Camille Przewodek: Qualities of light

I am a plein air colorist in the representational tradition of Monet.

- Camille Przewodek

I studied with Henry Hensche, master American impressionist and assistant to Charles Hawthorne at the Cape School of Art. Unlike a lot of other contemporary plein air artists, I focus on capturing the light key of nature.

By light key, I mean the specific quality of light on a subject. Essentially, what we are painting, then, is not the object or subject in front of us, but the effect of light falling on that subject.
