Exploring Liquitex Acrylics with Megan Jentsch
Exploring Liquitex Acrylics with Megan Jentsch
Join Liquitex Education Program Artist Megan Jentsch in-store with Opus for a fun Demo Station experience. In this 15-minuite, drop-in activity, Megan will help you navigate the various Liquitex acrylic paint ranges to find the one that’s right for you. Try them with Megan as she helps you understand the characteristics of each, like viscosity, sheen, and usage. The latest offering is Bio-Based Heavy Acrylics.
This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions and see how the different ranges feel, and have Megan help guide you to ensure you have the proper paint for your specific artistic needs.
Participants will receive a free surprise gift while supplies last; register today!

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.

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

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