Masters of Today featuring artists Christopher Schink and Camille Przewodek
By BigDreams. Filed in Gallery Events, Gallery Exhibits, Resident Artists, community |
We continue our Masters of Today series presenting two incredible master artists in their exhibit going up on June7th. Christopher Schink is editor of the Pallet Magazine and the author of Mastering Color and Design In Watercolor and Color And Light For The Watercolor Painter— both published by Watson-Guptill, NY. He is the co-author (with Skip Lawrence) of Watermedia Focus Workbook, Volume I. Schink is an internationally renowned painting instructor and competition juror, having taught throughout the US, Australia, Europe, Mexico and Canada. We are so lucky to have Topher as one of the Pelican Art Gallery Master artists! I met Topher at the Intensive Studies Seminar in Taos, New Mexico a few years ago and was blown away with his style and ease of putting paint to paper. When we found out he lived in Sonoma County we approached him about letting us represent him and were thrilled when he agreed!

Camille Przewodek, a nationally recognized painting instructor, offers classes and workshops from the l’Atelier aux Couleurs, the Petaluma Art Academy which she founded. Camille is a dedicated, no-nonsense leader in the arts in Petaluma. At the Petaluma Art Academy, Przewodek subscribes to the teachings and painting methods introduced to her by master artist Henry Hensche at the Cape Cod School of Art in Massachusetts. She is a passionate artist who excels in plein air and still life painting. Camille is a key addition to our list of proven master artists at the Gallery. She captures the beauty of the land in a way that evokes emotional response from viewers.
