    I followed Bill for several years then Bob Ross before even attempting to paint landscapes. Using their techniques I am proud to say today I am a professional landscape artist with paintings hanging all over the country. Whilst I have "dressed" my own technique, much of what I still do is directly linked to Bill Alexander and Bob Ross. They both proved that almost anyone CAN paint if they believe and only try. There are no mistakes, "Only happy accidents". They are sorely missed.
