Thank you again, please keep posting, his videos are energetic and inspirational. I watched him as a very young person, and miss being able to see him paint. I had learned so much. He makes painting so much fun!
Added to favourites. I really like how this style makes the most power of the dark/light equation. Beautiful. Simplicity is often the most beautiful, just as in nature.
Bill is so great! His authenticity and passion for life and painting is remarkable. I grew up watching Bob Ross and I think I've seen every episode of his multiple times, but now seeing Bill, I realize he is the original source of the persona Bob grew into. Not just in painting, but in the entire worldview and philosophy he brought along with it. Bill thought it would be beautiful to leave something behind in the world, and these videos being made available here are part of that legacy he hoped for! :)
nah, the persona bob grew into came from bill? they're the complete opposite.. bill is agressive, loud, intense, bob is nothing like that....bill is a much better painter but bob's show really isn't about painting, bob helps people relax, watching bob is like taking tranquilizers, bob's personality, soft talking, easygoing, mellow etc, thats what made bob ross a legend on tv, most people didn't watch him to learn to paint.
@@westoftherockies Their outward energy is different, but the way they saw the beauty of life and nature, and how it connected to painting, had a lot of similarities. If you watch Bob's first episodes, he used a lot of Bill's catchphrases too. Bill was the yin to Bob's yang, IMO.
Thanks for a really wonderful sunset painting from Bill. Thanks Laurie and Dawn. What a stunning privilege you had, to know Bill Alexander, and to work with him...
Sorry to be off topic but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Bennett Tommy Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I really love watching you paint! Your works are amazing.. I wish to see you paint in person. I'm learning a lot in just watching you.... YOU HAVE A GOD GIVEN TALENT! Will watch your other videos again... Hope you could teach me enhance my painting skills, too. TAKE CARE!
He is a fantastic oil painter and a great human being. Very unfortunate he is no longer with us, but I enjoy his paintings and his pearls of wisdom as he paints. Thank You Bill!
Who would have ever thought from all the painters way back in the day, that a person can use a 3 inch house brush to create a masterpiece!!!! Lol. Indeed, that is truly.....the magic of oil painting !!!
Bill?! Are u listening? THAT IS EXQUISITE!!!! I'm quite certain that compared to where you are now sir, you don't want to come back to THIS dark world. You're painting with the angels now.
Bill lives on in the people who paint in his way. I revel in his view of living and life. For those that learn his way, he becomes our Poppa of Painting, he is a part of us, a part of our inner selves. Although he has passed on, our Poppa is never dead. He lives eterally
@@AAlexanderArt Thank YOU! Bill has been one of my heroes since the late '70s, not just in art but in attitude and outlook. An almighty man firing into his almighty life. Thank you for keeping his magic alive for us!
While I like watching Bob Ross his paintings never really carry any feeling of an emotion. Bill's work sometimes has a kind of moodiness to it. Much more emotion in his work.
This is so true. I'm an oil painter but I never tackled landscape painting. I decided this summer to start learning these unfamiliar techniques. I started with Bob Ross of course and eventually found my way to Bill Alexander and WOW..he adds his own personality and emotion to his art. When I'm watching and learning from Bob Ross, I just feel like I'm following a software tutorial. Not to say Bob was not an amazing and talented painter. There is just something about Bill that just doesn't come through with Bob.
Absolutely agree. I enjoy Bob Ross as well, but Bill’s paintings have so much more passion and expression to them. His personality is contagious and makes one feel inspired to create. I love this guy!
@@pidhajnyk bobs show isn't about painting, lol...bill is obviously a much better painter, but people were attracted to bob ross because of his personality and ability to help people relax, bill is loud, intense, agressive, bob is the complete opposite and people watch bob to relax, the vast majority aren't watching him to learn to paint...i've watched him my entire life, i'm not a painter, and i know a lot of people who know bob and have watched him and they're not into painting at all...their missions were totally different.
J' adore votre façon d expliquer..merci ..je suis débutante , pourtant pour la première fois ,mes tableaux commence à être ce que je souhaite qu ils reflète...merci encore . Juste une petite requête !! Serait il possible ...de traduire en francais ?! Merci
Bill you're a wonderful painter, and you taught Bob Ross well but unfortunately he couldn't copy the warmth and natural tones, even imitating your dialog didn't help. They are cartoon like in comparison. You are missed by MANY but these videos will keep your brilliant paintings and life lessons around for eternity to help us all blessed enough to watch.
I can't imagine why anyone would put themselves through the sheer torture of painting like this = why on earth start with a black canvas? What on earth is the point of that? HE could do this - he was a professional painter long before he invented this technique - but if you were starting to paint, I just don't think this is how you'd best learn. But - it has to be said: Alexander was SO much more professional, and so much a better painter, than Bob Ross.
The last 2 minutes were the best. I love this man's passion.
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful painting. I love his philosophy on life. We all need Bill in our lives right now!
Agreed Shavauna

