own artwork piece which under the kind and patient guidance of Parika turned out really great.
The class came with brushes and paper and paint to use on the day. We got to take the brushes home and I’ve been using them regularly for the past few months.
The venue was filled with lovely natural light, yummy refreshment, a clean toilet and street parking.
Would highly recommend this class for anyone wanting a nice day out. You will walk away with new skills and a fun afternoon.

Parika was a beautiful teacher - so quiet & kind & patient & encouraging. She took us through the colour wheel, how to mix colours, different brush techniques, how to paint different types of flowers I learnt so much & was pleasantly surprised at how my final painting turned out! I'm excited to continue practicing
The Yamogu studio was so cute too. It has a huge arch window at the front to let in lots of natural light, & the host provided a delicious afternoon tea of little cakes, cheese & biscuits, & tea! I would love to do another class there.
