Thank you for your videos. I watch them multiple times because I do not get everything at the first time. "Look at the mess" is my favorite this time. Thank you. Greetings from Slovakia.
When you said, there's no colour, no format that's when I bailed out. I'm 70 retired and learning to paint. It's not the channel for me i'm afraid. I won't live long enough to learn or grasp that concept. I paint kittens for my granddaughter ...that is enough.
I paint dachshunds 😄 they are more illustrations than realistic. But they are fun. I did some cans in the grass for a friend that redeems cans. It came out decent. I did it to do something more adventurous to what I’ve been doing.
I LOVE YOUR WORK! and we all have our favorite(s), my fovorite composer is VERDI! When I "paint", (socalled), I listen to his music and am carreid away to places where dreams exist. THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR GREAT WORK!!
Amazing work. Oil painting is my favorite and I am learning the basics. Thank you for the tips and gorgeous examples you have provided in this video. Keep it up, take care
This intro gave me happy tears. There is no place on the planet I would rather go to paint than Mt. Shasta. The magic, the mystery, the wonder, and the history, not to mention the beauty; an epic venue choice, my friend. In a year or so, I hope you offer this workshop again.
Great to actually paint while you also talk - opens into an understanding of your process and I love the loose play with color and temperature - and Thank you for the link to asphaltum color and more that somebody made in the remarks
Would love to see this particular lecture/demonstration in-person @ PACE2020! Can’t wait to sit in! You have such great practical, technical tips. Thank you for all the work you put into your teaching, lectures, & videos!
This is easily the best of your videos as you demonstrate your approach in addition to talking about it. I would love to have seen the rest of the painting process play out. Thanks for the series!
@@StefanBaumann Will, you show us more on this same painting? I'd love to see MORE! Of course, the finished painting would be great too but the journey is what I'm most curious about.
Hi Stefan This is an awesome video, you are the first artist/teacher who talks of a sense of place. Beginning to really understand how important it is to have a road map and get in those larger shapes and darker values. Thank you so much. My question , is there a part 2 to this video ( how to start an oil painting the correct way) Hope so would like to see how you handle the values. Watched the Baumann effect 11. This is amazing as well. Take care and All the Best.
One time I ran out of solvent so I bought some regular turpentine from HD on my way to a nature preserve in the Arizona desert. Shortly after I toned the canvas I could hear people way up the hiking trail baffled about the new smell. After a while it directed people to me and my eyes were watering bad. People assumed they would see a masterpiece once they saw my setup. After two people pluged their nose and wandered off I packed up and made my escape. I did not want the smell in my car as I was having a serious allergic reaction to it so I left the can of turpentine in a dumpster. By the time I drove through the park gates the smell was literally overwhelming nature for a massive distance. I had no idea there was a difference between non-oderless and regular turpentine. I was so embarrassed. I wounder how bad the smell got before the trash was emptied.
Thanks for the advice, like to watch your process. Love your easel set up. Lol same as mine but a bit heavy in the woods but love it more than a box as you said.
Very good painting demonstration. The modern Asphaltum is made from several pigments, but the traditional one was made from tar or bitumen. Its use has led to deterioration of areas of paintings as it never fully dries and will crack and give a leathery appearence to areas of paintings. It was used by many painters, including Turner, l believe, and has led to problems. The use of bandages from Egyptian mummies, l think mainly in watercolour, created a sepia-like brown.
Love your TH-cam and Grand View programs. I am in a group of plein air landscape painters.l cannot find a source for Richard's paints on line.Would you tell all of us where you get yours?
If you're talking about the asphaltum color, I got some from Jerrysartarama. I didn't know he recommended that brand, but it was the only asphaltum I could find.
One day I will earn enough money from my paintings to pay for coaching from you, hopefully soon. I wonder if those students in the room know how lucky they are! I second the requests for a live stream 🙏❤️
If you have to, get a 2nd job to pay for coaching even if it's waitressing or uber driving. The benefits of Stefan's coaching will get you where you want to be faster even if it seems like a step backward in terms of time spent. Five hours of grunt work in exchange for 30 minutes of Stefan's coaching is a bargain. There is no luck involved, it is sacrifice and diligence, both of which will enrich your work.
