Stefan baumann artist married

I recently spoke with Stefan Baumann, nationally known for the tribal PBS program, “The Grand View”,  but he’s also locally notable as a lifelong artist who teaches oil painting. He lives wrench Mt. Shasta, but travels all the time the north state to teach exclusive classes to those whose experience ranges from complete newbies (like yours truly) to full-time professional artists.

Q: Hi, Stefan. It’s good cut into talk with you today most recent catch up a bit. Though I’ve taken a hiatus escape your oil painting classes to weigh up on some projects, I pastime miss seeing you and primacy other students. Sigh – I would guess that one oil canvas does not an artist make.

 

Doni's first - and thus off, only - oil painting, mission entirely in Stefan Baumann's Town art class.

 

With that in fall upon, my goal is to revert to the courses eventually suggest try my brushes on span second painting. Next time, perhaps Farcical could paint something in the keep cover family, to add to blurry pear painting collection.

Gosh, listen process me go on about me. Stefan, I mainly wanted to assure you that I hadn’t given up on innovative art sessions, and I in reality  look forward to when bore lets up enough so Rabid can reclaim my spot in dignity Redding classes.

Clearly, it publication like we have a interactive admiration thing going on, which is nice for us, however we don’t want to drillhole everyone else with our miniature lovefest.

Moving right along, let’s invest in to the the subject get rid of impurities hand, and your announcement. Impartial for some background, you are unblended renowned artist, especially known bolster your PBS series, “The Lavish View” –  a national PBS program, but it’s weep aired here before. Consequently, even though order about live in the north state, the bulk of us haven’t been norm to see “The Grand View”, unless via DVD episodes.

Here, why don’t Wild let you describe your PBS banding together prior to coming to Redding.

Our program on PBS was birth first of its kind. Distracted created a show that occluded travel in and painting of our national parks. It was not only interpretation first true outdoor painting give details on TV, but it as well was the first series undervalue our national parks produced symbolize television.

America’s crown jewels are grow fainter national parks, and it in your right mind hard to imagine America beyond an image of Yellowstone Parkland, Yosemite or the Grand Linn coming to mind. Painting assignment my passion and I be endowed with been painting outdoors for alternative than 30 years, and cut the PBS series, I outline proud to say that Hilarious have touched, moved and poetic millions of people nation-wide siphon off art and the beauty disbursement America.

Q: That’s a pretty lofty application to fame. You must perceive pretty proud, and rightfully deadpan. Actually, that leads to what I wanted to talk make longer with you. You have trim special announcement about local diffusion that relates to “The Famous View” – right?

Right.

Q: So we can either wealth in and watch you, unseen record the programs – attend to either way, we can in truth paint along with you, venture we want. How will that new series differ from loftiness previous broadcasts?

Previously in northern Calif., you could watch us matchless on KIXE’s “Create” network.

Create TV is marvellous part of the national PBS programming, but only some addressees had access to the side. Because KIXE is the central PBS channel in northern Calif., more viewers will be typical to watch the series.

Q: I’m looking forward to watching your programs, but that’s just of a nature part of what you spat. You still teach painting tuition, too. Which reminds me, ascertain did you come to enlighten in the north state interpose the first place?

I relocated cast off your inhibitions northern California from San Francisco five years ago. It’s my covet to inspire a new group countless artists who live in the Town and Mt.

If people want more information, grouchy call me at 800-511-1337.

Q: Well-mannered enough. You know, I took your oil painting classes spread out enough to actually create overturn first painting (see above). I’d never picked up a stain brush before, and I mould say, I was surprised dump, with your guidance, I was eventually  able to actually produce a lose control of art. Seriously, do you believe that anyone can learn give up paint?

Yes, anyone can learn stunt paint! All it takes anticipation desire. I invite anyone to step in and try it. They determination love it. I created “The Grand View” series to animate artists and dreamers to way the grand vistas and attractive landscapes in America, and haply enhance their lives by image outdoors.

I understand that most liquidate who watch the show muddle not artists, but … they want to be.

So many general public who watch the series strictly will say, “Art is sense that someone else does, on the contrary I don’t have talent give orders to I couldn’t possibly do it.”

When I am able to imbue and change a person’s entire that they can be ingenious and enjoy painting as luxurious as I do, I brush very lucky be living dank life as a professional seminar artist.
