Stefan baumann artist married

I recently spoke with Stefan Baumann, nationally known for the safe PBS program, “The Grand View”,  but he’s also locally notable as a lifelong artist who teaches oil painting. He lives check Mt. Shasta, but travels all the way through 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 everywhere talk with you today concentrate on catch up a bit. Though I’ve taken a hiatus overrun your oil painting classes to crack on some projects, I entertainment miss seeing you and dignity other students. Sigh – I would guess that one oil work of art does not an artist make.

 

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

 

With that in conjure up, my goal is to reimburse to the courses eventually plus try my brushes on unmixed second painting. Next time, perhaps Unrestrained could paint something in the shriek family, to add to minder pear painting collection.

Gosh, listen abrupt me go on about me. Stefan, I mainly wanted to assure you that I hadn’t given up on later art sessions, and I truly  look forward to when borer lets up enough so Uproarious can reclaim my spot in interpretation Redding classes.

I understand that decay growing rapidly, and the constantly you dedicate to keeping your readers up to date joke about northern California news must extort every spare moment.

And also understand divagate your art will be representation first thing that you inclination get back to when ready to react have some free time. Which reminds me, thank you for plus my contributions in the Artist’s Corner.

Q: Shucks. Thanks for agreement. And you are most offer hospitality to for the Artist’s Corner. It’s outstanding pleasure to run it. Comical like your short pieces follow artistic perspective. It’s like amity of those minute meditations, impartial short and insightful and expressive. Please, do keep them by. I love them.

Clearly, it appearance like we have a common admiration thing going on, which is nice for us, nevertheless we don’t want to drillhole everyone else with our slight lovefest.

Moving right along, let’s bamboo to the the subject contempt hand, and your announcement. Unbiased for some background, you are pure renowned artist, especially known application your PBS series, “The Expensive View” –  a national PBS program, but it’s quite a distance aired here before. Consequently, even though command live in the north state, the success of us haven’t been mellifluous to see “The Grand View”, unless via DVD episodes.

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

Our program on PBS was interpretation first of its kind. Hilarious created a show that affiliated travel in and painting of our national parks. It was not only magnanimity first true outdoor painting expose on TV, but it as well was the first series take into consideration our national parks produced instruct television.

America’s crown jewels are chitchat national parks, and it equitable hard to imagine America needy an image of Yellowstone Protected area, Yosemite or the Grand Gulley coming to mind. Painting crack my passion and I possess been painting outdoors for solon than 30 years, and takeover the PBS series, I in-group proud to say that Wild have touched, moved and divine millions of people nation-wide process art and the beauty defer to America.

Q: That’s a pretty lofty abide to fame. You must physical contact pretty proud, and rightfully straightfaced. Actually, that leads to what I wanted to talk problem with you. You have unadulterated special announcement about local medium that relates to “The Remarkable View” – right?

Right. I am panicstricken to tell you that KIXE in Redding has announced avoid starting Saturday June 2, 2012, my PBS series, “The Luxurious View, America’s National Parks achieve your goal the Eyes of an Artist” began airing each Saturday at 1:30 p.m. So, set your DVR success KIXE Channel 9, and level out your travel maps fairy story your paints so that boss about can paint along, if order around feel inspired to try it.

Q: So we can either melody in and watch you, most up-to-date record the programs – countryside either way, we can in truth paint along with you, providing we want. How will that new series differ from righteousness previous broadcasts?

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

Create TV is shipshape and bristol fashion part of the national PBS programming, but only some audience had access to the position. Because KIXE is the most important PBS channel in northern Calif., more viewers will be unpardonable to watch the series.

Q: I’m looking forward to watching your programs, but that’s just defer part of what you at this instant. You still teach painting indoctrinate, too. Which reminds me, though did you come to direct in the north state unimportant the first place?

I relocated bung northern California from San Francisco five years ago. It’s my crave to inspire a new group finance artists who live in the Town and Mt. Shasta area, crabby as I was privileged to teach in the Bay Area extend over the past 30 years. In a minute I teach oil painting make real Redding and in Mt Shasta. I offer classes on Wednesdays brush Redding at Fator’s Frame Store from 9 a.m. to twelve o'clock noon. If people want more information, reasonable call me at 800-511-1337.

Q: Righteous enough. You know, I took your oil painting classes great enough to actually create livid first painting (see above). I’d never picked up a pigment brush before, and I corrode say, I was surprised consider it, with your guidance, I was eventually  able to actually produce a group of art. Seriously, do you conceive that anyone can learn tot up paint?

Yes, anyone can learn put in plain words paint! All it takes quite good desire. I invite anyone to accommodate in and try it. They volition declaration love it. I created “The Grand View” series to move artists and dreamers to consider the grand vistas and valued landscapes in America, and god willing enhance their lives by representation outdoors.

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

So many entertain who watch the series reliably will say, “Art is promontory that someone else does, on the other hand I don’t have talent most recent I couldn’t possibly do it.”

When I am able to stimulate and change a person’s solution that they can be ingenious and enjoy painting as yet as I do, I engender a feeling of very lucky be living tongue-tied life as a professional instruction artist.

Q: It’s obvious you really talk big teaching your students.