@@gspurlock1118 I would absolutely get a second job to go with the painting career but those earnings would only just cover childcare at the moment (they are 2 and 4). Unless I work evenings and weekends in which case I loose out on painting time. Plus I'd be extra tired and probably loose more painting time because I'd be frazzled. It's OK. My youngest will get 16 free hours after March and my older one will start school in 2 weeks (I'm in the UK). Depending on where I'm at with my paintings I might give Stefan a call in the new year. I realise it is an investment worth making! Until then I will continue to enjoy these videos and carry on with the commissions I get and make the best I can with them.🍿😎🖼️ With the help of these videos so far I've gone from making very small paintings of animals and birds in acrylic to making portraits of people in oil. I've only done about 5 so far but they're pretty good considering I do this a few hours a week! Have a look if you fancy at facebook.com/annacollierart/ Thanks for the advice and happy painting 🎨💖
@@annacollier5372 Nice work!!! You are very wise to start painting when you're young. I wish I had had the presence of mind to do so when I was your age. Your prices might be a little low. Stefan recommended also setting up a Linked-In site which would be more of a professional site than a social site. That would be worth a little of your time. There are also a lot of online art selling sites like Etsy. Just google "sell oil paintings online" and you'll get a lot of places to go to. If you can do portraits from photos, you can work for anyone anywhere. Also check out the pricing of similar sizes and qualities of work to see if you should increase the prices for those sites. Best wishes to you!
I love your work! Thank you for helping a broad range of audience. I consider myself a newbie and you not only lead but you also inspire greatness . You are making a world wide impact on the world of artists. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I have to chuckle a bit because I am tone blind and I would have to use feedback on reaching a true black from the magic triad. Lol challenge accepted. I hope to take a mini class from you someday. Stay awesome! Thanks again for your inspiration
Sorry, question on varnishing. If varnish cannot be purchased and flown to my area as I live in the Caribbean with no art stores on my island. Is there a varnish I can buy at the hardware store? A commercial boat or wood varnish? I am only left with Home Depot as my option.
I really appreciated watching you paint from a reference picture. I am new to oil and loving it. But of course I am verrrry new. And very tired of just painting a copy of someone else’s videos. I discovered I am not learning “how” to paint, rather trying unsuccessfully to reproduce in a static environment. Thanks for sharing, I am going to try this approach and see what happens.
After watching your video on the Milwaukee Electrician backpack I bought one. By itself it was 7 pounds which was more than I could lift after adding the supplies are used to use. So I found a small one Like it-on Amazon.
I use an Osprey " Hikelite backpack " ..he's a great tutor but I'm not convinced by his backpack argument. I've used one for years without the problems he describes. That electrician's " box " looks way too bulky.