Alexander and Ross both very gifted men . They compliment each other well. One certainly puts a smile on your face while the other is very calming .
Bob Ross learn from Bill Alexander
Grandioso Alexander!!!!!.... gracias por mostrar el desarrollo de ésta obra maravillosa!!!.. Desde Argentina, César, saludos.
This is my favorite painting Bob has made. I love his passion. He is telling everyone to try to be honest and happy a d be creative. A great man
Richard I’m sure you meant to say Bill! Thank you for your wonderful comments.
@@AAlexanderArt I'm sorry
Even after just doing the yellow sky you could call it finished. Beautiful!
Fantastic painting and wise words at the end. God bless you, Bill ❤

What an extraordinary artist and human being
So beautiful and passionate!

You probably are not aware that Bill passed away in 1995
@@duchessstudioband7896Bill Alexander passed away in 1997.
It was Bob Ross who passed away in 1995.
I absolutely adore this man. He was a gift to humanity.
He is a fantastic oil painter and a great human being. Very unfortunate he is no longer with us, but I enjoy his paintings and his pearls of wisdom as he paints. Thank You Bill!

Are there any videos of Bill doing portraits? I would love to see his style with that 3:11
Oh I wish we had a video of a bill doing portraits. Sorry we don’t.
RIP Bill,love you ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Complimenti!
Thanks, Bill.
I hate wapon too. You are brilliant guy and artist
A qué se refiere cuando dice barniz transparente???
what is the varnish he is using?
Either linseed oil liquid clear..
J' adore votre façon d expliquer..merci ..je suis débutante , pourtant pour la première fois ,mes tableaux commence à être ce que je souhaite qu ils reflète...merci encore .
Juste une petite requête !! Serait il possible ...de traduire en francais ?! Merci
thanks Alexander
Have a happy Tomorrow!
❤
You are a talented painter. I noticed on your video your knife reflects light into the camera if you put black paint on your knife it won't shine.
He can't hear you, he's dead.
Shaun Brady - Yep, don’t think he cares anymore.
This man melted your face with a psychedelic sunset painting After he was shot 3 times... Still, someone chimes in with a "pro-tip."
This man broke ground when connecting the human factor with the techniques we can learn with painting
Thank you for telling people that religion is good. Artists feel as if religion is beneath them. Your work endures indeed. "Have a happy tomorrow."
Who else is sheltering-in-place with Bill Alexander and Bob Ross?

T get rid of this
Why can I not get rid of this

Scusi il ritardo, ho scoperto ora ..la luce però è troppo scura, non si vedono i colori😢
Hey girl very good very good very good👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Nature is god, Bill is Bob. What the conclusion?
Celine Haya - I conclude that I am confused by this question.
Bill Alexander was a much better painter than Bob Ross.
חבל שאני לא מבינה, הוא נישמע מעניין, חבל...
I can't imagine why anyone would put themselves through the sheer torture of painting like this = why on earth start with a black canvas? What on earth is the point of that? HE could do this - he was a professional painter long before he invented this technique - but if you were starting to paint, I just don't think this is how you'd best learn. But - it has to be said: Alexander was SO much more professional, and so much a better painter, than Bob Ross.
Everyone's opinion is different. I think they both are professional and they both shine in their own way.
He talks SOOOOO much.
Bill you are very welcome to talk like that, beautiful video 😍👌
Hey girl very good very good very good👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
