Liquitex Basics: Acrylic Fluorescent Colors with Veronica Herrera
Liquitex Basics: Acrylic Fluorescent Colors with Veronica Herrera
Join artist Veronica Herrera in using Liquitex Basics Acrylic colours, including fluorescents, black and white, to create bright, glowing shapes on canvas.
Liquitex Basics Acrylic Fluorescent colours are naturally transparent and excitingly bright. When painted on a dark or black background, the beauty of fluorescent colours is allowed to shine. While this project highlights abstract shapes, the techniques that Veronica will share can be used to depict any type of subject matter with a glowing light source
Materials
Liquitex Basics Acrylics: Mars Black, Titanium White, Fluorescent Blue, Fluorescent Pink, Fluorescent Red, Fluorescent Yellow, Fluorescent Green, Fluorescent Orange
Liquitex Freestyle Brushes: Paddle Brush 1”

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.
