Camille Przewodek

Camille Przewodek studied with master colorist Henry Hensche, who carried on Charles Hawthorne’s pioneering painting principles at the Cape School of Art in Provincetown, MA. This unique approach teaches that the painter’s first concern is to perceive and vigorously portray the effect of the particular light in which the subject is seen. To that end, students are encouraged to make many quick color studies, so they can confidently convey the illusion of light through accurately stating the big masses of color, usually within the first 20 minutes of painting.

Camille teaches painting workshops across the US and offers regular weekly classes near her studio in Petaluma, CA. She has been a regularly featured, on-stage demonstrator at PleinAir Magazine’s Annual Plein Air Convention, as well as an invited instructor, lecturer, and panelist on the Hensche-Hawthorne approach to seeing and painting color at American Artist Magazine’s Weekend with the Masters.