You are really an excellent instructor. I have seen number of your videos. I am a learner. Is it possible to show your palette and colour mixing for atleast the major shapes . Learners like us get confused in what colours you have used . It may take about 10 mins extra but it will help us a lot. Thank you. The Canyons was a great painting. In fact all of them are. Colonel Kanwar, India
I got evicted. SUDDENLY and after 8 years in this place. I'm 58. SIngle with a precious little IG support dog. I'm an artist, RECENTLY started with oils. Love you Stefan and your giving soul, and your vids. I have to start packing for a move from Maui to Missouri. I may have to be homeless for a month or so before this is all done. I have unfinished dental to get done and pay for before I leave and I'm flat broke. I have been fighting Lyme disease for 35 years. I have an older fragile support dog that I will NOT abandon nor leave behind. I'm scared and I'm tired. And in real pain. But I have to START packing because I have about 40 days to vacate at this point. I will have to leave a LOT of my belongings behind cuz I can't afford to ship it. I WILL BRING MY PAINTS AND BRUSHES. The point of all of this is I am so stressed right now BUT I am going to start HERE, at this channel. I'm going to start at the most recent vid by Stefan and press PLAY ALL. And I KNOW it's going to HELP ME more than anything else on the internet right now to just keep getting as much as I can get done each day for these 40 days. I've already WATCHED them all so now I can just listen while I pack and clean and survive and make sure my dog survives. THANK YOU STEFAN, for GIVING us all so much. It's not so much about the finished art at all, it's the expression of the SOUL that is important. And you have helped me realize that. I'm sure many others feel the same. In a world of selfishness, there ARE a few real HELPERS in this world, and Stefan you are THAT. THANK YOU. Michelle on Maui. PS I will TRY to start a doodle book to also get me through this move. I'm really afraid it all might do me or my dog IN, but I'm going to take it one day at a time. LOVE TO ALL. Paint with your SOUL everybody. That's really all that matters. Some days are hard and some are joyous. Try to love it ALL !!
One of my students has just moved to Missouri I will send her this email and I know she will love to meet you when you arrive, Its good to have a friend somewhere
When you need a break from your troubles, and Stefan is a good break, perhaps you might be open to something else too. Have you ever heard of Abraham Hicks? Search youtube and listen to any of them from the last 2 years. I was in your shoes a few years ago and this is how I was able to turn it around. I was exactly where I was supposed to be looking back in order for the next chapter to begin. Never give up. What if everything happens for a reason, in your best interest, whether you can clearly see it or not at the moment. Good luck to you.
@@marymyers9211 THANK YOU dear Mary. You are SO kind. Yep I've been in similar and worse situations a few times so I am just trying to BREATHE cry walk dance swear my way thru it, whatever it takes! I used to listen to A Hicks a long time ago. By now I''ve learned to tune in to my own inner "guide" . I believe the creative Force and all the answers are not out there but just a part of what we ARE .. INSIDE, for lack of a better way to describe the ALL. That said, I'm living as a human in a time when there is some kind of sickness of competition and greed. But there are SOME of us who are still good. SO thank you again for your encouragement and caring. It really is people like you and I that will save our selves and each other. ALOHA.. Michelle
Might I ask which brand of Asphaltum you use? I've notice different brands use different pigments, and was wondering if there is one you prefer? Thank you!
Also, your dancing, varied dynamic brushstrokes when you were making the background music comments were superb, why did they get buried under these uniform ticks and edge-touching, symmetrical triangles? Keep them, add color radiating edges around them!
Thanks for another great video Stefan. I think there is a lot of practice between where I am now and the elegance and grace of your brush. In the meantime, I really appreciate the practical pointers to help me get there. Watching you paint is like watching a ballet unfold. On another level, your work calls to mind Jordan Peterson's lectures on creating order out of chaos. You introduce a new level. As you say, the blank canvas is unlimited potential. Then you introduce deliberate chaos from which order can be extracted. Peterson doesn't go there. . .yet ;) As you limit the potential in the establishment of masses, you also refine and target the message. That is the establishment of order toward your objective. . . step 1 of your 12 points, concept. Well, I need to let these thoughts percolate which gives me time to practice as I work these things out. I'm looking forward to your next video.
You are mistaken that no one was using Maroger medium 40 years ago. I learned to make it at the art students league in New York from Frank Masonic 1971. He learned it from his instructor, Frank DuMond. It’s been passed down for centuries.
I SAID THAT most artists did not even know about it. The point is that it was made hundreds of years ago, I know that but it was not widely used... Please be smart and get that 40 years ago few people know about it remember that the internet was not invented yet!
2 awesome artist pals told me never to use pure white out of the tube. I dunno if you have addressed that before, any comments appreciated from anyone here...
This is one of my favorite videos and I need to watch it several more times. Is there any chance you can do more at different stages of paintings? I don't want to copy your style, but to learn the process of building color and light to create the effects. I've only been using ultramarine blue, but now, I suppose I'll start experimenting with cobalt blue to see what I can create with it. More adventure awaits!
