The Grand View

Extraordinary Opportunities to Improve Your Painting!

Curious Bear, 12" x 18" oil on canvas board. Painting by Stefan Baumann. This painting of "Curious Bear" was a bear that visited our camp from time to time in Teton National Park. This bear #56 was loved by campers because of this curious nature toward camp visitors. This bear never caused any problems and would still be alive were it not for a hunter who just shot an elk. The curious bear wandered over to see what was happening. The hunter shot the bear because he thought the bear might help himself to the kill. Not all hunters are smart.

NEW !! Oil Painting Haven

Hey friends,
I’m starting an Oil Painting Haven—and this is different. It’s not just another how-to site or video library. Sure, you’ll get weekly live paint-alongs, step-by-step technique videos, and gentle feedback… but the real magic? It’s me—Stephen Baumann—right there in the room with you. Not behind a screen, not just dropping videos. I’m in the chat, I’m in the live session, I’m the first one to say ‘nice shadow’ or ‘try more ochre.’

We’re building a real community from the ground up—think country-club easel club. You’ll stay for the friends. For the wine in chat after we paint. For the late-night ‘what the heck do I do with this green?’

You’re not joining a course. You’re joining me—and all of us.

First twenty people: $27 a month for three months. Regular $37 after.

One spot. One price. One circle.

Grab your spot → Let’s paint. Let’s talk. Let’s make this ours.
