2023 Landscapes Competition Camille Przewodek 2nd Place Winner (Tie)

Renowned plein air colorist, Camille Przewodek, creates inspiring landscapes which reflect her deep understanding of the effect of light on color.

Przewodek's paintings are brimming with bold, rich color, taking the viewer to the heights of color perception. Explaining her style and technique, she says, "A plein air colorist is someone who, in the representational tradition of Monet, is primarily focused on capturing the light key of nature. By light key, I mean the overall quality and effect of light on a subject. Being on location allows me to accurately observe and understand how my color relationships support and create the light key of a scene."

For many years she studied color with impressionist master, Henry Hensche at the Cape School of Art in Provincetown, Massachusetts, founded by his mentor Charles W. Hawthorne. Over the years, Przewodek has become a much sought-after instructor and expert on the Hensche/Hawthorne approach, teaching their principles to educate others in the perception and use of color and light in representational painting.

Born and raised in Michigan, she is now based in Petaluma, California. Przewodek received BFAs in painting at Wayne State University in Detroit, and illustration at Academy of Art College in San Francisco. She is a Signature Member of the Laguna Plein Air Painters and the California Art Club, and a Master Signature Member of the American Impressionist Society, Oil Painters of America, and American Women Artists.

She has participated in dozens of solo exhibitions and group shows, garnered many awards, and received widespread recognition as an artist, speaker, instructor, and author.
