For iinfromation on One on One coaching “Baumann 911” go to:

With the huge success of Baumann’s weekly PBS television series “The Grand View: America’s National Parks through the Eyes of an Artist,” millions of people witness for themselves the magic Stefan portrays on canvas, his passion for nature and the American landscape. By distilling his love of nature into a luminous painting of brilliant, saturated color that transcends conventional landscape and wildlife art, Baumann has captured the hearts and imaginations of a generation.
Each painting becomes an experience rather than merely a picture – a vivid manifestation of his special and personal union with nature and the outdoor world. Through his mastery of light, color and artful composition, Baumann invites you to experience nature in its purity. It is no wonder that for many years distinguished American collectors, including former presidents and financial icons, have sought out his work.

A brilliant teacher. He shows how you can be both critical and inspirational. I'd love to take a trip across the pond and join his class. In my dreams.

I have absolutely no idea whatsoever how these paintings only took a couple of hours.... My heavens! It would take me a week to paint like that! Lol beautiful work.

[devinmosley]

oh my gosh...you are an excellent TEACHER! I felt like I was RIGHT THERE in your classroom, and you were about to "call on me" :) Thank you SO much for doing these incredible videos. I am learning so much more than I ever even did when taking numerous art classes in college. Thank you for all the time you take for all of us!

I love how you simplify the process. It is quite dynamic what the artist is faced with and decision which need to be made on the fly--and you make it very palatable--thank you.

The crumpled paper bag has been painted with such a beautiful effect, that to me it came across as a wall of a vintage kitchen!

[RoadToFuture]

this "look at me!!" in the gallery example illustrates the focal point issue very good!

[betsypoti]

I really enjoyed this one! I'm just starting to paint still life and this video is so helpful!

Thank you from a old beginner after a working life i found a new life elixer painting, and you are in that elixer, well i am living in the Netherlands, a small small country under the sea level there are no mountains here. But the light and darks the sky and water are so beautiful, I think Rembrand internalized that dark and sober lights. Thanks for all you are, it reach out beneath see level to inspiring just a old beginner

[annacoribioanna]

great!!!! "we don't paint things, we paint light, we don't pain things, we paint effects so it's the light on the garlic that you are painting"

[dillardparker]

Your critiques are very positive and engaging --need more teachers of your caliber.

Good onion and garlic painting. (suggestion: let the painting be shown longer in the video--- to study it while Stefan is talking.)

[luwalter]

I have learned a lot from your videos. If you have on line classes I love to join them. I just started painting several months ago. I started out painting landscapes but I found out I love copying Monet's works. Beach and sailboats are so fun and
