  • 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.

    It had never occurred to me to paint trees this way! What a different way to approach this! I can clearly see how painting a tree this way establishes the shape of the tree as foremost important, then the branches, and the trunk becomes self apparent. I also appreciate the really interesting shapes that can be developed from this approach. As always, you are a phenomenal teacher, coach, human being, and a true gift to the entire art world. Your generosity is unrivaled. You are blessed and in this blessing, the blessings pour from you to everyone who encounters you. Giant hug and thank you for your beautiful gifts!! You are loved very dearly by so many!

    I learned so many things from this tutorial. I've been painting for years and it's great to listen to a professional artist not only show "how" to paint trees but also hear the "why" behind all the subtle techniques you employ. I liked your explanations of values as they relate to the overall makeup of the painting. I liked how you kept the highlights away from the edges to keep a good degree of contrast in the value of the tree against the light value of the sky. That's a kind of contrast you get in real life when you're out on bright sunlit days in a place like Yosemite. I spent many days in the park and there is an intensity of light in the valley that is a combination of clean air and thin higher elevation air that just make skies snap. I guess the thinner air reduces the normal effects of "atmospheric perspective". Anyway, great demo, I learned a lot from it.

    I have struggled with trees forever!!! Sky holes (bird holes) have stumped me but now I can do it thanks to this video. I went into my studio and redid a painting and boom, transformed!!! I don't know if you're up for a palm tree demo but that would really help me. AND thank you for helping me understand what that dang fan brush can do. Bob Ross was a marvel but all I ever say it used for were arches and they never looked right. Many thanks!!!

    I'm still relatively new to all this and learning how to create the shapes of the trunk & branches using the sky/bird holes gives me a way to look deeper into my painting & particularly into the beauty & essence of the tree itself and I truly cannot wait to try out this method as I have a great love for trees and have not been satisfied with my renditions to this point. I'm also hoping it will help correct the trees in my rendition of Monet's Magpie that I painted.

    Utilization of visualizing through negative space....I've attempted this long before ever understanding what was taking place, it was at a time when I had little familiarity with the unintended traits of different mediums. I love watercolor because but unless I spend a lot of time with some form of masking gum, I've not been able to steer away from overworking such techniques with watercolors.
    Any way I enjoy your teaching style, with no formal training ( I'm ever the autodidact) the ability of the accomplished to guide as well as you is a gift. Thank you sir.

So much personality goes into these lessons which are packed with rich nuggets of value. Thank you for doing these Stefan and sharing what you know with the world. I loved Bob Ross too, but you are indeed unique in your approach to art and natural beauty.

I'm not sure I consciously think about the techniques shown here, but I have noticed them appear in my own work... sky holes, thinking about branches following up and out patterns according to the seasons, lighting etc.
    After a second watch, some of the subtler points make more sense, such as the color theory.

    If an art student or even a child painter started a tree as a clump of the same colour and a trunk, they’d probably be corrected by their art teacher.
    The good thing about doing it this way is that seems to take longer, but what’s the hurry?.
    I paint to relax as I make mistakes if I hurry and have to do corrections.
    Once Stefan added the highlights the tree came alive.

    @pikeevans8559 2 года назад +3

    Having used the Bob Ross/Bill Alexander style of painting since 1982, I have to say that it is much easier to do than what you did. You can paint in the bird/sky holes as you go. You can leave missing limbs on pine trees as you go as well. It is just a different style of painting. Since the sky gets lighter as it nears the horizon, you don't see much difference in color shift when you paint over it. Generally the skies in my paintings are multi-colored, and trying to cut that into a darker shape just won't work. My trees usually have a dark a medium and a lighter color on each one. It gives them depth, and sky holes if you want them. Also you can almost indicate individual leaves using our method. The difference I see is that your style is more "impressionist"...where as my method tends to be more realistic. One drawback to our method is an abundance of paint if you are not careful. Then it can turn to mud. However the paint is very thick and you can thin other paints to go over them and it works very well.

      @@StefanBaumann ...Yes sir, I totally agree that I don't know everything, and could learn a lot from other artists. I think that applies to everybody. My point was that in certain cases, my way is better than yours. When doing a sunset sky where multi colors are used and blended into each other... trying to cut them into the middle of a big tree is an impossible task to make it look like it wasn't cut in. Mountains with details fall into that same category. Yes your way works great when the background is a solid color with no details in it. Again I say that we are comparing two different styles of painting. So there are bound to be things that don't work as well for one style as it does for another.
      Bob Ross did half hour shows for television. A complete painting in a half hour. If you use his techniques and take your time, you can make some gorgeous paintings that look almost like a photograph. It is all about what you like to do and what you think looks good.

If you want sky holes in your trees....paint the sky , then paint the tree with holes in it, and be done with it.

      @@StefanBaumann cool🙂 do you know, what meaning your last Name has?
      If I take half of it, "Baum" it means "Tree"..."
      Mann" means "man"...
      "Bau" means " Building "
      Just incase you care to know, or maybe you already know...
      I wish you all the best greetings from germany😊
      And thank you for your tips, I just found you and look forward to watch more videos from you.

    I wish he taught watercolor. This doesn’t work in watercolor. Sky has to go in first. Tree color can be adjusted a tiny bit less blue to compensate. Dry brush with the side of a round brush also leaves sky holes.

    Hmm, It seems awkward and the painting looks cumbersome and strange to me. Was waiting to the end but nothing ever came together.
    Very interesting to see though and appreciate the
    different approach. Just like opinions we all have different ones!!
