Bill had the ability to look at something and put it on the canvas. It is the sign of a true artist. It is a gift we all may have. You can paint. It is a great promise.
@@seancrippen2167I am afraid to say that Bob Ross’s old partner Annette Kowalski’s has ALL…. the copyright to BR Incorporation foundation. I truly believe that the man was totally TURNED OVER shortly before he died. But, but Bob Ross was a Plagiarist when it comes to painting he completely copied Bill Alexander technique and I have NEVER purchased a BR piece of equipment since
Jason! I have been painting for about 3 years. Back then, I did not know of Bill and I a never able to find full length Bob Ross videos online. So I watched your set on wet lessons. I have been selling paintings for about 2.5 years now. Would love to paint with you someday, but you are accrossed the pond in the UK and me in the USA. But thanks for your videos also!
I wish I’d discovered Bill Alexander sooner. I like both Bill and Bob . Bob laid back style & Bill with his aggressive style. I prefer Bills style and enthusiasm.👍
Amazing. It looks like the candle is actually emitting some light. This is art. Not the modern abstract bullcrap you can't barely identify! There is barely anything more mesmerizing, than watching a true master doing his work. That goes not only for painting.
love Bills energy !!! and fire it into the painting !!!! and to know he constantly deals with insecurities but attacks them with what he knows works in his art !!! Its my next adventure !!!
Awesome, what I love most about Bill Alexander is the fact that even though he does a lot of landscape paintings, he does still lifes as well and flowers.
19:00, what a relief when he did that. I was getting worried about the candle floating in mid air lol. Beautiful, simple painting, I love the textures.
Found this guy after reading Bob Ross biography. I wish he and Ross could have lived forever, so that we can continue to see them today. Lovely, wonderful, inspiring people. Hopefully they are painting in heaven; the colours there are magnificent.
Probably my very favorite of his many brilliant lessons.... His emotion is palpable and his technique for imbuing our art with our sentiments is superb. Thank you for continuing to share his uplifting and inspiring contributions to humanity thru these priceless art lessons. ♥️ Did he ever do a version of this candle in a different color scheme than red?
Interestingly, we found, buried in our archives, about 150 color transparencies of some of Bill's paintings - many done in the 1960's and 1970's. There were at least two dozen paintings similar to this one, but with much more detail. It was clear Bill was experimenting with painting light and shadow. You can see his technique develop from one painting to the next. They were all done with the red color scheme. I wish we could post photos in the comments so I could show you some of them. We are still working on them. We'll post them on our website when we have them all scanned and categorized (alexanderart.com).
Susan Bishop I agree, when I learned the secret of the Black Canvas, I enjoyed painting on one. It's really cool how the colors pop right out using oil paints. 😉
Thank you Bill! I have shaky hands with detail & rest my pinky on paper & canvas board. When you're standing at the "Almighty easel" it would be difficult. My lesson learned for today😉!!
Bill only painted in oils. And yes, he warned against mixing yellow and blue to create green. He shows how to avoid that problem in one of his other videos.
I have just discovered this guy called Bill Alexander and I have studied the wet on wet technique but My Goodness this painting is just out of this world. R.I.P. Bill Alexander (it’s this year that is Bill’s 25th year since God called him)
My goodness. I was sitting here watching you and I certainly wasn't saying...Oh my gosh what is he doing......I was saying Oh my goodness...he is such a great artist....You really paint very well...Love your work and most of all I love the way you talk to us...the way you teach is Fantastic...I am working on this painting myself now and hope to get it done well as I have you for my teacher. I thank you.!
Dear. Alexender your candle is very beautiful made with the love of the art and your great talent of painter and overall your humour yes your great humour
Dear sir for you it might be a very simple painting but I got along with you and I painted something awfully absurd.but this is what you have given me.and you know what Inspiration.
Bill is so excited & silly at times, he makes me smile. Bob is so soothing, personal, & I love his stories...he makes me smile. What a great pair of artists!
This is very interesting to watch... and also I will be painting on a black canvas using Alizarin Crimson and it is good to know that it will show up on the canvas just fine
The thing about Bill Alexander's paintings, is you just never know how it will be at the end. He painted from his head and he added more if he had the time on his show. Sometimes he had to leave things out that he wanted to add but 27 minutes just wasn't long enough. Thanks for watching!

This painting is such a beauty and would fit in a room that is dark and candlelit.
A painting like this shows the actual distance between Bill Alexander and Bob Ross. Mr. Alexander a true artist in my opinion
both are good
Both are
According to Bob he intentionally did not do his best painting on TV. Something about making it easier for his son to carry on after him.

@@jaja8951wet-on-wet wasn’t invented by Bill either 😂 Wet-on-wet was used by the Old Masters - it’s nothing new
Brilliant, he is such a great teacher I feel like I want to bounce some light around a painting now. :)

Your Light as your Art, forever will be with us.
Thanks Mr. Alexander for sharing this great tutorial.

Thank you for your comments. We are glad you found Bill now!

So much enjoyment, this will change the way I paint, he literally sculpts with paint. Love it.
Wonderful! Thank you for your comment.

He is just beyond amazing. As he puts paint down I think...what is he doing? And then you see the result. He was a magician and I LOVE this painting.

Sativa vs indica
oh wow ...
I love this man.
That was very interesting - I hope I'm able to translate this to acrylics!
Susan Hooper if you translate to acrylic it is best to use a medium that will slow the drying process down considerably.
@@moonbubbles3046 Thank you for responding - I did a nice rendition in acrylics that I am pleased with.
Beautiful painting
