If this man would have lived 400 - 500 years ago, he would be considered a grand master today. (And I do so 😉) What a nice person as well, two for the price of one. Well done Bill, fire it in 💪
I think these are instructional tapes meant to be shown in art classes. That’s why he takes a lot more time explaining the paints and his painting area. He also puts more detail into the painting and doesn’t explain as much as he normally would.
I'm gonna echo all the other comments.....' so happy ' to see a new episode of Bill!! I ESPECIALLY love the hour long ones. I'm a member on his website and I don't think there are older longer episodes like this so I'm staying up late cuz I can't wait to see and hear him again. Thx u
I don't have great artistic talent, some maybe, but Mr Alexander is very easing to watch sort of mentally and physically therapeutic in some respect. I had fell into his work accidentally in the 80's, needing to find peace after coming home from the military, work was slow if not impossible to find, but I could tune into The Magic of Oil Painting and his show brought a bit of light to a dull world. I may paint rarely, but it is his inner peace he leads the audience into a relaxing state of mind. Sometimes I would become a bit anxious awaiting the next show. I recall when he brought Bob Rossi aboard, who branched onto his own yet retaining a hint of William Alexander. Thanks for posting this.
Instead of building a box with a 2x4.. I just take a regular plastic trash can with a heavy duty trash bag in it. I then have a standard wooden broom handle that you can buy at a home supply standing in the can (I think the small round handle is easier on the brushes).. I beat the brush in the can and the extra thinner stays in the can. I also throw my paper towels in the can, this absorbs all the thinner. When finished, just pull the bag out and throw it away.
Watching Mr Bill makes me want to forget about buying art gear and knock the cobwebs off of my Tenor Sax and start playing again. Then I listen to Dexter Gordon and I want to lay my Sax on the driveway and run over it with my 3/4 ton pickup truck. I'd start playing 9 Ball again, but I don't think I could walk around the table very long and today they have many different rules. In any event Mr Alexander is amazing, huh!
what i figured out is ..yes He came up with Wet on Wet ../with Magic white...but Vincent Van Gogh .. Mattise, Monet, serrat, etc..were painting wet on wet back then..Bill didnt invent wet on wet ..He invented magic white ..even fresco painting is wet on wet
His Voice is not awful. He has a different way of speaking English and probably his mother tongue is not English. I attended Bob Ross CRI course where you can not deviate from Bob Ross methods. But watching Alexander, it is slower but the same basic technique. But I understand that I don't have to rush, I don't have to put in so much content, and can do the cabins in a different way. Bob Ross courses are very strictly prescriptive offering no freedom. You have to do it the way you are taught. But Alexander takes that fear away of a prescription. Why not combine the two? But I can clearly see how Bob Ross improved it and found slightly different way of doing it and grounded it!
More please! This show is the first hour long show where Bill had time to explain things better than the half hour version.
As always very beautiful and more importantly, done with the spirit off wonder and love.
Du bist sehr vermisst Onkel Willi.
@Todd Markel
Thank you so much for uploading Bill's old episodes. Always loved his work. At 12, his show kept me out of trouble.
I never even knew he made any hour long episodes. Thanks for uploading!
Love this man’s joy of the lord
Artistic and spiritual great teacher and painter, he always bring happiness.Thank you Todd Markel for your generous way to enjoy a great moment.

What a nice person as well, two for the price of one.
Well done Bill, fire it in 💪
It is always a joy to see this Happy Painter, i hope more is coming the unreleased video's from him
I always loved when Bill did still-life paintings...those were his best shows!
Really wonderful, thank you Mr.Todd Markel, for enjoy and learn for second time, this still life from such unforgettable artist.
lost for words I have enjoyed watching him paint he is true master what ever he paints
Wow once again bill's paintings are always amazingly beautifull
Funny I've been watching him since the early 1980s but I don't believe I've ever seen this particular episode... thank you so much for uploading!

I really truly enjoyed seeing a true artist at work.....thank you. William.
Great teacher in oils👍🎨🖌️
A real MASTER !
I was curious about "Bob's Teacher" , so i looked him up on Wikipedia , found his name , UA-cam brought me here , and i'm in Awe .
This is exactly how I found Bill Alexander and it is wonderful.

This man is a magical magician! I love him !
Thanks todd for showing us who the true master was!
I like his voice 2
20:04 magic!
The original. The passion. The teacher. The inventor of the wet-on-wet style.
bills invention was coating the canvass before painting...painting color on color goes back to at least the 1500's
THIS is the Art. I'm impressed!
I know, I love his 'teaching' techniques and not just painting. I just wish people would shut about their bigotry...they never even knew the guy.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS FANTASTIC ARTIST
What a great lesson!! Thank you so much.
Beautiful!

Great tip!!!
1 + 0 + 6 = lucky number 7. 😉. Yes, always stand back and look at your work...always. If there are mistakes, you will see them then.
Thanks! Bill is awesome

It’s odd to see that Bill was wearing that genuine dress shirt on a view below his waist.
You can call him DAPPER once in a while!
Great Magic better than Copyfield
