Materials at Work: Opus Essential Oil Paint with Tiffany Blaise
Join us for a mini-workshop featuring Opus Essential Oil materials, led by Tiffany Blaise.
Tiffany will guide you through a fun project that explores various oil painting techniques, including colour mixing, blending, glazing, brushwork, and more!
Experience the vibrancy of artist-grade oil paint. Opus Essential Oil Paint is produced in small batches with a quality-first approach, featuring high concentrations of permanent, intense, and reliable pigments. These colours can be used straight from the tube or thinned with linseed oil and odourless mineral spirits, allowing for traditional techniques, such as "fat over lean," while maintaining colour intensity.
You'll also have the opportunity to try Opus Fortissimo Brushes to explore both playful and precise brushstrokes. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, this session is sure to inspire your creativity!

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.
