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.

Thank you. I was painting for all the wrong reasons. I understand now. To paint outward, reach into people. Not paint inward. I feel a weights been lifted. Very grateful

@jmfineart2263 Год назад

O great!!! Glad I'm on the right track! Communicating something thru art & touch the heart of the viewer. 😊

@helenschaefer1167 4 года назад

This presentation is the best, Stefan Baumann. I learned a lot. I must listen again to reinforce it all.

@mikedonovan8811 7 лет назад

When I was 12, I was the best artist my age that I knew. But I only did it for myself, and resented it when other people made my art to be about their reaction to it.

@Kay-pt3bm 6 лет назад

I'm in love with that road trip painting with the chair

@lisafred1362 3 года назад

Me too. OMG.. I could die a happy person if I could paint like that.

@beckyg9831 7 лет назад

When you said "I didn't get your envelope with cash in it" I literally laughed out loud! You are such an effective teacher and guide, and you're funny too. Well done!

@StefanBaumann 7 лет назад

Thanks

I learn SO much from student examples.. thank you Stefan for teaching this way. Please tell all your students I send BIG HUGS to them ALL for allowing public view of their work. I love love seeing the varied work that comes out of your classes. During these Covid times I take long walks and listen to your lectures each time..Often my brain takes snapshots of where I see a focal point as I see things. I came across some tossed bubble wrap and foil together glittering in the sun the other day and thought of you. I watch the videos when I get home.. sometimes many times, but just listening helps the concepts to stay in my brain. By the way, you have mastered the art of being an entertaining instructor. I always said I could never go to art school because most lecturers bore me to death. I think your videos are entertaining because of your handsome expressive face, great outfits, your voice, humorous stories, and your hand gestures. It is like you are doing a painting when you talk. Your hands and arms take up a lot of space. They move like a conductor... and emphasize the expressions on your face. I love how you reach out and twist your hand on a key point. I always rewind when I see that because I know you are saying something important. Ex. "The CRAFT (gesture) of painting is now key." I think you draw people "in" doing that gesture. I have to try it when I am trying to convince my husband of something.

@StefanBaumann 3 года назад

THanks so much for your kind words, They inspire me to make more videos! I would love to see your paintings sometime.

@kryspettit108 7 лет назад

I watch all your videos and I learn so much -- and it reinforces things I already know instinctively. This video is a great go to and a refresher for me. When I have down days in the studio I like to go to your videos and do a quick tutorial. You are a gifted artist, yes, but also a gifted teacher. What a combo--not many can do both effectively. Thank you for all you do!

@StefanBaumann 7 лет назад

WOW i think I can die now, that was a great comment, thanks

@anonymousfellowindian 4 года назад

Thanks. Your videos have got me thinking how to improve my art.

@loiswarren4442 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for you willingness to share your knowledge. I have learned so much from watching your videos. I eagerly await each new post.

@ronaldnydegger5033 4 года назад

Observing, witness, feeling is behind the thought of painting sharing what ones sees; from the heart.

There's another book in you, Stefan! Great presentation!

@pamelayarborough6119 6 лет назад

I have recently discovered your RU-vid channel and I am hooked. I completely love your philosophy of lights and darks and I am working at incorporating your ideas and philosophies into my paintings. I love it. I need to work on speed and learning on what to put the detail in and what to let fall into the background a little more because I have always felt everything needed the utmost detail. I have not yet painted from a live still life but it is next on my list. As soon as I get my life situated a little better, I would love to participate in your coaching sessions. Thanks so much for your insight!

@karlfritz-fineart296 7 лет назад

Great presentation. A powerful introduction to your techniques, and a refreshing summary for those (myself included) who may be too deep in the weeds trying to create. Thank you for sharing.

i absolutely LOOOVE the "friends" painting.

