Step into the wonderfully whimsical world of mushrooms in this two-hour watercolor exploration on Nov 6th from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm at Opus Victoria.

Using the iconic red-capped mushroom as our inspiration, we’ll explore how simple shapes, expressive brushwork, and layers of transparent color can create a mushroom full of character and dimension. 

Beginners welcome! Your line drawing will already be applied to the watercolor surface when you arrive, so you can jump right into painting. No drawing experience required.

We’ll experiment with color mixing, washes, layering, wet-on-dry techniques, texture, and fine details, from the rich reds and subtle variations of the cap to the earthy neutrals of the stem and loose grasses below.

Along the way, you’ll create small color studies and explore how changing value, temperature, and color combinations can completely change the personality of your painting.

This is a relaxed, approachable class designed to build watercolor confidence, encourage experimentation, and leave you with a charming finished mushroom painting—and plenty of ideas for creating more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the $10 store credit work?

Book an in-store event that's $10 or more and we'll add $10 in store credit to your Opus membership, for every membership tier. Spend it on anything, in store or online. Membership is free to join.

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.

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.

Every Opus member gets $10 back in store credit on in-store events that are $10 or more. On longer workshops that cost more, you still get $10 back and the rest goes to the artist teaching.

Is it okay to ask questions during the demo?

Absolutely. Use the community chat to ask demo-related questions. Our host will relay them to the artist as time allows.

When will I be let in from the Zoom waiting room?

We open the room right at the start time. Arrive a couple of minutes early to avoid delays.

How can I apply to be a demo artist?

We love connecting with artists who teach and inspire. Apply here to share your skills in an upcoming demo.
