I would love for someone to edit together all of Bill's philosophical speeches (during which he stops painting and looks at the camera) into one long video.
I adore this man with all my heart...he is gone but never forgotten. To me he is the true master of his craft, a mighty teacher, a lover of life. and in my heart.
Relax people despite the enslaving peaceful soul Bob had more so than anyone ever to pickup a paint brush would be nothing without bill literally he gave him everything there somewhere painting a dream to joy of art thanks for everything Bill & Bob
Why couldn't my art teachers in college relate this way to those of us learning from them. Bill was simply brilliant as an art teacher. He also taught life lessons at the same time. I so wish I could have met bill in my early years.
17:43 "He's painting all kinds of chicken foots and whatever" HAHAHAHAHHAHA Bill hadn't seen NUTHIN yet! Imagine if he knew what was passing for art in 2024.
To be honest, without Bob i would have never dicoverd Bill. That´s a bit sad, because here in Austria we only had Bob on TV! I´m not huge fan of most things the internet brought to us, but RUclips is very good in some way. And now i already like Bill a bit more than Bob. For my taste he is a way better painter (Not that Bob is bad!!!) and his charakter seems to be so true and not played like Bob Ross for sure did a bit ;-) But both where beyond great artists and teachers! (I hope my english is not to bad... ;-) )
I always lived ur shows sir. U inspired me and the world is a sadder place without u...u can continue my lessons when we meet in the stars. What a canvas we shall have!
wisdom of a lifetime, how will you share it I believe he pours his heart out to us and i love him for that !! i used to be a lousy painter, and a novice listener!! glad to say my hearing has improved!!!
Good Day Mr. Alexander. I’ve seen ur mountains in Europe! The Alps are breath taking! The Matterhorn is stunning! But so many beautiful valleys, villages, lakes etc. I loved my time in Europe. But I was also there before dumb tourist ruined it. No I wasn’t a tourist! My father was a Captain in the infantry! Mnt. Blanc is also stunning!
Bills company told ross he was retiring so i dont know how everyone think ross stole from bill they also couldnt keep up with the supplys so ross started his own he didnt steal
He copied his designs for magic white and the knives the day Bill heard that bon copied magic white he cried and never spoke to or about him again. He had planned for bon to take over his company one day not be a competition
@@drezdogge Bob went on his own starting in the fall of 1985 [series 7] a few months after he signed a deal with Martin f Weber art supplies [in addition to forming Bob Ross Inc & leaving Bill’s company]
As an artist Bill Alexander was infinitely more talented than his plagiarist student Bob Ross.. Bills art speaks to my soul, Bobs paintings were more like cartoon backdrops to me..
bob didn't plagiarize bill...it wasn't bill's technique, people have been painting that way for hundreds of years, and bob's popularity had nothing to do with painting...people watched bob to relax and de stress, bob was unique...bill was a better painter but he was loud, agressive, intense...total oppsite of bob ross....bob could of had a cooking show or a woodworking show and been just as popular.
@@westoftherockies alla prima was around for 100s of years but NOT Bill's use of his magic white to mix directly on the canvas. Bill with the help of a Canadian chemist created magic white. Bob stole it, as he did with Bill's patented pallette knife.
Bob: Thank you for teaching me, now I am going to steal all your crap and make more money with it than you did. Bill: Isn't dat wunderval. I teach you. Now you can take dat aaalmighty...wait wutt?
@@Man-jf6lz Welllll, it IS a business, and sadly for Bill, Bob was the better package for the producers and viewers of mainstream public television. (Bob used to joke about his "mean director"... no director I know would have let Bill let fly with his off-the-wall "rant" about abstract art in his broken English.) An Unfortunate S(h)ituation? Yeah -- but at least those who appreciate either artist (or both) can have the benefit of their expertise. RIP Bill AND Bob.
I never cared for Bob at all. Ever. Never watched him past one attempt. The later I learn of Bill's disdain for the fellow. So I simply won't ever have any fondness for Mr. Ross. Loved Bill's work since a child and now that I've attempted his techniques I love it even more. Thank you Mr. Alexander.
ac5015 I agree, but Bob really hurt and then pissed Alexander off. Bill told us that he did Not invent wet on wet...it was created in the 16th century by the masters. He’s just using today’s cheap and easily accessed materials. Bob just wanted to steal Bill’s thunder. Did u know that Bob also stole some of Bills vernacular? “Happy happy clouds” etc.

