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.

Stephan is an amazing artist, love watching and listening to him. I have learned so much.

[@kathleenlairscey5934]

Learning a lot from Stefen B.

[@ElizabethSmith-dm2xh]

Ok Stefan. I know your used to great compliments. But i need you to know something. Im an Aussie wildlife painter from Northern Territory. Since suffering RSI...from water colour pencil use. I decided to learn to paint in oils. Ive tried to learn a new way to paint.....but in two weeks of watching your you tube channel ive remembered that I want to paint because the view of our earth is so beautiful. The way the sun loghts up a field and lights up the sky. Thank you!

[@StefanBaumann]

Your so welcome

[@anthonydenson8874]

That's knowledge watching a 40-year artist. Thank you so much

Love the lighting effects you achieve and the ease with which you do. I can tell you’re very comfortable with this!! The painting feels soft yet powerful. I love having you as a coach, always new things to pick up!!

[@marlenemeek9030]

Brilliant! Thank you. Love it.

[@nunuallen4327]

I love using my fingers, it is so comfortable. When I saw you do it, I said to myself, hum, he doesn't mind about the paint, and then he mention turpentine and wiping his brush on a cloth. Man I ran to wash my hand when I got the turpentine on my hand when I was cleaning my brush. He just made my day. You are not going to die. Thanks.

I am really digging that cabinet/drawers/whatever set of things at the back and to the right, please do a studio tour at some point. Love looking at artist spaces and how they organize their tools + utilize the space.

A wonderful painter. Just a pleasure to watch your creation process. Your explanation is easy to follow.

Steven Lyman use to love to paint that area before he fell to his death in Yosemite. I loved his work. I love to see the passion you have for nature and that area..

I will cherish this. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your technical experience

[@econrith]

I use acrylics, which can be worked as (same effect) oils or watercolour. I even add the watercolour paint to them sometimes. Thanks for your expert tuition.

[@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork]

Man, your paintings are so nice. I especially like your portraits. Please. please do more of these, like full paintings. Just a humble fly on the wall.

[@CharleyWang]

Beautiful scenery, very spectacular, I like such a place to travel and paint!

[@1sacoyle]

Ah! A new color to check out: Asphaltum. Surprisingly I can only find it in craft paint for acrylics, which is what I paint with. Not that I need another color or tube of paint! Love this video. Please bring us more!

[@powercourageandwisdom]

Asphaltum.. I cannot live without it. A very beautiful transparent color that does every thing including mixes as Burnt Umber does. Give me tubes of asphaltum, Cremnitz white, cobalt blue, quinacridome Magenta or Rose, and cad Lemon and I will be able to block in, set values as well as temperature and work halfway through modeling. My work actually comes together more harmoniously than when I had 10 - 12 colors out to start with. Richeson Asphaltum. Code word "Mummy" Thanks, Sensei Stefan

[@schill1758]

Great to see you on KZbin again Steffan, I've learned more about how to paint from you (and a Mr A Tischler) than anywhere else. You can explain and describe things with perfect clarity, using as few words as possible. And you make it look effortless. Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks so much

[@rezahosseinzadehnasser993]

Thank you so much. I missed you.

[@lorrainesaliba5469]

I totally immersed myself into watching you paint this beautiful scene with such beautiful subtle colors and values that just let my eyes wonder and enjoy the beautiful light source your have placed into and around your focal point ! I have watched so many of your videos and listened to your Pod casts which I find really inspiring but now watching you paint has been an extra bonus ! I love your thinking process and the way you explain about painting techniques . I have finally just downloaded your ebook and I cannot wait to read it slowly and thoroughly ! I know I will love it as I just skimmed through a couple of entries and even your wording is exceptional and well chosen ! Sincere Thank You Mr. Baumann . I truly appreciate your time and always look forward to your videos. Warmest regards from Malta....Lorraine 🤗🎨

It’s beautiful!

[@sambeach2726]

I have lots of brushes and lots of tubes of acrylic paints. Now I realise I don’t need it all, so will be thinning out my number of brushes and buy quality and not quantity. Will no doubt switch to oils one day.

Do it now

Beautiful painting Stefan...I am taking art course and learning a lot but I still learn when watching these videos...I paint in acrylics and learning to draw right now and will be learning pastels next then water colors then oils and lastly acrylics which funnily enough I started painting with first but I love it...so thanks for teaching me more...I love it...also ppl always ask me how much would I sell a painting for and I’m like I have no idea at this moment lol

[@sulpicioediza1428]

amazing ...

[@MelanieMaguire]

Wow! This was amazing. I've seen lots of your youtube vids where you're talking about painting to students in class and discussing their paintings, but this is the first time I've seen you paint. The ease and facility with which you construct this painting and bring it to life in such a short time is mind-blowing. Thanks so much for sharing this. :)

[@allenvoss7977]

I’m painting along with you in this painting and I really like adding the turpentine and the effects that it causes now that the block in is done I’m going with Liquin for the remaining work, details. Is this ok? I have another question , do you favor cobalt blue over ultramarine blue ? and you said that cobalt blue was a little sweeter ,do you use ultramarine blue and if so when do you like to use ultramarine blue? I learned a lot in this quick little painting . I want to follow along with you on your Grand Canyon one too. I like how you used paint thinner to remove paint to expose the wash that you laid down prior to starting the composition. very cool !!

[@StefanBaumann]

you need both blues but cobalt is sweeter

[@monicalinville9579]

What do you use for your mixing medium?

[@yibuseato]

Does anyone know what brand Asphaltum he was referring to? Is it possible he meant Richeson Brand and the caption was incorrect (“Richardson Beand”)? Thanks! ☮️💜

[@sonsoftheedelweiss72]

When do u glaze

[@wacky_paintings]

At 44:40 you mention not liking complimentary colours. I think it depends on what you're painting, I use them on purpose to make my cartoons stand out even more.

[@allenvoss7977]

What size canvas?

[@55karenina]

I wonder if you can tell us the pigment in asfaltum?

[@StefanBaumann]

I have in other videos

If I'm sitting on the beach the horizon line would be Michele lower than the middle of the canvas. Is that correct?

[@mailie6403]

Oops, much lower than the middle of the canvas

HORISON LINE ????? or Horizon Line?
