I watched Bill on TV until they took it off the air, but I still kept drawing. Later in life I became a public school art teacher until I retired. Teaching and painting have brought me the greatest joy of my life, so thank you Mr. Alexander for the gift of your inspiration to me and to thousands more.
"I have spoken." -- Indeed! And -- Thank God! Love this old guy! Younger than me now! And I'm learning so much more now than I did years ago watching him on TV. God Bless him! And , Thank him for Bob Ross, different, but also great! We need more teachers like this today! Cheers, Amigos!
This means alot to me. I am from Nova Scotia and I remember watching Bill when I was younger. I have ptsd now and bill is one of the voices that calm me enough to sleep. Inspired me to try painting as well , lol. Thank you :)
Rest in peace! What a wonderful happy man and an amazing artist!!! I am still following him. Now I started oil I used to do acrylics and I will do one of his lesson for sure! So easy to follow him!
My first ever wet on wet painting in 2000 was a Bill Alexander from a book by Foster publishing. It came out so well considering I had only been painting for a month or so. I had not seen him on TV and I am grateful to see this wonderful and clear video of him. He was truly an artist. I haven’t painted in 17 years and started again recently. I had been doing painting from Bob Ross videos to get my ability back. I like Bill's style better for the way he can paint loose and still get so much detail. I am going to learn more of Bill’s technique. Please post more of this amazing man's videos. He is inspiring, and quite the character as well. A new generation needs to be exposed to his talent and technique.
David Allen we don’t actually credit him with this style of painting. We don’t even credit Bill. Because wet on wet painting existed in the 16th century.
He is so helpful with the verbal details that come along with his talented paintings. Love his honesty and forthright statements. hank you for the inspiration
You think it's absolutely adorable how bill gets so excited about his painting, he reminds me of that one fat kid you see in a candy store, grunting and growling...so much sass I love it!!
Wow, I saw this video and was shocked at how brazenly this guy was copying Bob Ross. I didn't realize it was the other way around! Bob Ross literally lifted the entire technique from him, down to the use of the palette knife and the liquid white on the canvas! It's really changed my view of Bob Ross. Is Ross' super-sweet demeanor all an act? That he would simply co-opt his teacher's style and not profusely credit him every single episode seems really shady to me. Very disappointing.
My father was German and an artist and about Bill's age. We used to watch his shows when they were aired on PBS decades ago. When I watch them now I'm struck by the idea that this is what I would get if I loaded everything about my father in an I A program. A fun and fun loving Verrückter deutscher Künstler!
wonderfull to see the differents here between Bob's and Bill Alexanders clouds 13:52 You see? alright i-have-spo-ken,,,...ha ha ha its always a joy to watch this man painting
it also depends whether the base coat is absorbent or impervious. There are now canvasses made out of synthetic fiber and grounded with plastic or acrylic. This is not at all good.
His legacy lives on and what a blessing to learn from the best! by teaching this form of Art to his generations and many generations to come is a the best form of paying forward! You are so inspiring world will miss u😘
Well I never! I've learnt a way to make realistic looking water and reflections! I'm going to give it a go tomorrow... Right after I go get myself a big brush! Thanks so much!
I just found you and because of you I've just painted my very first oil painting. I'm self taught, using TH-cam s my teaching platform. I've done nothing but acrylics because I've been scared of oil. You made is so simple yet beatiful and I went for it. Thank you so much!! My only regret is not finding you before. ❤️ Your spirit is amazing you were born to teach and pass on your gift.
Woo, he whom I have never met nor had a glance is always in me. Finding scarcely a great man like him. Bowing down before his loving and kind words. Love him always ❤️❤️
Lol! at 13:52 he utters the phrase made so popular on the Mandalorian by Kuiil: "I have spoken". I wonder if this is a German idiom or something. Too funny.
One of the problems being an artist is..people meet you and then they want to be your friend..after that they say since they are your friend..they want you to give them free paintings :(
As both recede back into time, they both will become about the same in popularity. .Bob gets more attention right now as the younger painters can still see his work on PBS.
Chiedo scusa, sono un principiante, e mi sto appassionando seguendo il maestro, anche se non capisco l'inglese. Avrei una domanda per chi può aiutarmi, sta usando acrilici o colori ad olio?
"I have spoken." He says so many stream-of-consciousness things that make me laugh. Not to mention that his techniques are inspirational.

