Critique Artist for 2025: Stefan Baumann
Stefan Baumann is an acclaimed landscape and wildlife artist who paints in oils on location and from his studio at the Grand View Ranch in Mount Shasta, California. He studied art and architectural history at Stanford University and art and painting at the San Francisco Academy of Art University. While still in college, he began Baumann Fine Art, a business enterprise that promoted landscape painting. He has been an artist and is an oil painting instructor for the past 35 years and has taught the fine art of oil painting to enthusiastic art students in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as in Southern Oregon, and in Northern California. Stefan Baumann believes that “Anyone can learn how to paint; all it takes is desire.”