@lisengel2498 7 лет назад

Its more than concept - concepts come from total experience and to really deeply experience something is about how you are present - how you open to the event of experiencing

@StefanBaumann 7 лет назад

I like that

@MelanieMaguire 3 года назад

Some fabulous paintings here. I wish I could go to a gallery and see all these paintings. They're absolutely scrumptious. :)

@chrislittebrant5235 6 лет назад

Your Welcome

@Dazzelated 7 лет назад

It is very very informative. I will be thinking of 'a stage' as I paint. Hopefully, I keep improving the art skills. Thank you.

@acaciarogersart 7 лет назад

I love your quote about abstract being like making dinner only for yourself. Its so true. If only the artist understands what they just painted, its kind of lonely. Unless its just for fun. I suppose throwing paint and smacking canvases can be good fun, but that might be all it is, unless of course you are one of those rare and talented abstract artist that can evoke an intended emotion in the viewer. If you have a lot of disagreement amongst your viewers as to what the meaning or feel is of the painting, than it doesnt mean anything, and in my opinion, doesnt make for good art.

@MelanieMaguire 3 года назад

I totally agree with you. I find abstract painting self-indulgent. It communicates nothing to me but irritation at the arrogance and self-absorption of the artist. I feel very saddened that the 20th century brought so much bad art. Compared to previous centuries, modern work is just silly. I know that there are many advocates for abstract art and many abstract artists - the art schools are churning them out - but I think it's a dreadful shame. Just my opinion...

@rduff1999 3 года назад

I once came across an interview quote by a well known artist. When asked about one of her paintings she replied that it was meant to be a message to a friend but wasn't sure if said friend would get the message as the artist, herself, wasn't sure what the message was. Since then I have tried to ensure that my concept/message can be seen.

@ronschlorff7089 5 лет назад

Love that area up there, I spent much of my professional life, as a wildlife biologist, in Trinity, Shasta, Siskiyou, Lassen, and Modoc counties, also back packing many times into the Trinity Alps and Marble Mountains! And Mount Shasta can be seen from afar in much of that area; good places to paint and fish, and just live!! Good on you being up there to teach art; lovely landscapes everywhere!!

Just wanted to add that I am an amateur artist who does assigments given out by the Senior Center. I did narrative art for the first time. The teacher made us do narrative art (from poems, music ect). I did the assigments grudgingly. But at the end of 4 months I realized all my narrative work was Covid related even if I didn't intend it to be. I did a self portrait behind bars for example with the title: "What day IS this anyway?" ... you get the idea. The director of the Center featured my narrative art in a newsletter for the entire Senior Center because she said it "touched her" and she thought the rest of the seniors should see it. I was so shocked because my other work seemed technically better. I wasn't even happy doing the narrative assignments. But, when I was younger I remembered doing a dance class and they said: If you don't like the music, dance anyway... dance the "I hate the music dance!" But show us how MUCH you hate the music in a big way." Well between Covid blues and the narrative assigment, those emotions came out in my work. So.. if anyone thinks they have nothing to communicate to others, ... Covid is a huge subject to explore in art. Generations afterward will be asking: What was it like? The lady who did the "Friends" piece for example.. WOW.. how emotional. The beauty is, you don't even have to have wait to get great drawing skills (like the rocking chair artist) to do a piece like "Friends".

@IslandTides 4 года назад

The painting Friends.,.... truly an good story. Actually made me tear up a little... Not my style of painting but I liked it knowing the story behind it.

@lisengel2498 7 лет назад

I think of art as a communication that like Music is not just about information or intension - its about more than couscous thought - its a kind of total experience that explore the unknown

@StefanBaumann 7 лет назад

I agree

@hmax1591 6 лет назад

Great video. The only thing that sort of made me chuckle was that the painting of the apes are not really orangutans they look more like Chimpanzees. I thought you were going to mention it. An artist needs to know what the hell they're painting, can you imagine having a title on that painting in an art show as for example "Orangutan Family" and people would be like those are not orangutans. Painting not sold.

