Bill Alexander paints an old, overgrown homestead. Watch him as he creates this scene from memories past.
Oil Colors: Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow, Permanent Red, Alizarin Crimson, Sap Green, Prussian Blue, Ivory Black.
He was much more than just Bob Ross’ inspirational and technical master. He was a talented, fascinating, fun-loving, and spiritually-evolved individual in his own right; a great artist and a motivational pioneer, with a caring message.
And a bit of a Nazi too ;)
I could never imagine Ross and Bill painting together
"and here we have a happy little tree..."
"NOW FIRE IT IN"
Kianypour they did paint together
W.A TAUGHT B.R. the "wet on wet " style,B.R. RAN WITH IT!!
2 great artists with talent and personality. I love watching Bill & Bob😄
Alexander used to whoop on Ross
Alexander was his mentor. :3
I miss these days. Even though I was working 6 days a week, I always had a chance to watch him paint.
I don't have words to describe my appreciation to Mr. Alexander, the love he put in to the paints is contagious, Thank you Mr. Alexander, you inspired me.
He was a mighty man.
Both Ross and Bill are wonderful people!!
Bob Ross DID give Bill Alexander credit for teaching him how to paint. Bob could paint, just like me..I also paint, however to learn those techniques that Bill employed is what was needed to make GREAT paintings. WET on WET paintings have been around since the 15 century from what I read,but Bill did create the idea of priming the canvas first. The magic white on the canvas first. I think later JESSO came out and it was much improved and that is what Bob Ross used. They were BOTH brilliant painters. I can paint fairly good. I could always draw as a kid and so on. But it takes me HOURS to complete one painting like they do in 30 minutes. They are the masters for sure. Thanks to RUclips , we can watch them forever
this is the guy who taught bob ross so respect the master alexander
Kryptik Komatose yes
I do note some drastic differences between the two, though. Bill's paintings, from what i've seen, are often sharper and sometimes more detailed within the video's timeframe. But i think this is because he tends to work at his pace rather than the viewer's pace as Bob tended to. Bill is an incredibly adept painter, but Bob was able to teach it. Bill does a lot of explaining/talking as he creates, but Ross often will slow down or stop to show the exact brush movement he was making. They had different specialties, i think bill was better at creating/defining, but Bob was better at translating, and i think that's why Bob excelled with his tv series.
@@MrRickChase so true. Bill is fun to watch but Bob is definitely a more in depth instructor. Both are amazing artists.
Did Ross acknowledge Alexanders influence?
@@richardwright8189 "TV host and prolific painter Bob Ross studied under Alexander, from whom he learned his wet-on-wet technique, a method of painting rapidly using progressively thinner layers of oil paint. Ross dedicated the first episode of the second season of The Joy of Painting to Alexander, explaining that "Years ago, Bill taught me this fantastic technique, and I feel as though he gave me a precious gift, and I'd like to share that gift with you [the viewer]". As Ross's popularity grew, his relationship with Alexander became increasingly strained. In a 1991 interview with The New York Times, Alexander said of Ross, "He betrayed me. I invented 'wet on wet'. I trained him, and he is copying me -- what bothers me is not just that he betrayed me, but that he thinks he can do it better." -en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Alexander_(painter)
I love watching Bill on Alexander Art. He's so cool. He makes me smile a lot while he is creating his paintings.
Bill was a man who lived well. He made you believe in yourself. I could have a miserable day and one episode of The Magic Of Oil Painting would snap me out of it.
He is not gone, he is here teaching us. What a privilege!
What an incredibly talented man he was. He's been gone for so long but watching these videos brings me joy
Almighty Alexander is the best. I watched him all the time as a kid. I am now an almighty artist. I love you bro!
You should never e v e r say something like this. Other folks decide that. And folks who claim to be "almighty" regularly are just lying . . .
Love the way he described joyfully mixing his paint..."like a pig in manure". I wonder if Ross ever "borrowed" that line too.
I'll tell ya.... there's NO WAY , when I was watching this guy in the 70's on tv, did I EVER think I would , one day, be watching him , as a old fart myself, on my COMPUTER . Hahahaha A COMPUTER! Yeah, that thing that was as big as a house back in the day hahaha and he was SO old hahahaha. Who kbew?! 🤔
I will gladly sit through a full 1-minute commercial to watch these videos. Please keep uploading full episodes. Monetize them with ads at the beginning. We would still be very grateful.
I learned as a boy to paint and draw watching Mr. Alexander. Now I'm 47 and a desiger and love watching this channel and hearing, "almighty brush!"
I remember watching Bill back in the 80's. I really enjoyed him and Bob Ross
I love how he keeps lapsing into just muttering "Home on the Range" to himself
I watched this guy on PBS in the 1980's when we had only 7 TV channels. Bang! No mercy! Magic white! Almighty fan brush. Fire it in! It's that easy. Done.
Yep...it's not rocket science. You have to remember, though, Bill painted for over forty years before he became a television celebrity. It's not as easy as Bill shows but with practice and patience you can paint, we promise!
