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.

Great to see the different composition possibilities with the golden mean on different canvas sizes and layout (portrait/landscape). Always refreshing for me to see new perspective possibilities when moving focal points and eye magnets around.

I just started painting two years ago and was frustrated in setting up pleasing still life's. this video has given a conceptual structure to composing a still life and translating it to canvas. Thank you for sharing concepts and just laying down of paint.

Your welcome

I am an artist already since quite a time (on and off), but hey, I learn soooo much through your excellent teaching (and it is really interesting also). Many things u teach I just did...hm, i can say instinctivly or naturally, it just felt right for me...BUT I did not really know why....I just saw and knew it works, but not the reason. Which brought problems to me, when I tried to explain my painting. U cannot say all lthe time: well, I just did it coz i felt so....:d. Now I know, WHY i do what i do, and I can explain it. Thanks to you, Stefan Greetings from Switzerland

Another terrific video with lots of great information I'll need to absorb. Thanks, Stefan! I'd love to know what objects you assigned for your class to work into the pyramid composition.

I recommended your channel to everyone in my group.

[@StefanBaumann]

Tell them that I said thanks to you personally and that you can reach out to me anytime...

[@emmetlarrissy8228]

Stefan Baumann oh thanks Stefan. I posted them a link on facebook so that they will not forget.

[@positivenergylife]

You know what is hard for me? Is to unlearn to tend to copy a picture and instead paint something my own. :) Thank you!

[@LuisNgchongJrArt]

Stef’s the best.

People think it's funny when I say that painting and gardening are sisters- I compose my still life just like a planter/window box- each gets a thriller, spiller and a filler- feel free to use that nugget Stefan 😉

[@gspurlock1118]

Great lecture. It's time for me to play with the golden mean. You had mentioned in another video that when you look at a person, straight on, you generally look at one of the eyes, either to the left or right of center. Even though the nose is dead center, that is not where you look. I wonder if that mechanism is the source of the assumption that the main focal point should be off center.

Hindus consider 11 as holy number. Whenever gift is given by Hindus on happy occasions, it is always in 11s. Rs.11, 101, 251, 501, 1100, 2100 5100 , 11000 and so onwards. But on sad occasion, never ever anything is given of 11 etc.

This guy really needs to learn about the Golden Ratio; for someone who talks about it so often, he surprisingly recites more lies than truths.

[@ronaldnydegger5033]

Is that so? Is there something you are missing out on that SB is saying?

[@Jay_Sullivan]

@@ronaldnydegger5033 , for one, he falsely claims that it's seen everywhere. The numbers don't match the claims. People are always claiming that it's in the human body and all of these other parts of nature, but it's actually not. They claim the golden spiral matches up with all of this architecture and paintings, but it doesn't. They claim that the Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio is the same thing, but they are not.