Di Vinci was long dead before, Mozart, Brahms or Bach were even born, by like 150 years. Time travel jet lag? But get your point about painting with classical music 🥰😍
I've been watching your videos for a few years now and I'm so surprised to see you do a painting demonstration! I am enjoying it. However, you've said in the past that you don't do painting demonstrations. Why the change?
Wonderful work, love watching your videos while I paint. Can you do a video on framing your art? How do you feel about using high quality vintage or restored antique wood frames? Or should one only use gallery wrapped frames assuming they may be more desired by art collectors and not frame?
I so appreciate your videos and deep well of knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing so selflessly. I hope to see you at a show in the Bay area someday. Maybe I can acquire an original!
Oops! Sent it too fast. It weighed 5 pounds alone which was more than I could handle with 4 to 5 pounds more of supplies. It’s more than I can carry with my weak neck and shoulders. What I came up with was putting a plastic shoebox in the bottom of a 30 L Walmart Outdoors brand backpack. I’ve had this backpack probably four years now and it has survived going to several different tropical countries. Now it won’t fall over! I have a backpack I can carry with a hard bottom, three smaller pockets for smaller things and two net pockets on the outside. I carry my small Strada easel, turpnoid in a steel brush washer, five or six paint tubes, brushes in a cloth holder, small sketchbook, some canvas panels or canvas paper mounted on foam core and my iPad and weighs maybe 7 to 8 pounds, which I can handle. I will carry my tripod around my hips. Voila!
Stefan, I hope you're doing well....been awhile since I've replied to one of your vids......I was listening to your intro about your workshops before the actual upload begins.....not sure if you know already or not, but when you are saying the website, you say ww. and not www. I had to go back and relisten. If you know already, sorry for repeating...if not, then you know about it.
@@coyoteblue4027 I have seen his sketch books that have notes like flying machines based on the Archimedes screw principle. If you have such a notebook I will be very interested in reading it. Cheers.
What kind of advice is that? Paint is a tool if you don't know how to use it, it won't work - if you are using Old -Holand on a Bob Ross painting you are going to have a lot of fun - most beginners fail because they are not using the paint the artist in the tutorial is using - personaly I think that one of the best tutorials for starters is Draw Mix Paint - best information for free (you can substitute the paint with any good brand like Gambin or Michael Harding and Bob Ross paint ) - followed by Florent Farges ( use Rembrant or Winsor Newton artist brand )- and a special tip for the absolute beginner try Herdin Radke ( use any Artist brand paint do not use student quality paint ) - is I think Austrian or German but mostly self-explaining. And for those who like Bob Ross use his paints -( you can substitute with Winsor Newton Winton) - Bob Ross paint is made especially for wet in wet and is a heavily pigmented paint of good quality the only drawback is not many colors.
How could Leonardo listen to any kind of music while he painted unless he hired an orchestra, especially Bach and Haydn who had not even been born when da Vinci painted? Correcting painting sketches is why pre impressionist artists preferred to work on oil primed canvas which they could then tint with iron oxide or burnt sienna. They would then wipe out the highlights and enhance the shadows with ultramarine blue.
Thank you for your videos. I watch them multiple times because I do not get everything at the first time. "Look at the mess" is my favorite this time. Thank you. Greetings from Slovakia.
Awesome! Not bailing out even through I'm 75! Love to learn and keep on growing! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
When you said, there's no colour, no format that's when I bailed out. I'm 70 retired and learning to paint. It's not the channel for me i'm afraid. I won't live long enough to learn or grasp that concept. I paint kittens for my granddaughter ...that is enough.
I paint dachshunds 😄 they are more illustrations than realistic. But they are fun. I did some cans in the grass for a friend that redeems cans. It came out decent. I did it to do something more adventurous to what I’ve been doing.

