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.
People like to criticize Bob Ross about his style of painting. I know Bob was not a traditional "Great Master" painter and I think that he would agree that he wasn't but I don't think that was his point to his style of painting. I believe that he wanted to show people that painting didn't have to be complicated and cost thousands of dollars in materials. He just wanted to show people how easy painting can be and said many times that his style was just an example of how it can be done. He got many people to start painting because his style is so easy. That's how I got started and then found my own style. I believe that's what Bob wanted. Just my opinion.
Bill Alexander style
Completely agree! He was famous, well off and introduced many to painting...then they find their style! I have great respect for Bob Ross..don't appreciate him being dissed.
I dont think that Baumann was being disrespectful. Doesnt seem the type. I'm sure he knows as well that Bob Ross was just trying to get people into painting and showing them the basics and inspiring them to get started vs teaching them the more complex concepts.
You are saying about material and cheap. His material is became a brand. His brushes, his palet, his easel…..they are costing a lot. More then then ‘normal’ material.
So everything is about *money*
((I know someone who was only listening to his voice, because she could sleep.))
@Dita, art Bob Ross was bought out by a company that turned his simple and inexpensive line of equipment into what we see today. There is a documentary about the take over. It seems the Ross family was outed and lost all rights to the name brand line. There was a lot of bad blood because the company who owns the Bob Ross name/product line got greedy, steering far away from Bob's original vision of trying to simplify painting and making it accessible to artists of all skill levels. Ross was my inspiration to get into painting, I used to watch him when I was a kid in the early 80s. Great tutorial, Stefan! I always appreciate these videos.
The quality of your instruction is beyond that of Bob Ross. He taught us how to get out a brush, some paints, and put it down on canvas in an impression of what we see. You teach us how to 'see' what we are painting. I love that you refer to painting the effect of light when we paint. Thank you, Stefan.
Your welcome and thanks for the kind words
I've been drawing trees for all of my life and have never been able to paint one, except to make it look cartoonish. I'm currently trying to paint a sign for a storefront selling crystals and minerals that is in all neon colors. Using heavy bodied acrylics - horribly translucent, but its all I have. The subject is all nature from the west coast to the east coast of the USA. I have been trying, unsuccessfully to paint the ragged pine trees, I've been so frustrated, I clicked on YT for any kind of instruction. God smiled on me and directed me right to your videos! I have learned SO MUCH just watching 2 videos, I can't thank you enough! Will be watching all of your videos and referring friends to do the same.
👍it was Bob and ur show the Grand Veiw.. It was Bob who inspired and ur show that pushed me to do it.
Bob Ross was a great artist. I think, as time goes by, history will prove that. I'm amazed at the pace he painted at. In 27 minutes, he laid down a lot of paint...in one take. I never appreciated that until I became a painter. There was a lot of prep involved.
The way I understand it, Bob learned the wet on wet technique from Bill Alexander. Bill was an artist who came up with that specific technique, which always started out by coating the canvas with magic white. Shortly after Bob started painting on tv, he had to change the name of his "magic white" to "liquid white" to avoid legal action. Bob wasn't the first. Magic white and liquid white is basically linseed oil with a little bit of white paint in it.
Anyway, I love the Baumann Effect series. It was a great idea. Thanks for the free book and newsletter. Great video.
your welcome
Thank you for being a wonderful person, teacher and artist 🎨 ❤. I watch you as much as I can, I need you in my life.
I totally was blown away by Bob Ross when I 1st watched him in a hotel room while on furlough with my family. Because of him I finally began painting this year! I am enjoying your lessons and learning to make the shapes of natural trees! Thank you!
lol! If it weren't for Bob Ross, I would not have been able to paint some of my first pieces! (Not like they were gallery-worthy, but worth looking at...) Though I would always find my own ways to attempt what he did; due to lack of the same equipment. I've had this funny cartoon in my head for a while now: When I finally make it to one of Stefan's workshops, I'd whip out a killer landscape like Bob Ross might... but it's like, yeah, right!!!
Though I must reiterate to you, Mr. Baumann, the absolute most I've learned is from your previous generation of videos. That is, until this new generation! Why? For, actually watching you paint, really speaks volumes to me. I am sofa king glad to be watching these tree episodes right now! The other day I painted a pine tree with a little snow on it... it was probably the best tree I ever painted! (At least that's what I thought...) Still, I knew it could be better...
Everything you teach makes so much sense. At least to me. Anything I'm not doing already, and correctly - the way you show how - instinctively, I had the inkling (pun intended) to want to do it that way. For example, what you just said about the golden mean... when I first learned that from you, it was something I was already doing innately... but trees... man, trees are trees!!! I am exited b/c I have lots of room to grow in the tree arena! Lots of practice!