Im 12 and I like watching this! Bill inspired me to start painting!
I've said it on other uploads. Bob Ross got me into Wet on wet but Bill shows me the level I want to be at. This is how you paint a cabin!
Saludos desde Argentina, i like the houses...
When I was a kid this is how I would have loved to have painted. I loved architecture back in those days.
He's so fast!
He'd be able to whip these babies out in no time if he didn't have to explain everything he's doing.
Amazing!
This guys amazing
Love his enthusiasm and passion
I watched Bill Alexander's TV lessons so many years ago. Don't know why I searched his name today but it brings back good memories. I like his comments, such as "Fire in." He also used to say "very nice, very easy."
What an inspiration...Thank You Mr Alexander...Rest in Peace..
Thank you for taking the time to comment. ❤️
Used to love watching him. He was an inspiration and he is missed.
GreatGrandpa plenty more Bill on our website: alexanderart.com/
John Orban Thanks
I love his painting, I love how he teaches, encourages me....oh, but I also love that he TRULY understood, appreciated and spoke of how fortunate he was (& we ARE) to live freedom in the US!!
This was fantastic. I love Bill Alexander. And he can sing too!
Some people will never be forgotten because of the gift they were to this world and Mr. Alexander and also Mr. Ross will never be forgotten because they made our world a better place. I miss them both dearly and am grateful I lived in the time of these great men.
Bob Ross learned this technique and changed it up to make his variant.
Bob's style is very photorealistic, Bill's is more in the style of the old masters.
I love them both. Bob's getting me back into painting but I'm hoping I can get back to Bill's style. I love impressionist painters. Bob's buildings are more simplistic while Bill's seem to have more realism. Both men are reminding me the most important part of painting is to have fun!😄
I prefer Alexander's paintings! He's very talented and lovely.
Childhood memories...never missed an episode. So fun.
Same. He was on and then The Galloping Gourmet came after, a cooking show. Art and cooking, I was glued to the tube. Hahaha
I had forgotten about this wonderful man..He was the first to paint with the two inch brush's..I learned his cabins way back when..lol still love this man.hope he's still around and painting clouds.:)
Love his sweet accent. Very beautiful paintings.
I love this fun little man!
Thanks so much! I love the marbling effect you do on the roof. I always felt like I was missing something until I began oil painting.
I can watch/listen to this guy ALL DAY!
Thank you for the inspiration... Beautiful work!
Ah, those sunny days of my youth, when the sun would peek out from behind the sun!
Love watching you paint! You have so much fun with it!
big big, and lot of love for you sir. Alexander, love u
Bill's catchphrase, “You can paint it any way you like!” :)
kxmode - and “Tanks for vatching me!”
These take my breath away. Partly because Bill Anderson is very gifted and the love in his heart spills over to me. This love makes me have the desire to paint. I believe I CAN paint. Somehow, I know I WILL paint. His video makes me happy just to watch him. His video makes me hopeful. Blessings to you Bill Anderson. You are passing on God’s gifts that he bestowed upon you. Thank you.
His last name is Alexander not Anderson
what a charming old eccentric he must have been.
Alexander raises painting to a whole higher level compared to Ross.
It's great to watch the man who inspired the master! After much watching, I am inspired to "give it a go".
Please post more of Bills videos I am just learning about Bill. I wish I have heard of him before. Wayne
Working on it. Stay tuned…
Mad respect for him because he created a legend who makes happy little trees.
i just love the old ramshackle shack look........one thing perhaps missing,,,.....some crows in the sky,,,flying em'ss
i love the singing too.......very good....thanks
You are rocking master
Much love for you and your paintings.❤
Fantastic to watch , just a Cabin out in the wilds and WOW , Bill just conjures up this wonderful tutorial like a ray of sunshine . You can only feel inspired to do a painting after watching Bill . This is awesome and thank you so much for sharing . I'm going to watch more of his videos , excellent .
You are SO AWESOME Bill...I love watching you paint and sing too😄
Thank you for this painting. I paint in Acrylics because Oils trigger migraine headaches in me.
I can use the same techniques in painting as you did here with the brushes.
It's so great to see how much fun you have when you paint, good for you!!!
I hate to break it to you but...
Born: April 2, 1915, East Prussia
Died: January 24, 1997, Powell River, British Columbia, Canada
He actually outlived his protege Bob Ross whom I would also suggest by three years despite his show airing much earlier
Thank you Alexander
Thanks Bill ! Now I got that song stuck in my head! Lol
I'm enjoying watching him. Thank you sir
Bill was just as much of a wordsmith as he was a painter
I enjoyed that very much. Masterfully done. ❤
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for being here 😊
WOWwwwwwww this guy is NICE. I love this painting.
Wow, I wish I can do something like this with a Autumn Look to it.
Yes Sir I most certainly enjoyed , such beauty that you paint with such ease and the stories are so interesting thank you for sharing 🌺
Was just thinking there should be a bill playlist on Spotify for all the songs he sings
great.. great.. great !!! i usually wonder in your beauty streets and have the wine of colours.
