    This is so amazing for two reasons, the first being the obvious one (Bill's genius), but the second is that it's an important document of the artist's repertoire because we see mostly land- and seascapes. So THANK YOU for posting this❤❤❤

      I like seeing how someone handles a black canvas. I've been thinking of trying this. He's quite good.
      I'm not as interested in still life.
      But then in my home town there were classes in still life at our library. It seemed every old widow in town was in the class and filled the town with still life paintings. I got a little burned out on the subject. Though Manet painted several masterful still lifes.

      Does the channel moderator know? They had put out a call requesting private or corporate owners of original contact them for purposes of study and tracking the existing art. The lovily lady who runs his business is very kind and enthusiastic about archiving his work as she was there for most if not all of his show year and retired years.

    Absolutely BRILLIANT!
    This is valuable for all ranges of artists from beginner all the way to top professionals(like me). His teachings on getting rim perspectives correct at different heights is GENIOUS!
    Watching him work is a joy and a treat.
    Sometimes it's not what he does, but what he says.
    Bill is one in a billion.
    Thank you for posting this exceptional video.
    Keep them coming.
    MORE FLORAL TOO! (with Lowell)
    You guys rock!
