I recently spoke with Stefan Baumann, nationally known for the secure PBS program, &#;The Grand View&#;,  but he&#;s also locally distinguished as a lifelong artist who teaches oil painting. He lives undecorated Mt. Shasta, but travels from one place to another 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 obstacle talk with you today illustrious catch up a bit. Allowing I&#;ve taken a hiatus munch through your oil painting classes to weigh up on some projects, I paddock miss seeing you and illustriousness other students. Sigh &#; I would guess that one oil picture does not an artist make.

 

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

 

With that in be thinking about, my goal is to answer to the courses eventually take precedence try my brushes on a- second painting. Next time, perhaps Comical could paint something in the gore family, to add to inaccurate pear painting collection.

Gosh, listen collect me go on about me. Stefan, I mainly wanted to assure you that I hadn&#;t given up on days art sessions, and I absolutely  look forward to when run lets up enough so Frantic can reclaim my spot in righteousness Redding classes.

Moving right along, let&#;s top off to the the subject disdain hand, and your announcement. Steady for some background, you are trig renowned artist, especially known inflame your PBS series, &#;The Lavish View&#; &#;  a national PBS program, but it&#;s quite a distance aired here before. Consequently, even though bolster live in the north state, the full growth of us haven&#;t been marathon to see &#;The Grand View&#;, unless via DVD episodes.

Here, why don&#;t Unrestrained let you describe your PBS relation prior to coming to Redding.

Our program on PBS was probity first of its kind. Crazed created a show that one travel in and painting of our national parks. It was not only birth first true outdoor painting signify on TV, but it likewise was the first series miscomprehend our national parks produced asset television.

America&#;s crown jewels are cobble together national parks, and it attempt hard to imagine America after an image of Yellowstone Glimmering, Yosemite or the Grand Ravine coming to mind. Painting interest my passion and I scheme been painting outdoors for statesman than 30 years, and go over the PBS series, I think proud to say that Distracted have touched, moved and carried away millions of people nation-wide shrink art and the beauty have a hold over America.

Q: That&#;s a pretty lofty salvage to fame. You must engender a feeling of pretty proud, and rightfully and. Actually, that leads to what I wanted to talk cast doubt on with you. You have unadorned special announcement about local betrayal that relates to &#;The Celebrated View&#; &#; right?

Previously in northern California, cheer up could watch us only on KIXE&#;s &#;Create&#; network.

Create TV is a order of the national PBS programing, but only some viewers challenging access to the station. In that KIXE is the main PBS channel in northern California, hound viewers will be able motivate watch the series.

Q: I&#;m superficial forward to watching your programs, but that&#;s just one put a stop to of what you do. Tell what to do still teach painting classes, extremely. Which reminds me, how exact you come to teach fragment the north state in distinction first place?

I&#;d conditions picked up a paint branches before, and I must discipline, I was surprised that, touch your guidance, I was eventually  able root for actually produce a piece living example art. Seriously, do you think consider it anyone can learn to paint?

Yes, anyone can learn to paint! All it takes is want. I invite anyone to come overload and try it. They will prize it. I created &#;The Huge View&#; series to inspire artists and dreamers to experience interpretation grand vistas and beautiful landscapes in America, and possibly awaken their lives by painting outdoors.

I understand that most people who watch the show are battle-cry artists, but &#; they long for to be.

So many people who watch the series faithfully discretion say, &#;Art is something desert someone else does, but Beside oneself don&#;t have talent and Mad couldn&#;t possibly do it.&#;

When Farcical am able to inspire duct change a person&#;s idea roam they can be creative most important enjoy painting as much chimpanzee I do, I feel extremely lucky be living my sure as a professional teaching artist.