Is this man still around? I miss him. I started painting since 2015 because of him. He inspired me in the beginning. So fun and full of nostalgic feeling watching his arts.
Reyna HeriChan only in our hearts and on our screens. Bill passed away in 1997 but he continues to inspire people through the legacy he left behind. So glad he touched your life as well.
@@AAlexanderArt Oh i'm so sorry. I just came back to see painting videos again and i remember this man's video of Homestead who first brought me into this hobby in 2015 when i became so desperate after had a miscarriage. Palette knife is the first tool I ever had... 😁 After i asked that, i checked Wikipedia and i just found out that he passed away in 1997. O my God, im sorry. He surely was one of those shooting stars and i will live his afterglow for a long time.
Bill Alexander is Obi-Wan Kenobi Bob Ross would be a young Anakin Skywalker
Dale Holbert 😂 yes
In terms of roles, yes. But in terms of their styles, it is exactly the opposite. Obi-Wan was thoughtful and methodical like Bob, while Skywalker was emotional and reckless like Bill. Bob's paintings seem calm and precise, while Bill's paintings are edgy and inexact. At least that is the way I react to them.
NO MERCY, Mr. Alexander!
Home home on the range great episode
Really nice 👍 great technique. I'm going to try some of these
Браво, 👏 прекрасная живопись💖💖💖💖💖
I love Ross and his voice is amazing but this guy is a much better painter lol I often found Bob Ross paintings a little child-like and their execution
Great painter, great stuff.
Dear professor, u're amazing, fantastic, wonderful so sympathic too
u're magic to sum up u're too much
I'm in admiration toward your person and your immense talent
Are u sure u don't come from an other planet, an artistic one?
Big keeses to u
No Mercy fire it in ! Amazing and much more offensive as the happy little clouds or the whispers of Bob Ross but both were
so blessed may They Paint and fire the happy clouds in God's Paintings ;)
May God bless William Alexander. :)
Très beau je trouve une belle profondeur les petites maisons vielles je les trouve adorable merci💖
Beautiful and enjoyed. Great work
I like this guy does beautiful work I think I can learn from him a great deal however I must say Bob Ross is a better teacher in regards to what brushes he's using and colors
MrKrenath
I feel like Bill is more direct than Bob about technique.
fred, Bill Alexander taught Bob Ross how to paint
Bill is a better painter, Bob is a better teacher, and Bill actually seems more talented.
Yes, he did.
This is just like watching Bob Ross.
Oops, I forgot to finish.
This is just like watching Bob Ross, only about 100 times better.
All jail master Alexander the legend that teaches legends
I like how he says what and where hes gonna paint while Bob Ross just paints where and what without telling us where its goin hes just pointing and sometimes he changes his mind also no hate dont say any thing if ur not gonna say nice things 😊😊
Yes I enjoyed actually it was so much fun watching and also listening to you while you paint so beautifully 🌺
Mr Alexander definitely was better at Bob Ross because Ross was a repetitive painter if you check his art every time he made the same tree same mountain same water etc an the trick was used for him was combined deterrent together on each work but Mr Alexander was an authentic creator
Beautiful work.
Congratulations. Great job. I did enjoy.
Very talented man!
So talented! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm still a bit reluctant to leave my comfortable acryllic zone , but my-oh-my , Sir William surely feeds my desire to give Oil a chance .
He teaches so much more than just the painting . He sprinkles His positivity and life experience throughout his chats as well . One more reason to cherish this Phthalo Gold Man .
Sad though that he painted over the ghostly white deer that lived from 23:05 till 25:50
I love the texture of oils unfortunately I share a small apartment so I can't leave paintings around to dry which is why I switched to acrylics. That & the smell of paint thinner lol!😄
I Love this guy!!
Este é um verdadeiro artista. Acompanho quase todos os seus trabalhos. Fico fascinado. Me esforço para pelo menos chegar perto do que você faz.
I love watching Bill and Bob paint, but I never like the implementation of doors or windows, but I know, I can do it may way
I like how he's paint this house with love , so... beautifull home on the ranch , ... :)
now i see the different Bob Use to much paint to draw a house
So beautiful ❤
Beautiful !
I love watching this man,,is he still living,?
The doors have long since fell off those old shacks eh...I also noticed he used Phthalo Blue on the windows which was suppose to be Phthalo Green. =)
You’re amazing and I love your personality!
C'est très jolie ! J'aime bien les maisons .
You are great.
@alexanderart could you post up additonal youtube videos of paintings that Bill did please? i see there are lots of images on the internet of his paintings, but i love his character and commentary whilst he constructs his paintings... thanks!!! #hooommme on the raaaaanch# :D
We have hundreds of Bill's paintings on our website. alexanderart.com/portfolio-type/bill-alexander/
Absolutely the best, funny, informative and a real master. I am so glad to have found Bill. One thing though, what is magic white?
alexanderart.com/story-magic-white/
Thinner white paint..do not mix with Gesso.. thin white paint down or buy magic white.
I remember this painting from the book...
