Plein-Air Nature Journaling with PEBEO ColorEx Watercolour Inks
Plein-Air Nature Journaling with PEBEO ColorEx Watercolour Inks
Join Pébéo Brand Ambassador Max Black for a step-by-step demonstration on using PEBEO Colorex Watercolour Inks and learn the relaxing art of Nature Journaling. Both beginner and professional artists can benefit from the art of Nature Journaling, as it trains your senses of observation, curiosity, and composition and expands your artistic abilities through simple studies.
Learn to create your own custom marker colours or work directly from the bottle using a brush or nib. Use vibrant, expressive colours or sensitive, earthy tones to observe and illustrate the natural world around you.
A mix of botanical illustration and self-reflection, Nature Journaling can be as simple or as intricate as you desire. Learn tips and ideas to integrate into your artistic process, then go outside and give it a try!
Max will showcase the range of tools and options in the PEBEO Colorex line and demonstrate the different results achievable.

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.