I also want to learn to paint boats better, but we'll talk about that during a coaching session... lol. I've called a couple times, thinking I was ready. Though next time, I will be.... probably in a couple weeks or less. Anyways, Bob Ross is still my favorite tree maker... lol
glad I can give you some insight
I have ordered the book of landscape painting , also drawing from the right side of the brain. Thank you Stefan Bowmann 🙏🏾.
I did start with Bob Ross. But I like your style much better, thank you for your generosity with your videos.
I not only love your teaching style, I love that you explain every detail and why it’s done.
Very easy listening and calming. Thank you .
Wow, thank you!
Stefan, your videos are so helpful. I am seeking to improve my techniques, have taken notes and am excited to try some new trees. Your discussion about Perspective and Line of View and how to use brushes are all things I will improve upon. Thank you!!
I find your tutorials so very enlightening. Thank you so much.
Definitely loved watching Bob Ross. My dad, also was a painter/artist and he was my first exposure and inspiration, but Bob definitely made painting feel happy! I've loved to paint since childhood and still do! Thank you for doing what you do and you are my latest inspiration for painting! Love ya!
Your enthusiasm always inspires me and your instruction has been invaluable! No one else teaches these techniques ie checkering! Your 12 keys vid is my favorite and have often shared with my friends!
Rustoleum white car primer, will be looking for that. Thanks Stefan . Also can't wait for your book. All the Best
I love Bob. He is the one who got me interested in painting. The world needs more Bob Ross's.
Yes, I was born inspired by Bob Ross. I had been an actress in my youth. I was into theater and music; piano lessons, ballet etc...
Art never entered my mind. Then - when I was 75 years of old I saw Bob Ross on television and I thought, 'Hey I can do this!' so I found an old piece of board In my back yard, some almost empty paint cans in the garage, and some odd brushes that the kids left around. AND I painted a masterpiece. I haven't stopped yet. I am 90 years old.
I really enjoyed this, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I’m glad to have found your channel, and especially for the flow of your instruction, really informative and valuable. Thank you!!
Absolutely love your videos and refer back to them often! Thank you so much for sharing your gift with everyone and being such an excellent teacher. I look forward to watching them here and on Facebook. It also helps when I am teaching little ones in my store and the museum I work at to paint, and how to see things in shapes as they so naturally do. Please continue sharing these gifts of your knowledge as they are being passed down to others as we learn them.
Sincerely,
Annie McAulay
Thanks for the kind words
Thank you very much. This lesson was very helpful!
Hi there great tips I am a abstract painter tree from the age of four live in Scotland an area full of trees I always psinted tree as I seen them was taught by a Welsh teacher we would class over my landscapes being a scot and being Welsh we could not see eye to eye love the way you explain the technical side of tree never thought about it before.
Always enjoy eucalyptus trees, thanks Stefan.
Thumbs up, Bob Ross inspiration!😁
I'm FIRST! :) LET's get these brushes out!!!!
One thing about Ampersand boards is you have confidence for long term stability as they control the whole process. The hardboards(former masonite) from other countries can have some nasty chemicals. Most large box stores claim their hardboards to be formaldehyde free...I have def gotten some with some nasty smells to them.
The automotive primer is terrific and an amazingly great tip! I love my boards that I have done that with. I also have begun to use AFM Safecoat while in my basement studio with so so ventilation - this way my stored panels wont give off any harmful chemicals. Just got in some Rublev Oil ground to prime my boards with...can't wait to try that out. Nothing like oil primed surfaces.
I'm sure many others here remember Bob Ross quoting a student who wrote him saying she called them "Z-trees". He got a kick out of that & it always stuck with me. RIP Mr. Ross.
That you for the fan brush instruction on trees. These videos are great. Please do grasses sometime. I’m improving but not where I want to be!
Very Interesting approach. Good.
I’m a struggling digital artist returning to physical paints and was among those kids who bought a set of Liquitex acrylics and painted indoors because it dried so fast! Used a lot of India Ink too. Watercolors captured my fancy, but after my partner of 30+ years passed and left behind his oil paints I decided it was a sign I should now try them. There is much to learn of oil paint and it’s taken time to grasp how much they changed, as with acrylics. Water soluble and open acrylics, less offensive safer mediums. I’m still stunned by all of this and am seeking information but would love to hear your thoughts on paint/medium toxicity since this is becoming more of a concern for people. I’m catching up so if you already covered this please dismiss my request.
My first brushes were a small cheap set used until they reduced to ferrels or a single hair. I had no money for more and you are right, art can be created with a stick if that’s what you have! I started in grade through high school so it wasn’t Bob Ross who sparked an interest but he did more. He showed I wasn’t all alone and that painting was a blessing for those who practiced it. In my case art and music were escapes from a complicated life, they preserved sanity. I wish I’d watched The Grand View, but perhaps now is the time meant to reach out for this knowledge. I’ve powerful spirit guides and listen intently for their guidance.
