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 ;)
What an incredibly talented man he was. He's been gone for so long but watching these videos brings me joy
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!!
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 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.
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 UA-cam , we can watch them forever
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 . . .
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 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!"
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 remember watching Bill back in the 80's. I really enjoyed him and Bob Ross
This guys amazing
Love his enthusiasm and passion
You are rocking master
I love how he keeps lapsing into just muttering "Home on the Range" to himself
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."
I love this fun little man!
This was fantastic. I love Bill Alexander. And he can sing too!
He is not gone, he is here teaching us. What a privilege!
Im 12 and I like watching this! Bill inspired me to start painting!
What an inspiration...Thank You Mr Alexander...Rest in Peace..
Thank you for taking the time to comment. ❤️
Thank you for the inspiration... Beautiful work!
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.
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.
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 the way he described joyfully mixing his paint..."like a pig in manure". I wonder if Ross ever "borrowed" that line too.
Love watching you paint! You have so much fun with it!
Alexander raises painting to a whole higher level compared to Ross.
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.
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
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!
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!
When I was a kid this is how I would have loved to have painted. I loved architecture back in those days.
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
Love his sweet accent. Very beautiful paintings.
Much love for you and your paintings.❤
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!
It's great to watch the man who inspired the master! After much watching, I am inspired to "give it a go".
big big, and lot of love for you sir. Alexander, love u
I can watch/listen to this guy ALL DAY!
Thank you Alexander
what a charming old eccentric he must have been.
NO MERCY, Mr. Alexander!
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 .
Thanks Bill ! Now I got that song stuck in my head! Lol
I'm enjoying watching him. Thank you sir
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!!
Beautiful work.
Saludos desde Argentina, i like the houses...
Yes Sir I most certainly enjoyed , such beauty that you paint with such ease and the stories are so interesting thank you for sharing 🌺
Beautiful and enjoyed. Great work
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
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.
Great painter, great stuff.
Mad respect for him because he created a legend who makes happy little trees.
Wow, I wish I can do something like this with a Autumn Look to it.
Ah, those sunny days of my youth, when the sun would peek out from behind the sun!
WOWwwwwwww this guy is NICE. I love this painting.
Yes I enjoyed actually it was so much fun watching and also listening to you while you paint so beautifully 🌺
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
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…
You’re amazing and I love your personality!
Home home on the range great episode
Congratulations. Great job. I did enjoy.
So talented! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Beautiful !

i love the singing too.......very good....thanks
awesome work
Love it! Thank you!
Beautiful ❤️
So beautiful ❤
great.. great.. great !!! i usually wonder in your beauty streets and have the wine of colours.
This is just like watching Bob Ross.
Oops, I forgot to finish.
This is just like watching Bob Ross, only about 100 times better.
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.
Really nice 👍 great technique. I'm going to try some of these
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 ;)
Wonderful!
I Love this guy!!
"If it's your way, it's the right way."
I knew Burger King wasn't lying to me.
Bill's catchphrase, “You can paint it any way you like!” :)
kxmode - and “Tanks for vatching me!”
great artist
You are great.
Precioso .Muy bonito
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
Maestro
Este é um verdadeiro artista. Acompanho quase todos os seus trabalhos. Fico fascinado. Me esforço para pelo menos chegar perto do que você faz.
It's watching a person dance on a highwire and they assure you that it's easy, anyone can do it. All you need is confidence and practise.
Très beau je trouve une belle profondeur les petites maisons vielles je les trouve adorable merci💖
Bill was just as much of a wordsmith as he was a painter
Шикарная работа !!!
Браво, 👏 прекрасная живопись💖💖💖💖💖
Loved it
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Was just thinking there should be a bill playlist on Spotify for all the songs he sings
May God bless William Alexander. :)
All jail master Alexander the legend that teaches legends
C'est très jolie ! J'aime bien les maisons .
Superb
I enjoyed home, home on the range!
