Inspiring Millions to paint outdoors This video is about Touch Move and Inspire. Get a free Book at his website www.StefanBaumann.com. The paintings of Stefan Baumann reveal the true spirit of nature by transporting the viewer to distant lands that have gone unseen and undisturbed. 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.

This guy is incredible, I literally hang off every word, hes a tutor, and artist a comedian a historian, what a mentor!!! greetings from the UK

It's been four years since I learned to not use white all the time to get a "lighter shade" for highlights. That means it took me 35 years to figure that out on my own. The difference in my paintings is nothing short of dramatic. All of your lessons teach me something new. I see this making a lot of difference in my progress! I'm already one of your students... at some point we must make this formal!

[@tumblingrosesstudio]

Loved this one especially!!

[@susanshambrook8070]

I agree with the person who said that the lighting on your videos is terrible and we cannot see the pictures that you are looking at or talking about, other than that I love everything you put out for us, always watching and trying to learn, you are the best!

[@carrietaves4557]

You're THE BOMB Stefan! Thank you generously sharing your knowledge of art!!

[@crisalidathomassie1811]

You are just amazing. Every video is full of wisdom, experience, motivation and positive feedback as well. It blows my mind how you can openly share with the public your knowledge and always striving for perfection. Thanks for all the work and effort you put in each video. Thanks for all the encouragement and details of what is best and when painting. I love every video I have wat he’d, but I’m still catching up. As always, best wishes. You are a simple human being with an extraordinary talent and a humble heart. ♥️♥️❤️

[@christinegalysh7433]

Thank you and all the best.

[@gspurlock1118]

Thanks! Whenever you have a new video, it is the highlight of my week. I just can't get enough wisdom, and keep trying to incorporate it into my work. I'm getting better, but have a long way to go. The great thing about it though is that it's fun. Every new piece of information that I incorporate successfully is a great step forward. . . well, and sometimes old info that you keep driving in that I finally get.

@@StefanBaumann I called you a little while ago Stefan for Coaching but with the time differences you may have been sleeping, Im in the UK, I will be contacting you again at some stage though to see if we can work something out, I'm not sure if you are still talking coaching or not at the moment. I have a financial commitment at the moment but as soon as I am cleared of that I will be back in touch.

[@StefanBaumann]

I would love to talk to you about coaching please send me some of your work and we can at least get started and as soon as you get ready we will have at least a start

Great video, difficult to see the paintings due to the glare. Good information.

[@IslandTides]

I KNOW I need to take lessons of colour mixing, but one colour mixing frustration I've always had is HOW do you lighten up red WITHOUT turning it into a shade of pink? If you add yellow, it makes orange......Ugh... Frustration! I'm great with black and white and shades (Pencil charcoal etc) but I SUCK with colour!

[@riccia888]

[@yvonbelliveau7631]

Do you use a color checker like mark carder? Do you eyeball it?I guess my question is how do you make sure your colours are right? Love your videos by the way.

listen to more of the videos there are over 150

[@ptstrngr12345]

Stefan, I love your instruction but I wish we could see your student's work better. Your lighting destroys the painting. We can't see them most of the time. If your removed or changed the lighting it would make the session so much more enjoyable. Please take this under consideration.

[@Studiolussoalberta]

I have always thought that as well.

Some paintings seem flat, as if from photographs.

[@StefanBaumann]

There where not done in my class and the reflection of the light is bad. I agree I would have loved if that student worked from life

[@rickcroucher]

The light you are using causes such a glare for those of us watching on KZbin that the painting itself is almost just white.

[@StefanBaumann]

What is more important is what I say

[@rickcroucher]

@@StefanBaumann You are right, of course. It's always good to see the example being talked about. I enjoy your posts. I'm trying to regain motivation to paint as I used to have 20 years ago, but I'm having trouble finding that impetus I once had. At 73 it's difficult to find that overwhelming love of brush in hand.

[@wilmakerstholt699]

Rick Croucher i am so sorry for you i am a 60+ beginner and i wondering every coleur every shadow every light i suddenly see, like a youngster. Perhaps there is something you wonder about still.
