Re bonjour j aimerais juste savoir si je peut acheter la même peinture que vous et à quel site je peut l acheter merci baucoup

[@South3West77]

A man, in the Autumn of his life, & still, still extremely passionate about his life's work. Amazing such a gifted energetic talented man. Thankyou for posting these treasures up.

[@bethbartlett5692]

He knew he was an eternal Soul, life is never to be fearful or depressing. The "Universal Law of Attraction" is Absolute Understand it and embraced your Power. This is actually what Yeshua/Jesus was teaching. Best Thoughts ...

[@shine01120]

Can't help but smile when I watch Bill's videos. The way he almost always starts with a song, and attacks the canvas, firing in the colour. What an amazing character

[@papo826]

I followed Bill for several years then Bob Ross before even attempting to paint landscapes. Using their techniques I am proud to say today I am a professional landscape artist with paintings hanging all over the country. Whilst I have "dressed" my own technique, much of what I still do is directly linked to Bill Alexander and Bob Ross. They both proved that almost anyone CAN paint if they believe and only try. There are no mistakes, "Only happy accidents". They are sorely missed.

[@michaelparry1383]

So true, so true. They would both be so proud of your accomplishments. You have taken what they have given all of us and added your own sills to make you a success. Great work.

[@olgaroberts-vanveenendaal9288]

So sorry to hear that Mr. Alexander is not here anymore. But his paintings are so alive, he continues to live in it. His paintings are gorgeous and I like very much his comments when he was painted. Very happy that I find your channel. Thank you

[@shavaunaronan3188]

So beautiful. Bill was an incredible artist, very passionate about his art. So glad we can still learn from him through his videos. Thank you Bill.

[@PleaseNThankYou]

Sounds like he lived through some crazy stuff! Its hard to talk about WWII when your favorite TV personality was playing on the opposing team. Life is hard, so you paint.

The way he puts the leaves on the ground so quickly is just extraordinary.

[@stever.8916]

it's such an honor to watch this man paint, I have watched him paint since I was about 9-10 yrs old, I am shy of 50 now. I wish him and Bob were still alive today, 😇😇😇 their techniques we're incredible

I'd trade The Kardassians for Bob and Bill.

the Bill and Bob magical joy of oil painting show.

[@johndolejsch5102]

Steve R. Same here. They both were such great painters I enjoyed watching both them as well. So sad they're not here. Especially Bob Ross because he died so young in 1995. But their names will be around forever because from generation to the Next Generation they will know who these 2 were and that's a great thing

[@michaeltalbot8242]

Thank goodness they left Thier methods for all to see😀

[@brentnicol6391]

I have no words for this painting. It is the best. I could image myself on that path between those trees. Absolutely magic.

[@edstathis7377]

One of the last things he says, "When the banks are closed" 😅😊 Yes Bill. We're all happy when that happens.

[@KrishnaKumar-rt1yw]

Hi there, it's always happy days with Bill painting a happy path down the forest into the yonder. He has such a fertile imagination. Truly an Autumn Dream.

[@johnperkens600]

It's amazing watching bill again. The last time I remember seeing him was on TV sometime in the 80s when I first retired.

[@stevee7774]

John Perkens - Damn, you’re old.

[@Terkzorr]

Bob might've been more relaxing but Bill surely was more talented. That finished painting is simply amazing.

[@stevee7774]

Jeremy Gabryszak - I’m glad you stated that because so many of Bill’s fans are convinced Bob ‘stole’ this technique from him. Bob was very humble and gave Bill credit for teaching him and being a mentor!

[@marcelopose]

Si Bob hubiese hecho esa pintura, quedaba idéntica como Bill la pintó. Bob era más prolijo al mezclar los colores que Bill en la paleta y no hacía tanto bullicio al pintar. Hay que reconocer que los dos eran fantásticos artistas.

[@cleopuma4322]

Bill taught Bob everything , including wet on wet technique.

[@AAlexanderArt]

Bill was a master artist. By the time he reached "celebrity" on his Emmy award winning television show, he had painted for over forty years and taught for over twenty. The fact he could create a painting in 28 minutes was no gimmick. It was because he had the skills of a master painter. Thanks for your comments and appreciating the skill of this great artist!

Mr. Alexander had a little bit more Talent than my Bob Ross did in my opinion

[@Wasabisaki]

Dale Holbert I agree. Bob Ross is great, but overrated. His paintings are always very predictable and his man-made objects never looked that great

[@enragedkaiser237]

While i love Bob, this guy has way better composition. I like his painting more because he does not blend everything like Bob so it looks more expressive.

[@dclydep]

Bill was Bobs teacher 😉 literally Bob was a fine artist - but Bill has always made me laugh while amazing me with his talent 😊

[@cleopuma4322]

@@dclydep I don't have much respect for Ross, because he even copied Bill's expressions like Happy Little trees, or Clouds. Bill felt betrayed by Bob.
