Abstract Valentines with Rose Cowles
Abstract Valentines with Rose Cowles
Join Rose Cowles and celebrate love as an abstract concept; we're looking to explore unique, creative interpretations that go beyond clichés. Come and unleash your imagination by creating your own abstract painting! We'll have heart-shaped paper cutouts for you to turn your artwork into a heartfelt Valentine. Plus, we’ll have Opus Watercolours and Caran d’Ache supplies ready for you to experiment with. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Hosted by Opus Art Supplies & our Experience leader
If you were to ask Rose what she is all about, she would tell you that she is in the business of simple pleasures that offer viewers brief, positive experiences. Rose’s work portrays everything from realism to the whimsical and everything in between. She wishes to be an inspiration for those who need it and, alternatively, a "kick in the ass" reminder to those who wish to do better.Website: rosecowlesart.com

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.
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.
