About this event

We’re Floating Art, a small arts business with over 7 years of experience helping people learn to paint in a fun, relaxed way.

Led by practicing artist Ula Fung, with support from Ryan, our workshops are designed to combine creativity, learning, and enjoyment—so you leave with both a finished piece and new skills.

Japanese Painting Workshop (Nihonga 日本画)

Our flagship workshop is perfect for both art lovers and fans of Japanese culture.

You’ll learn the basics of Nihonga, a traditional Japanese painting style, using authentic materials including:

• Bamboo brushes
• Sumi ink
• Gansai Tambi (顔彩耽美) mineral colours
• Gold leaf
• Rice paper

We’ll provide a wide range of seasonal references inspired by both classic and contemporary Japanese artists.

This workshop focuses on creating your own artwork, not just copying—while guiding you step-by-step through the process.
