- Oil Painting Lessons: Learn to Paint a Breathtaking Sunset with Bill Alexander
In this oil painting lesson, Bill Alexander will take you through the steps of painting a breathtaking sunset. This video is perfect for anyone who want to learn how to create beautiful landscapes with oils.
"The brush is crooked from my *power* you see? No mercy, no mercy."
I like the cut of this guy's jib.
He reminds me a lot of my old-school neighbors who have since passed on. Many of them were from the same area where he was born.
That would be such a beautiful painting for a room with dark wood paneling.
TH-cam recommending this video based on Bob Ross' videos was on point...
Bill was Bob's teacher...they've made me fall in love with painting without even ever picking up a brush...
Didn't know he was Bob's teacher. That's a good thing to learn!
Yeah, I read that when Bob got his show, there was some friction. I think Bill started this concept....of oiling out his canvas with his brand of linseed oil and white call Magic White. He sold it with his Name on it....along with brushes and paints. Good business really. When Bob got a show he used his Magic White. After a few episodes, he had to change it to Liquid White...probably for HIS OWN product line. I never heard Bob credit Bill. Interesting.
Bob did credit Bill in his earlier series but as you say, some friction developed......
@@patrickcharles7190 Who knew that gentle, peace-loving “happy little trees” Bob Ross was really a Machiavellian businessman.
@@MrTee-hw7mp That was the Kowalskis, not Bob Ross.
A very beautiful red sunset painting.
Thank you for watching!
I love and miss Bill. Such great memories of him on PBS. A true organic master painter. He also had a fascinating, if not extremely adverse life. Bill was born in East Prussia (in what is now Poland). His family fled to Berlin during World War I. Apprenticed as a carriage maker, Bill was drafted into the Wehrmacht during World War II. Captured by Allied troops, he painted portraits of Allied officers' wives. After World War II, Bill became a refugee, and professional painter, pioneering the modern quick version of the wet-on-wet technique, and moved to North America. The rest is history. I could see Anthony Hopkins (a very competent painter) portraying an older Bill in a biopic.
Thank you for the insight..
And agreed, Anthony Hopkins would make an amazing Bill Alexander.
I would drop $1k in a Kickstarter to make this a reality. God what a great film idea.
👆🏻 OMG...This!!! Hopkins could pull off Bill with near 100% accuracy. The only thing left now is to figure out who to (potentially) cast as Bob Ross...assuming he’s a part of this story. It would be fun-and well worth while-to explore their relationship, and eventual rivalry from a neutral, well researched perspective. In any case, I’d be more than happy to embark on this journey with you.
@@ryanfreer77 I’m with you guys on this. Let’s do it!!
@@stormcorrosion176 Hear, hear! All the way! A project like this would require a lot of research to begin writing, and I was hoping to hear back from Joe, as he posed the idea. Additionally, I'd imagine getting Hopkins onboard would be a challenging task for an indie filmmaker. But I'm certainly willing to jump those hurdles as they come.
Hopefully we can all discuss it in greater detail. I'm under the same name on Facebook and Messenger if either of you want to send me a PM. (Edit) BTW, I'm in Fort Worth, Texas. There are other Ryan Freers out there, but I should be easy to spot.
Guao excellent drawings very good and the colors look great very good this is the especial drawings
His phrases are as magical as his wonderful paintings
Now we have Bill’s footage on TH-cam too! Thanks so much whoever’s uploading
I can watch him paint all day. Started watching him in '79. I still remember the theme song to his first shows. Thank you for sharing these. They are the best because he's genuine and original. I was a young artist influenced by so many styles, but this one and Bill always had a special place for me.
From the thumb nail I thought that was Ric Flair painting for all of us lol I need glasses
WOOOO!!!
Starts randomly yelling WOOOO! At his painting
@@slapxshot96 lol
Ric Flair, haha, haven’t seen that name in like 20 years!
Jet flyin limousine riding paint brushing son of a gun
What he managed to paint in 27 minutes considering the tangents of random thoughts he constantly goes on and doesn't actually paint is amazing.
What a painting! So simple to do (if you know what you do) and so incredible effective!
Thank you so much for all those uploads. I was born in 1990 and know Bill and his show just because
of your uploads. It enriches my live seriously to listen to Mr. Alexander and watch him paint! :)
"You growl into yourself" what a line.
Almighty powerful Bill ! True passion. Always makes his class fun thank you again for posting these

The Mentor!
