Hosted by Opus Art Supplies & our Experience leader
Zandro Tumaliuan is a Vancouver-based interior designer with a strong background in architecture. His professional work and travels have allowed him to experience and document architecturally significant structures worldwide. With a keen eye for design and detail, he records his journeys in his ever-present sketchbook, using a portable kit to capture scenes on the go. Recently, Zandro published his first coffee table book, Travelogue Sketches, a visually captivating collection of sketches from around the world. His work highlights the beauty of urban landscapes, historic landmarks, and architectural details, offering a glimpse into different cultures through his artistic perspective. For Zandro, sketching is more than just an artistic practice—it is his way of visually translating ideas, memories, and spatial experiences using conventional tools. He brings structures to life through ink and watercolour, preserving moments of his travels in expressive and dynamic compositions.Website: graphitespeak.com

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.
Where are events held?
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.
I registered but didn’t receive a confirmation email. What should I do?
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.
