Painting the Wild Skeena from Shore & Kayak with Tiffany Blaise
Join Tiffany Blaise for a virtual demonstration from her artist residency at the Cassiar Cannery in Port Edward, BC, a stunning area known for its wilderness and ecological diversity.
In this live session, you'll tour Tiffany's residency setup and view the paintings she is currently creating, inspired by the Skeena River. Tiffany will demonstrate her technique for painting from a kayak, capturing water reflections and the movement of light directly from the river's surface.
You’ll also get a glimpse of her plein air painting toolkit and learn about her process for observing the landscape, sketching on-site, and developing a nature-inspired colour palette.
This demo is perfect for artists, nature lovers, and anyone curious about creating art in the environment. No paddling experience is needed—just bring your curiosity!

Hosted by Opus Art Supplies & our Experience leader
Tiffany Blaise is a Vancouver-based Canadian contemporary landscape painter of Chinese and French descent, whose artistic practice centers on capturing the atmospheric and emotive essence of coastal landscapes across the West Coast and beyond. Her mixed-media artworks evoke a powerful connection to place, blending the ephemeral qualities of light, weather, and terrain with a bold, expressionistic approach.Website: www.tiffanyblaiseart.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.
