Caran d’Ache: Drawing Techniques using Neocolor II with Adrian Weber
Caran d’Ache: Drawing Techniques using Neocolor II with Adrian Weber
Join Adrian Weber’s demo and discover the fascinating possibilities of Neocolor II on halftone paper!
Adrian will draw the iconic Swiss mountain, the Matterhorn, in a vintage style and explain the build-up of his composition step by step. Starting with a light sketch on ocre-tinted Canson paper (Canson Mi-Teintes), he’ll set the large spots before adding shadows, lights and details that make The Matterhorn glow in the evening light. With a black ballpoint pen, he’ll add small details and dynamic strokes. Adrian is using Neocolor II as a drawing tool, a pastel stick, and a richly pigmented painting stick, giving your artwork a painterly touch. For this, he’ll show you the use of the special Caran d’Ache watercolour palette.
Finally, you’ll get a bunch of ideas for using Neocolor II in your artwork, whether using dry or with water and whatever motif you’d like to create.

Paid events may include hands-on instruction, materials, and exclusive product offers. The details will be listed on the event page.
Free events may include a short, informative session led by an artist—perfect for picking up techniques, learning about materials, and sparking inspiration. You’re welcome to paint along, but it’s not required.