@cynthiaoliver1194 6 лет назад

Greetings from North Idaho! You are a wonderful speaker. Very engaging and great communication skills. Thank you for your clear explanations and insight. I hope to someday be able to attend your workshop... Cyndi. :)

@Flippables 7 лет назад

Focal point is very important for traditional art, but I'm wondering if that is the case for modern non-representational art. Some paintings of Escher, and many paintings of Mondrian, Murakami do not have focal points, or have competing areas. Yayoi Kusama's work almost never has focal points. Rather than focal points they have rhythm, pattern, movement, at the level that can not be possible compared with wallpaper.

@johnsaling6303 5 лет назад

Really enjoyed this and realized you mentioned Medford.. Had to rewind haha.. I live in Medford and would love to attend your classes :)

Art is a product of your Society. Or it is Beauty and balance all in one.

@tavleenkaurlall5870 7 лет назад

hey Stefan, i am really inspired by your way of teaching. your teaching have helped me in my paintings and i try to apply them :) just now while watching this video i had a tiny question.. Do all paintings ie. compositions have a central focal point? not famous paintings, but also the ones in this video can we find it ourselves .. maybe the way the three colors are mixing in an object? that attracts viewers? is it counted as an effect ... just like a light effect ?

I wish I was knowledgeable about painting as he is. However I do load my everytime I paint with red blue yellow green orange purple black and yellow. Also buy expensive paint and cheap brushes. I will buy opposite expensive brushes.

@Superflow66 7 лет назад

I love representational art and I appreciate all your knowledge and videos. But I have to respectfully disagree about your comments about abstract art. It's comes across like artistic racism sort of speak. Abstract art when done with the knowledge of classical art techniques can be just as beautiful as classical art itself. Focus points -interesting edges -interesting temperature ranges and all. Even when we look at any object up close it is a mass of abstract shapes. One can even argue that a landscape is abstract. Landscapes are a bunch of random values and shapes ect that appear to the viewer as something they recognize. A good abstract artist plays with them boundaries with precision. I do agree a lot of abstract art kind of sucks but the more modern approaches can connect with the viewer very well in my opinion. Just my two cents

@StefanBaumann 7 лет назад

I totally agree and that is what I was saying that not all abstract is good

@acaciarogersart 7 лет назад

Landscapes are not abstract. If you think that then you dont know what abstract is. Abstract means it doesnt represent or resemble something identifiable or in existence. That it is made up. Or something that greatly changes or distorts something from life. If you can look at a landscape and know your looking at a landscape, trees, mountains, water, whatever...than its not abstract. Its a landscape.

@sherrierichard2848 7 лет назад

I think you are taking this too literally. The shapes of the trees, mountain and water, ARE abstract shapes of color, value, edges and textures.

@kavereon 6 лет назад

He didn't say he had a problem with Abstract art. He said that abstract art that doesn't communicate anything to the viewer isn't art.

@usselpasoable 6 лет назад

Abstract art is mostly for people who can't paint. It is so self indulgent and exists only as much as people have the ability to bullshit their projected "meaning" on to the painting. The "artist" always wears black clothing, the critics attach social dogma to it, and everything is subjective. These are the same people that would put up a white canvas at a gallery while some moron waxes poetically on the emotion of this great piece.

@lyceum4177 5 лет назад

Lol, soooo true

@theeaselrider4032 5 лет назад

When I see abstract art, or worse yet - something created by a " Conceptual Artist ", I think there's someone who went to art school, but skipped drawing classes. Drawing is the key to everything no matter what type of art you want to create. It's what really teaches you how to communicate to someone else what it is you see or feel about a subject.How to capture a view or an emotion. Look at any of the great masters from any period or movement - and all of them drew and sketched on a daily basis. If you want to be a better painter, practice drawing more. But that would take time and effort, which why some people end up doing "abstract" art.

@ComradeMorlac 7 лет назад

one of my biggest disappointments was when i first saw how an abstract painting is made on youtube. Before i thought the abstract artists are so huge artists i couldnt understand any abstract pictures and it frustrated me so much. After watching some videos on youtube i realized they are basically just fucking around without any sense and they are wasting a lot of paints.... i find it sad. They just give meaning to the pictures after the final results... So my big respect turned to be a huge hate.
