Caran d’Ache Watersoluble Materials with Adrian Weber
Caran d’Ache Watersoluble Materials with Adrian Weber
Join Adrian Weber for a discovery tour of various and unique watersoluble art products!
Starting with the Grafcube RGB Coloured Graphite Sticks, Adrian will show their use for Urban Sketching and life figure drawing. From there, he’ll show you how to draw and paint an expressive human eye using Museum Aquarelle pencils, first dry, then with a brush and water to activate the concentrated pigments.
Finally, you’ll get a bunch of ideas for using Neocolor II in your artwork, including techniques for using it dry and with water. Adrian will draw and show you several small demo samples showing abstract, landscape and still life motifs, so that you can get a complete overview of the versatile applications of this watersoluble wax pastel stick.

Do I have to register in advance?
Yes—most events require registration to reserve your spot. Free demos with limited space can fill up quickly, so we recommend signing up early.
What’s included in a paid vs free event?
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.
Will I get a recording if I miss an online event?
No. These demos are live-only. If recorded, the footage is gifted to the artist and not shared publicly.
Can I attend an online event if I don’t live in BC?
Yes! Our online events are open to artists across Canada and beyond.

We host events both in-store at select Opus locations and online via Zoom or other platforms. The location and format will always be clearly stated.

Check your junk or spam folders first. If you’re still unsure, email Pamela Mark at pmark@opusartsupplies.com to confirm your registration.
What’s the difference between free and paid events?
Free events are short, demo-based sessions led by professional artists—great for inspiration and learning.
Paid events offer deeper, hands-on instruction with more time, materials, or exclusive access. They’re ideal for artists looking to grow their skills.
Some paid events are free or discounted for Artist and Creative Tier Members.
