Painting and Travel with Roger and Sarah Bansemer
Painting and Travel is an educational television show produced by Roger and Sarah Bansemer. It is broadcast primarily on PBS channels. A typical episode begins with Sarah narrating a video tour of the filming location, which is chosen for its scenic or historic interest. The video tour ends with an introduction to Roger's painting project for the episode. Roger then demonstrates the painting process and teaches painting principles as he does so. His painting demonstration is usually interrupted by Sarah interviewing someone in the area. Most of the paintings are seascapes and rural scenes. Roger paints in acrylics and oils, in the impressionist style. All episodes are 30 minutes in length.
