Exploring New Acrylic Paint Colours | Artist Process with Lisa Ochowycz
We all have our favorites. As artists, it is easy to fall into a "well-worn groove" with our materials. We know how our standard blue mixes with our standard yellow, and that familiarity can be fruitful. But what happens when you disrupt that routine?
What if you introduced a colour you’ve never used before? What if you painted with a colour you didn't even like?
In our latest video, abstract painter Lisa Ochowycz invites us into her studio to explore the 12 new colours added to the Opus Essentials Acrylic collection. Through her process, she demonstrates how a simple moment of curiosity—asking "what if?"—can open a "whole new door of exploration" for your art practice.
