Send Something Beautiful: The Painted Postcard Party with Willow Wolfe!
Send Something Beautiful: The Painted Postcard Party with Willow Wolfe!
In this three-hour workshop, we’ll paint a collection of beautiful artist postcards using pre-drawn designs you can bring to life with watercolour.
You’ll explore some of the most useful watercolour techniques, including wet-on-wet washes, wet-on-dry painting, and layering, while creating beautiful, giftable postcards.
With the line drawings already applied and all supplies included, you can simply pick up your brush and paint. We’ll work through florals, foliage and seasonal-inspired designs, exploring how the same techniques can create everything from soft, flowing washes to crisp details and expressive ink work.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your own collection of hand-painted postcards, little original works of art ready to mail, tuck into a gift, frame, journal with, or give to someone you love.
In this workshop you’ll learn:
- Wet-on-wet watercolour
- Wet-on-dry techniques
- Layering and building colour
- Creating soft and hard edges
- Simple colour mixing
- Ink & wash
- Adding expressive finishing details
No drawing experience is required. Your postcard designs will be pre-drawn and ready to paint.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Some paid events are free or discounted for Artist and Creative Tier Members.