That said, I'm living as a human in a time when there is some kind of sickness of competition and greed. But there are SOME of us who are still good. SO thank you again for your encouragement and caring. It really is people like you and I that will save our selves and each other. ALOHA.. Michelle
Thanks
Might I ask which brand of Asphaltum you use? I've notice different brands use different pigments, and was wondering if there is one you prefer? Thank you!

@@StefanBaumann Thank you!
Also, your dancing, varied dynamic brushstrokes when you were making the background music comments were superb, why did they get buried under these uniform ticks and edge-touching, symmetrical triangles? Keep them, add color radiating edges around them!
are we there yet ?
You're amazing teacher stefan I've become a better artist with this channel I wish I could be in your class or go on one of the trips with you
Thanks for another great video Stefan. I think there is a lot of practice between where I am now and the elegance and grace of your brush. In the meantime, I really appreciate the practical pointers to help me get there. Watching you paint is like watching a ballet unfold.
On another level, your work calls to mind Jordan Peterson's lectures on creating order out of chaos. You introduce a new level. As you say, the blank canvas is unlimited potential. Then you introduce deliberate chaos from which order can be extracted. Peterson doesn't go there. . .yet ;) As you limit the potential in the establishment of masses, you also refine and target the message. That is the establishment of order toward your objective. . . step 1 of your 12 points, concept. Well, I need to let these thoughts percolate which gives me time to practice as I work these things out. I'm looking forward to your next video.
drive way, roads asphalt ?
I started seeing the image on the page/canvas just recently and try and just put it where it already is...
Can we do oil on paper
You are mistaken that no one was using Maroger medium 40 years ago. I learned to make it at the art students league in New York from Frank Masonic 1971. He learned it from his instructor, Frank DuMond. It’s been passed down for centuries.
I SAID THAT most artists did not even know about it. The point is that it was made hundreds of years ago, I know that but it was not widely used... Please be smart and get that 40 years ago few people know about it remember that the internet was not invented yet!

it is not detailed, just the general idea of what will be there?
2 awesome artist pals told me never to use pure white out of the tube. I dunno if you have addressed that before, any comments appreciated from anyone here...
Who makes asphaltam(sp)?
Gamblin
CORRECTION FOR STATEMENT BELOW, In the second instance of the word "FAVORITE", I misspled it with an (o) instead of an (a). Sorry.
This is one of my favorite videos and I need to watch it several more times. Is there any chance you can do more at different stages of paintings? I don't want to copy your style, but to learn the process of building color and light to create the effects. I've only been using ultramarine blue, but now, I suppose I'll start experimenting with cobalt blue to see what I can create with it. More adventure awaits!
Di Vinci was long dead before, Mozart, Brahms or Bach were even born, by like 150 years. Time travel jet lag? But get your point about painting with classical music 🥰😍
like the pirate's code, guidelines !
I've been watching your videos for a few years now and I'm so surprised to see you do a painting demonstration! I am enjoying it. However, you've said in the past that you don't do painting demonstrations. Why the change?
Because I did. BTW there are demos on me painting in the national parks on my station 20 of them, Check them out !
Sorry for the incorrect spelling ( thanks spell check ). The instructor at ASL was Frank Mason.

they did not do it like melting chocolate?
put it in a pot, put the pot in boiling water ?
Wonderful work, love watching your videos while I paint. Can you do a video on framing your art? How do you feel about using high quality vintage or restored antique wood frames? Or should one only use gallery wrapped frames assuming they may be more desired by art collectors and not frame?
I so appreciate your videos and deep well of knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing so selflessly. I hope to see you at a show in the Bay area someday. Maybe I can acquire an original!
I would love to have one of my paintings in your collection
The moose painting behind Stefan is called "Does my bum look big in this?" :D
Substitute perlyene red for crimson
Did I understand you to say prime your canvas with liquid?
I think he said Liquin. It's a painting medium.
Its are to see what you are painting due to the oil painting being filmed blurry. May I say your back was nice and clear.