Thanks for another great painting from the Master. I will try this one. My black canvass is ready.
Hey Dawn, Is there a chance you could post the great video from Bill named "Rushing River"?
Condee is that from “the magic of oil painting”? I don’t recognize the name as one of our shows.
Beautiful love your work!
NO SMALL WONDER HE'S ALWAYS SAYING "YOU ARE NEXT TO GOD"!
THIS LOOKS ALMOST LIKE A PHOTOGRAPH INSTEAD OF A PAINTING, AND THAT'S AT 480!!
LOL!
A TRUE MASTER!!
5:00 thank you all for watching how to make a painting in 5 min
What year was this aired?
Long ago
14:54 LOOK AT HIS BRUSH
MAGIC CONFIRMED
Holy shit, that looks nuts
Clear Varnish ? Ya gotta work fast when ya use varnish.
Please difference between hard(oil paint?) and soft paint? I know liquid white but his soft paint is not liquid white.
His soft paint is the consistency of most oil paints. His hard white is a thick, firm dry white. It has less oil in it.
Does anyone know where this painting ended up?
We don’t know where it went. It was sold in 1994.
I love that Bill was Bob's mentor, yet has the opposite effect that Bob does on my mood lol. Not the most relaxing fellow to listen to. Great artist, though. People hate on Bob Ross for "stealing" Bill's technique...but Bob always gave him credit and love for giving him his start. People will troll for no reason. The first Bob Ross recording is Bill literally passing the paint brush over to him.
The weird thing is, despite the handing of the brush, later in Bob's life Bill was actually quite bitter towards him for becoming so wealthy.
I agree...wet on wet isn't a new technique
I agree...wet on wet isn't a new technique
It's not that people are actually hating on Bob I think. He was such a talented artist in his own right. It's that he lifted Bill's entire routine almost verbatim...from the styling of his show, to the phraseology "the happy little clouds," and "the almighty brush," to re-branding and capitalizing on a number of products that Bill created. To make things worse, there were only those few occasions in the beginning when Bob publicly acknowledged Bill for any of it. Many of us who watched these shows on PBS back in the day, missed those episodes. So seeing Bob emerge many years later with a shtick that replicated Bill's in many ways, seemed in poor taste at best.
forest fire on the opposite coast :)
While I find Bob Ross more relaxing, I think Bill Alexander instructs better
good
I prefer watching you over bob ross .
“Git gud, Smelly German”
Count Dankula
I'll try this painting because it's so awesome but i know it'l end up in the garbage because i'll never make it look anywhere near as nice as bill's .
We all start at some point and it is okay to have some weird results in the beginning. Just keep practicing and you will learn and improve with each next painting. Also no one says it shall be identical to Bill or any other online video, everyone brings their own style. Main thing is to enjoy the process and flow with it.
Paint
1:24 glad to see he 'beats the devil' out of the brush too.
Bonjour je trouve se peindre sansasionnel mais s il pouvez parler en français pas sous titrer parler en français car les écriture empêche de voir son talent un peintre d réception
It isn't the Haystack Rock in Oregon...unless the one in Oregon has lost a lot of weight and slimmed out.
I puet dat deh.
Wow. ¿The new. Bob Ross?
Bob Ross teacher to be exact
Bill Alexander came long before Bob. In fact he was Bob's mentor, and taught him the wet-on-wet technique...which Bill had already spent a lifetime mastering.
First:)
He reminds me of Wolfgang Puck😅
I WILL NOT GET FAT AND LAZY!
*cough, cough*
Just finished mine. I love you! instagram.com/p/CBG4Xg3HIyq/
Sometimes he paints like he is having a stroke
I never knew this guy existed. I guess public networking was trying to capitalize on the Bob Ross craze. Is this guy dead too?
Wait, was this Bob Ross' mentor?
@@XeresKyle Indeed he was. Bill Alexander was the original Happy Painter. Those famous phrases like, "the happy little trees, the happy mountain, the almighty brush," and "you fire in" all started with Bill. Bob Ross' show appeared many years later; and while he was also an incredible artist, it was strange to see how much he lifted directly from Bill without giving him much credit. There were other issues too, which naturally led to a rivalry and some legal disputes between them. You can only imagine what might've been in both their relationship, and creative careers had it not been for this...which is unfortunate.
Died two years after Bob in 1997.
Merde! Il parle beaucoup
Wonderful painting, but his English is terrible.
worse bob ross
He was Bob's mentor actually.
Bob was a con! Bill is where it's at.