I bought a digital copy of Carlson’s book with my saved digital credits and like it so far. I looked to buy a Stefan Baumann book and found a free ebook instead. Nice… also a bunch of audio recordings (podcasts) free on Amazon. I will be among your first customers for your book I assure. You are a giving and generous person Stefan. I wanted to thank you for everything and let you know how grateful I am. Blessings to you and yours in the life to come. 🌺
Bob also explained if he had more time to show you he said all kinds of good things but my show is only 30 minutes...I learned a lot from Bob but it's time to move on and learn more.. I am glad I found this sight
Welcome Stay for awhile
❤️
My inspiration to paint is, Michelangelo!
I love abstract art. If I want realism I use a camera. My love is most likely color. I love Van Gogh and he painted with lines...movement.
I was inspired by Bob Ross in the 80’s!!
Why not use tempered masonite rather than MDF board? Once it’s roughed up a little with sandpaper you can still prime it. It seems like it would be a better surface long-term than MDF. Love your videos.
They're not available at stores anymore
I believe he meant tempered hard board that they sell now- Masonite was a brand name..MDF agree is a different animal with pressed layers and def more prone to damage
@@lyceum4177 correct Masonite was a brand name - I think Stefan meant hardboard which is essentially the same as Masonite was - MDF is a different animal and usually thicker than hardboard and def not as long term stable at the edges and corners as hardboard.
Love your instruction but the lack in contrast due to the light bright or light color makes it hard to see exactly what you are talking about.
That's to bad maybe you can come to my demo for free and hold my light
@@StefanBaumann I would love to be of help . But I live in PA a long way from you like about 3000 miles . I still love your instruction though.
it would be fun Love you
Great forehead brotha. I Have one quite similar. Awesome tree technique!!
👍👍
thanks for this video. Did I miss something? What medium are you using for block ins? I watched part 1 and didn't hear it mentioned either. Are you using mineral spirits or oil to thin the paint?
I agree with your comments about rustolium being better than gesso. I think gesso is overrated. I actually seal my mdf with an industrial grade concrete acrylic fortifier/ sealer then prime with exterior grade acrylic paint. Gesso is too absorbent and I am surprised it is categorized as archival 🤔
you're f awesome. like a celebrity looking hippy/ biker/ negan thing going on.. preety cool brother!
Hey there, I love learning from you. You are amazing. Is there a chance to show us how you approach an animal Painting/portrait? Thank you! 😊
Great suggestion!
One way to tell what is most important, value or temperature, look what happens if you limit one of them. If what was taken away is most important, the painting won’t read.
❤️👍🏼
You are good technically but Bob Ross made me pick up a brush & paint ..His paintings has a rhythm.
Eucalyptus trees...see the works of Arthur Streeton and Tom Roberts.
💕 💞 ♥ 💜
There are no mistakes but happy accidents
👍
Stefan I know you’re really big on painting light opposed to painting things what’s your opinion on Thomas Kincaid I’ve heard him called the painter of light
yea but all artist paint with light and that term was first used my Monet
@@StefanBaumann I really like how Kincaid makes his cabins glow but I find most of his work to be reallly busy, and I have a hard time watching him… a bit to preachy for me
You have a plein air painting book coming out? Yes! I want an autographed copy!
By the way, I've never liked or have ever been inspired by Bob Ross's painting. He comes across as a very nice and sincere guy, and I don't want to besmirch his character. but I've never cared for his style of art.
Yes I Do Im working on it as we speak!
@@StefanBaumann Wonderful! I will seriously want this book and look forward to it. 🎉
@@FreeSpokenOne me too!!
you’re a lot better than you used to be
I have always been fabulous, you are just now getting to realize that!
Me👌during lockdown.
Bob Ross was to painting what McDonalds is to Haute cuisine.
It hurts me watching you wipe your art off. While doing my tree watching I have noticed the zig zag that you were doing but to me part of the reasons they do that is the branches are seeking out there share of the sunlight and rain. By doing that it causes the spiral but also seldon one branch or leaves are under each other. I love Trees and your art. Thank you for sharing!
Bob Ross painted for children I think . He was not a real artist. But you are an real artist. Thank you
He is in the Smithsonian, so I would consider that real!
He was very real with a huge following and much to show for it. Was he among classic painters, no, but he was dearly loved. It’s not as much that we love others, it’s how we are remembered by them, worth keeping in mind when we feel as if someone or something is beneath us.
@@FreeSpokenOne Bravo ✌🏼
It doesnt add anything good talking about Bob Ross. The documentary on Mr Ross shares struggles approaching his death and after for his son. Mr Ross had a mission and he kept to painting for people even though he was ill. I think we could celebrate him or just not talk about him. Ive watched nearly all your videos. This one I didnt enjoy.
Jon Gnagy’s learn to draw.
Mr Stefan...come to Islam
Why?
@@StefanBaumann why not
