E. Ambrose Webster���s View from the Studio
Hensche had taken over Hawthorne���s summer art school and
continued his tradition of teaching principles of Impressionism
to students who came from all over the country during the
summer months. Hensche, like Hawthorne before him, broke
down what he wanted to teach into four to eight week segments.
Palette knives were used instead of brushes to help the student
avoid getting lost in detail.
Henry Hensche had studied sculpture at the Chicago Art
Institute, acquiring a solid understanding of anatomy and the
structure of the human body and head, which was tremendously
useful as he began to apply Impressionist principles in paint.
