"When your 70 you live on borrwed life" So sad to hear that. We are slowly withering away. R.I.P Bill. He would be heartbroken to see state of world we are in today.
Bill Alexander was the master. I really liked Bob Ross, but Bill Alexander is the OG. His paintings make Bob's look like cartoons. Bill Alexander bravo!
I started watching Bill Alexander paint in the 1980's. I have taken time off for life experiences and have started painting again. I love Bill. I recently discovered Lowell Speers who was a student of Bill's. He, too, is a fabulous artist as well as a wonderful teacher! I believe Bill is with God now--painting amazing pictures!!
Thank you so much for your comments. Yes we believe Bill is with God now painting amazing pictures or sunsets or something! It is exciting to know you have started painting again. Thanks for watching Bill.
Bill called it about the state of America. If only he could see it now he would be crying in shame of and for us. What a beautiful, brilliant human being and artist. You can feel the strength of his convictions when he speaks. Up until 3 days ago I was strictly a Bob Ross viewer, but now I'm absolutely hooked on Mr. Bill Alexander. A true master.
Sir, I am not having any word to appreciate you. Sir, you are not finding words to express your self. You do beyond your self to make your students understand. I too not having words to appreciate your efforts 🙏. On the whole you are a great teacher. Sir stay blessed always for your students. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow the first 6 minutes had me thinking, man he paints only 15 minutes an episode and the rest is inspirational speech... Then I see this episode is an hour and twenty lol 🙏
you can find some 28 minutes episodes where he only starts painting after 7 minutes of talking about a better tomorrow, creative power, thickness of the paint, his wife great cooking, fishing down the lake.... gotta love bill, the greatest and first!
I vaguely remember Bill growing up and in my quest to study Bob lead me back and wow Bill is amazing and absolutely fantastic. I come away so inspired with my MIGHTY knife as I FIRE into the canvas as I am next to God. What a gift to world he was. May he rest in peace.
@@jamescarter4312 bobs show wasn't really about painting, bill is the better painter but thats not the point of the joy of painting is became a huge most watched painting show of all time because its about bobs personality, his ability to help people relax and help with their anxiety and stress, bob soothing and easygoing personality and way of talking about things is what made his show what it became. he could of been cooking, holding animals, or any number of things and his personality is what draws people. watching his show is like taking a tranquilizer, its not about painting lessons, i know a lot of people who know of bob ross and watched his show and none of them are into painting..its about bob not about the painting.
Hi, greetings from Germany. Unfortunately I didn't know Bill until recently, and it's very sad he already passed away years ago. He's great! I wish I had known him earlier. Now I have a lot to do with watching him paint all these beautiful paintings, and listening to his inspiring words. Maybe he'll still receive my "Thank you, Bill (Danke, Wilhelm)" and smile down on us...

Thank you for your comment. Please don’t judge him as an artist based on a 26 minute demonstration. Bill was an accomplished artist long before he chose to share his talent with the world on television. These shows were teaching moments for him. Imagine making a great piece of art in 26 minutes. Not sure anyone could do it. Especially while they were teaching at the same time. Yes he was a beautiful human being.
@@olgaburgos7780 He's letting the magic white sink into the canvas, so to pass time he's talking. The motivation in his talking is equivalent to a therapy. So thank him to talk.
Thank you for keeping Bill Uncensored...He DOES talk about God! For me I too Believe in God and am not offended but somewhat thrilled he had beenable to share so much of his thoughts that to some may seem tough or rude ...here on Alaskan Hideaway he does talk about his philosophy and maybe part is the translation of english but saying thank you and I'm expecting to see Bill in Heaven. His hope that all give Painting a try that all can paint with patience. I know he means well for everyone...and I do find myself laughing a lot! He does have a sense of humor. Great Compassion. Thank you again for this wonderful Man's work...May you all be Blessed!
It's as if he knew he was going to Heaven soon. I've never seen such a happy person. Great skill in Art but greater skill for life. Love him. Next to God. X
You can really tell Bill gets fired up from his artistic passion, when he begins intermixing his German and English expressions like paint on his palette. It makes me think that we can only express our fiercest and deepest passions in our instinctual language. Bill's passion for art truly shines through here.
Hi, what an outstanding painter! I could watch him paint all night and listen to his voice! What a wonderful artist and man of God he is! I pray l can follow him and do half as well as he does!
Thank you for asking. We may not have the original air dates but we can possibly add the date recorded or at least the year it aired. Keep in mind many of these shows were never aired on PBS.
Bill did all the inventing and developing for us. Sadly Bob, his student claimed he did what Bill had already done. I've had to remove oil from Ross paints to get them to work properly with Bill's technique.
A half hour was never enough for Bill Alexander. He always needed an hour to fit in his philosophical dialogue on top of his painting lesson. 1/2 hour painting lessons are cruel and unusual allotments of time for such an endeavor. A lot of painting is driven by thought and feeling, and is just not technique. "I think, therefore I am", I paint, therefore I am able to make mention of that distinction. Take hold of that "mighty brush", and paint on that "mighty canvas".
