GOLDEN Acrylics: Textured Landscapes with Samantha Williams-Chapelsky
GOLDEN Acrylics: Textured Landscapes with Samantha Williams-Chapelsky
Join Samantha Williams-Chapelsky for an engaging demonstration exploring the creation of richly textured landscapes using GOLDEN Heavy Gel Gloss and Coarse Pumice Gel. These two distinctive mediums offer dramatically different surface qualities, creating dynamic visual effects when combined with Golden Heavy Body Acrylic Colors.
Throughout the demonstration, Samantha will share her unique colour palette, discuss colour mixing strategies, and demonstrate a variety of texture applications using both brushes and palette knives on two different painting surfaces. Participants will gain practical insight into incorporating these versatile mediums into their own artistic practice and leave inspired to experiment with texture in new and expressive ways.

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?

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.

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.
