Exploring Colour with Andrea Soos
Exploring Colour with Andrea Soos
Join Andrea Soos for a painting demo on experimentation and play!
She will work on multiple pieces, each evolving through spontaneous layering, where bold colours interact and shift unexpectedly. Andrea will experiment with various techniques and explore form, colour, and mark-making. The demo highlights the versatility of Liquitex acrylics and encourages creative freedom in the painting process.
This Opus Art Supplies Victoria event will have a try-it station available! On the event day, participants can explore a selection of event-related materials and gain hands-on experience after the artist's presentation.
Materials
Liquitex Bio-based Heavy Acrylic
Hosted by Opus Art Supplies & our Experience leader
Andrea Soos is well known for her playful abstractions that combine creative mark-making, patterning, and gestural application of colour. Working with a fresh modern palette, Soos’ paintings allow the viewer to freely journey around the canvas, enjoying the twists and turns of her engaging compositions. Soos works intuitively across each canvas, creating unexpected and tactful brushstrokes in her process-driven practice. Although she may not know the piece's outcome when she begins, the artwork evolves as a visceral and therapeutic practice driven by music and song lyrics. Viewers of Soos’ work connect with the many visual entry points and feel free to apply their own experiences and history to the marks on the canvas. Soos lives and works in Victoria, British Columbia, where she also trained for her BFA. Soos’ work has been collected across Canada and the USA, and she is working to release a new series of artwork year-round.Instagram: @andreasoosart

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.

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.
