Watercolour Jewel Beetles

A Gentle Art Class in Sydney



1.5 hours Class size 1 to 20 guests       $33

Learn to paint vibrant beetles in every colour of the rainbow. From the iconic Christmas beetle to iridescent rainforest beetles, this gentle workshop explores colour, shine, and texture in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
This is a slow, beginner-friendly watercolour class with no pressure to perform. It’s tailored for beginners but suitable for all levels, and is proudly queer & neurodivergent friendly. No experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
In this workshop, you’ll explore accessible watercolour techniques including blending, layering, gradients, dry brush texture, and lifting. These simple, playful techniques are designed to build confidence while helping you develop your own style. You’ll leave with your own vibrant beetle artwork and a better understanding of how watercolour behaves.
Taught by local artist Ru Biini, this LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent-friendly class celebrates curiosity and courage. You’ll be invited to loosen your grip on perfection and rediscover the joy of mark-making.
Whether you’re revisiting old skills or trying watercolour for the first time, this workshop offers a supportive space to build confidence and have fun.
No prior knowledge required.

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.