What a great story. Ty for sharing that !
"They give me 28 minutes then get the hell out". I love this old man.
But have a painting...
Bill was the mighty motivator! He gets you to face challenges and see the better tomorrow.
That is exactly what I laughed out loud about
He is still a treasure! Love Bill so glad to find him so many years later
I was fortunate to have met Bill back in the mid 80s when he did a demonstration at a local mall. What a wonderful man he was. May he rest in peace.
❤

If Bill can put you to sleep then I imagine that Bob Ross could do it a minute or two.
Hi Robert Try watching 18th century cooking with John Townsend or Townsends Channel.. John has a very comforting voice..
Bob.From Nova Scotia too
@robthehobbit...me also...I love to listen to him talk. Very calming. One of my biggest regrets in life..was never meeting him in person
I love his humour and accent above all well talented artist
I love his enthusiasm.
Fire in....lol love it.
Wish i could of met him.
Rest in peace! What a wonderful happy man and an amazing artist!!! I am still following him. Now I started oil I used to do acrylics and I will do one of his lesson for sure! So easy to follow him!
Thank you Vicky. 💕

People worship Bob Ross and credit him with this methodology of painting. I remember watching Bill many moons ago. Thank you for putting these up.
Bill vs. Bob - Choose your side.
@@DominicciSkycam -- No sides. Art unites us all together.
I’m more of a Bill Stan, his loud personality just matches mine more. However I will always the same amount of respect for Bob Ross.
David Allen we don’t actually credit him with this style of painting. We don’t even credit Bill. Because wet on wet painting existed in the 16th century.
Bill spent years perfecting his style of painting and not a single moment was in vain. He made me into an artist and I cherish it.
Fantastic artist ! I love to listen to him talk as he paints. Such a happy man and very inspirational.

He was a great person always happy.
He reminds me of Schultz on Hogan's Heroes.
Ha ha ha, ho ho ho - a nice morning laugh with Bill 😊
He was the first to use the wet on wet painting style. Bob Ross not only copied the artist style but his phrases as well. That’s just… Sad.
Wet on wet aka alla prima goes back to medieval times however Bill popularized this iteration of that technique.

he reminds me of Seargent Schultz who Paints !!!
Yeah he does.
Just thank you for the moment to enjoy Alexander and his painting, his generosity and love for life and happiness
I HAVE SPOKEN!!!!
Bellisimo trabajo.saludos.

Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you found Bill's programs again.
Great performance and excellent skills. A master of painting you must follow.
“You are the wind, you are riding on this almighty cloud…..” What a Legend! 👍👏🙏
Perfeito. Showwww. Gostaria de pintar assim. Pena que não tenho todos os materiais. Mas adoro criar e pintar. Vamei
Loved Bill so much....such an Inspiration....loved listening and watching him.....so awesome
Patton Oswalt's bit from 1997 brought me here.
This is a good idea. Emailing out a new link of Bill's video. I hope you do more.
wonderfull to see the differents here between Bob's and Bill Alexanders clouds
13:52 You see? alright i-have-spo-ken,,,...ha ha ha its always a joy to watch this man painting
You makes painting looks easy. Great job, master
Os seus trabalhos de pintura são inspiradores e de uma tranquilidade saudável. Obrigado por partilhar. Saudações.
Very inspiring and clear explanation what a joy to see thank you
Bob was Bill's able deciple, sent out into the world to continue spreading the good news, "You are the almighty creator of your world."
it also depends whether the base coat is absorbent or impervious. There are now canvasses made out of synthetic fiber and grounded with plastic or acrylic. This is not at all good.
So blessed am I, to have known William. i hope to see him again.
He's dead dumbass..
@@nub9562 that was rude. The commentator probably didn't know he was dead
Nub real rude, we are all blessed to have known will’ and we all wish to see william in real life
