My interest in color stems from my experience at the Cape School of Art in Provincetown, Massachusetts. After moving to San Francisco in the early 70's, I’ld return each summer to study with master colorist and teacher Henry Hensche, who taught students how to see and interpret the varying light keys of nature through accurate color relationships.

My arts career includes enthusiastic excursions (www.caricaturist.com) into other media—from my days at PCA (Philadelphia College of Art) where I graduated with a degree in Motion Picture, to my extensive involvement in San Francisco arts and politics (producing posters and graphics for numerous campaigns, and helping coordinate two ballot initiatives allowing street artists to operate legally on the sidewalks in San Francisco). Since my work with Hensche, however, I’ve always kept my eye and hand attuned to the simple process of ”placing one spot of color next to another" as a means of honoring and sharing the visual beauty of the world around us.

I’ve recently developed and patented a series of interface concepts (Connected Color Tools™) designed to link traditional coloring materials with the current use of digital graphics (www.FineArtTech.com). 

This marriage of technologies is one of the key components in the series of computer-presented painting tutorials and ONLINE classes produced by my wife, Camille Przewodek, who also paints and teaches color in Northern California, and in workshops all across the US.
