Camille Przewodek Long Distance Learning Program

My name is Camille Przewodek and I am an Impressionist landscape artist based in Sonoma County, California.
My use of color is what separates me from most other plein air painters. I am carrying on the tradition of Monet, who was focused on painting the various light keys of nature. I consider color to be an equally important component of a good painting. If you have the right color, it is the right hue, value and saturation. I apply my color knowledge to all subject matter. I am known for my landscape paintings but I also paint figure and still lives.
I am Camille Przewodek, an Impressionist landscape artist based in Sonoma County, California. My unique approach to art lies in my use of color, which sets me apart from most other plein air painters. Like Monet, I am dedicated to capturing the various light keys of nature, and I firmly believe that color is an equally vital element in creating a compelling painting. To me, the right color encompasses the perfect hue, value, and saturation, and I apply this knowledge to all my subjects, whether it be landscapes, figures, or still life.
Being recognized for my landscape paintings is an honor, but I also love to explore the world of figures and still life in my art. The versatility in my work allows me to infuse my signature use of color into various subject matters, showcasing my artistic vision and expertise.
Living in Sonoma County, California, offers me an abundance of inspiration from the beautiful surroundings that I often translate onto my canvas. If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything related to art or any other topic, feel free to reach out! I'm always happy to engage in meaningful conversations about art and creativity.

How do you choice the color for the values? That is what I am not understanding. Thank you so much for your videos.

[@przewodekfineart9517]

If it is the right color, it is the right value, hue and saturation. I try to organize my light and shadows. 1-5 on the value scale are my shadow notes and 6-10 are my light planes. A black in light is lighter than a white in shadow.

Thank you

Its an interesting method. Thanks. One thing, I get stuck on your pallet colour layout. In the top row, 8 colours up is a warm burnt sienna (?). Why is it positioned there rather further up beyond the lemon yellow, between cadmium orange and cad red perhaps? Am I missing something.

[@przewodekfineart9517]

I organize the top colors blue - green - yellow (the color on the left of lemon yellow is Indian Yellow) - red. The bottom row has my purples and blues and they the last colors are my earth colors.

[@TobermoryCat]

@@przewodekfineart9517 Ah, Indian yellow isn't a pigment I use however I know ( due its transparency ) that it reads differently when mixed with white - but never thought it would sit on the cool side of lemon yellow. Interesting, thanks.

My colors on the bottom are red to yellow and to green. The last color on the bottom is a Thalo blue(this is thalo land and I go there on rare occasions.) The top color from left to right - Magenta, Cad Scarlet and then I have all my earth colors. the last three are Sevres Blue, Ultramarine Blue and Windsor Purple. This is how I can tell the difference between colors as I separate the colors that look very similar to other and those that have a high tinting power, like the Thalo.
