This video is about how to create Composition Eye Movement and setting up a still life painting along with landscape oil painting and How to Create good composition using the elements light and shadow. How to use the effects of light, How to Apply the Golden Mean. How to oil paint and how to make a masterpiece using En Plein Air or Alla Prima. Plein air and alla prima artist Stefan Baumann, host of the PBS painting series “The Grand View, America’s National Park through the eyes of an artist” and author of “Observations Of Art and Nature,” travels in his vintage travel trailer painting America’s western landscape. Baumann paints outdoors with oils and canvas capturing stunning vistas, wildlife, western landscapes, National Parks and still life, thrilling art collectors throughout the world. He has many international collectors acquiring his paintings as investments. His painting style is called Romantic Realism with Luminism, and the extraordinary way he captures the effect of light is a truly American style used to paint the Western landscape. He can be seen plein air painting in Yellowstone, Yosemite and in the Grand Canyon. Baumann’s “how to paint” DVDs filmed on location in the National Parks are the very best on the market.

Great job teaching the content. So many things are clearer to me now. I am a beginning artist and have taken some classes but rarely do I get an explanation as to why you should do something. Really appreciate it.

This is such an excellent tutorial for some one as old as me. I will start painting again. I had a good teacher but shes not teaching and I gave up. Plus my eyes are bad but with this lesson I think I can do it. Thank you so much. I now must find a video of yours on perspective.
