Lunch and Learn with Michelle Held

12:00 PM  2:00 PM

Join Michelle as she presents a demonstration entitled “Unlock the Secrets of Color Temperature.” 

Join us for an exclusive painting demo where Florida artist Michelle Held will help you demystify the concept of color temperature. Michelle will reveal her techniques for using the contrast of cooler and warmer paint colors to create vibrant, dynamic artworks that truly pop off the canvas.

Whether you're a seasoned painter or just starting out, this demonstration is a unique opportunity to learn directly from Michelle herself. You'll explore how to manipulate color temperature to add depth, dimension, and life to your paintings.

Don't miss this chance to invest time in your artistic growth. All skill levels are welcome—bring your enthusiasm and get ready to transform your approach to color.