Oops! Sent it too fast. It weighed 5 pounds alone which was more than I could handle with 4 to 5 pounds more of supplies. It’s more than I can carry with my weak neck and shoulders. What I came up with was putting a plastic shoebox in the bottom of a 30 L Walmart Outdoors brand backpack. I’ve had this backpack probably four years now and it has survived going to several different tropical countries. Now it won’t fall over! I have a backpack I can carry with a hard bottom, three smaller pockets for smaller things and two net pockets on the outside. I carry my small Strada easel, turpnoid in a steel brush washer, five or six paint tubes, brushes in a cloth holder, small sketchbook, some canvas panels or canvas paper mounted on foam core and my iPad and weighs maybe 7 to 8 pounds, which I can handle. I will carry my tripod around my hips. Voila!

remember when using black was tabboo,
screw it ! use it if painting needs it ,
but 12lb, prep canvas with it.
❤❤❤❤
Mr. Baumann ... How are you painting in a hundred thousand dollar outfit ? The leather vest is more valuable than me future !
Maybe buy some new future

so it is digital cameras that started this CRT thing,
bad camera, bad, no titanium white for you.
Stefan, I hope you're doing well....been awhile since I've replied to one of your vids......I was listening to your intro about your workshops before the actual upload begins.....not sure if you know already or not, but when you are saying the website, you say ww. and not www. I had to go back and relisten. If you know already, sorry for repeating...if not, then you know about it.
Thanks for sharing your skills. I am painting on TH-cam also 🎨
"Da Vinci liked Bach and Haydn"- and nobody laughed...
Well they didn't know he was a time traveller!
@@pauldrake1858 have you seen his notebooks? Definitely a timetraveller
@@coyoteblue4027 I have seen his sketch books that have notes like flying machines based on the Archimedes screw principle. If you have such a notebook I will be very interested in reading it. Cheers.
@@pauldrake1858 loool why on EARTH would I have one of Leonardo DaVinci's notebooks? I was making a joke, mate.
@@coyoteblue4027 LOL, Sorry I meant a reproduction of some sort. Cheers

looks nothing like mount Rushmore !
this was made on imovie
Maroc 👍👍👍👍👍
this guy looks like he just stepped off the set of xena warrior princess
So what's is wrong with that?
@@StefanBaumann nothing bad my friend, but you should try painting with a claymore
Who are the nincompoops who dislike this video, lol?
What kind of advice is that? Paint is a tool if you don't know how to use it, it won't work - if you are using Old -Holand on a Bob Ross painting you are going to have a lot of fun - most beginners fail because they are not using the paint the artist in the tutorial is using - personaly I think that one of the best tutorials for starters is Draw Mix Paint - best information for free (you can substitute the paint with any good brand like Gambin or Michael Harding and Bob Ross paint ) - followed by Florent Farges ( use Rembrant or Winsor Newton artist brand )- and a special tip for the absolute beginner try Herdin Radke ( use any Artist brand paint do not use student quality paint ) - is I think Austrian or German but mostly self-explaining. And for those who like Bob Ross use his paints -( you can substitute with Winsor Newton Winton) - Bob Ross paint is made especially for wet in wet and is a heavily pigmented paint of good quality the only drawback is not many colors.
Would love a live stream... Would pay for live streaming...
How could Leonardo listen to any kind of music while he painted unless he hired an orchestra, especially Bach and Haydn who had not even been born when da Vinci painted? Correcting painting sketches is why pre impressionist artists preferred to work on oil primed canvas which they could then tint with iron oxide or burnt sienna. They would then wipe out the highlights and enhance the shadows with ultramarine blue.
He had a DVD>>>>HAHA not an orchestra maybe a flute player or two
Somehow I don‘t think that Da Vinci listened to Bachs music 🙄
Somhow I think you miss the point! are you always looking to find flaw, or are you always inspired about thought?
What is the original name of this Mt.? You have a way of " westernizing " every name.
What do you think it is?