I just love Bill stories. What a magnificent artist and storyteller . ❤ .
I love it when Bill talks a lot . He just cares , That's a beautiful thing . ❤
Light on light is nothing... no wiser words ever spoken 💜

Life’s lessons and beautiful art! This is the most beautiful mountain painting that I’ve ever seen! Thank you Bill!
Thank you AGAIN! This world needs more Bill’s! So nice!

Great that he's talking about using color using a limited palette. It's a lot better to learn that way.
True -- I still have hundreds (!) of tubes of paint that I will never use, because I didn't learn that lessson soon enough. :-/

I love it when bill sings lol
Thanks Bill.

Bob was a painter, Bill is an Artist!
Very well said!
Bill is so heartfelt...
I wish he was still here,I’d give him a big hug.What a wonderful man.❤️❤️❤️❤️
wisdom of a lifetime, how will you share it I believe he pours his heart out to us and i love him for that !! i used to be a lousy painter, and a novice listener!! glad to say my hearing has improved!!!
That was cute. Hearing improved.
Enjoyed that
Bob Ross’s great teacher
Bob Ross: The man you watch to fall asleep. Bill Alexander: The man you watch to dream!
I think this may be my favorite painting and love the lesson..! ❤😊
I'd like to think that the rainbow distortions in the video tape are from the energy in him... Like the force is definitely with him.
Used the bare minimum to create greatness.
His complaint about breathing is a case of undiagnosed sleep apnea I'd say. Back when this was made the malady was rarely diagnosed.
The blue is so soothing in the face of this majestic and violent ugliness that it's almost obscene.
Damn powerful painting. I feel all sorts of things
Just a joy to watch and listen to, Love him!
You are wonderfull!!!
Only Bill in this world that’s worth of paying❤️
Absolutely love what he said about modern art I've been saying that forever 💜
Thanks so much for video XX from Wales UK.
1:55 California forest fire! FIRE in!!!!
One of my favourites .and only took him 20mins or less.
The color combination is marvellous. :-)
Thanks for the video! I wish that I would have watched Bill and Bob when I was younger.
Fire in almighty!!!!!!
Me entretengo mucho viendo los videos de Alexander... Además de que pinta como los dioses.. hermosos sus obras.. GRACIAS por compartir

beautiful paitting🎨👍
Bill Alexander deserves to be rediscovered. I'm a Bob Ross fan but Alexander is at least as good and quite different.
Start with Bob and watch Bill to take you to the next level.
Bill was the guy who taught Bob Ross the wet-on-wet technique to begin with!
Bills company told ross he was retiring so i dont know how everyone think ross stole from bill they also couldnt keep up with the supplys so ross started his own he didnt steal
Yeah, they were friends, he handed over the ALMIGHTY BRUSH HIMSELF! so he had permission too
Bill returned to tv [part-time] around 1986 with the “Art of William Alexander” so I don’t think he completely retired
He copied his designs for magic white and the knives the day Bill heard that bon copied magic white he cried and never spoke to or about him again. He had planned for bon to take over his company one day not be a competition
@@drezdogge Bob went on his own starting in the fall of 1985 [series 7] a few months after he signed a deal with Martin f Weber art supplies [in addition to forming Bob Ross Inc & leaving Bill’s company]
@@danielruggiero5230 he was happy that Bob had his own show but hurt that Bob used the platform to compete with his supplies
I love this guy!!!!!
Fantastico, grazie di tutto!
MAGNIFICO! AMEI!!!!!
"I have spoken" 21:48
Superb
Painting ends at 14:58. After that it is all talk.
I don't know if your complaining or not?

Still watching
Wish Bill Alexander and Bob Ross could have patched up there differences before they passed away.
Bob: Thank you for teaching me, now I am going to steal all your crap and make more money with it than you did.
Bill: Isn't dat wunderval. I teach you. Now you can take dat aaalmighty...wait wutt?
Bill tought him he said he was by far the greatest the reason he had picked up a brush and learned to never let it go

Both Bill and bob died of lymphoma. Just some facts
Sometimes I wonder if it was the materials they were using that contributed to the cancer :-(
He talks SOOOOO much.
That's the part we love. He had a lot of wisdom to go along with those fantastic paintings.
