Bill paints a magnificent water reflection with a stunning cloudy sky. Lots of great techniques not only for creating clouds but also a reflection technique you can use in any of your paintings.
Bill also shows you how to solve two annoying problems that can pop up in your painting. This is a simple painting but there is still a lot to learn!

[@iliyaivanov1157]

I love how he explains life by painting landscapes. This man has seen so much of life and had a very positive attitude on his shows. I`m thankful for this content on youtube since I haven`t had the chance to see him paint while he was alive.

[@geggs13]

I have nothing but respect for an old and extremely talented guy who says: "see, what I did wrong? I'm glad you saw that lesson".

[@brothermaleuspraetor9505]

heh, yeah, then goes on to create a beautiful, stunner. :P

[@gbhamilton9420]

I had the honor of meeting and learning from Bill when he had his Salem warehouse. He taught me a little different as far as magic white goes. He said touch the canvas and make sure you can just see your finger print, not covered up. Just your finger print

[@albino5995]

Even though he is no longer with us, he is STILL schooling me. That trick where you add more of the mountain will be something I never forget! Thank you Bill

[@indigozen4794]

There is absolutely nothing like Bill's seascapes!

[@Kragatar]

I love when Bill gets all hyped up and starts growling as he paints. Makes art fun and exciting. :-)

[@albino5995]

Kragatar he’s like a wise tiger about to pounce on the canvas 😂

[@timrockman7]

One time he was doing some clouds and emphasising how he had very little paint on his brush. With his back to the camera he said "Paint is your worst enemy!" I laughed out loud. He was the greatest!

[@robinnewton412]

So passionate, he really enjoys himself!

[@choppy249]

It’s no wonder that Bob Ross became such a competent artist after learning from Bill . The master taught and the pupil became a master too . They each have a slightly different use of colour I think but they are both inspiring in their own way . Wonderful to watch and learn from them. I hope they have become good friends now in Paradise.

[@Kanuck1818]

I'm now watching Bill do his magic 40 years on ❤ Thank you, Sir!

[@edwill62]

Love watching and listening to Bill....he was the one who got me to start painting so many years ago

[@chrisbeauchamp6612]

Me too, many years ago

[@esling77]

The True Master. Ty for this. RIP Bill.

[@zaarazaina1]

I love his personality that makes painting even more easy too

[@drbob528]

This man is incredible. His style is so fluid and the results are so spectacular. I now need a cup of strong coffee, then I'll watch another of these remarkable demonstrations. I get the feeling that Bill Alexander could do beautiful work with a hay rake. Many thanks.

[@Disco-Terry]

Would love it if we got more uploads on the channel similar to how all the bob ross stuff is now online. It's so relaxing to watch people paint.

[@AAlexanderArt]

[@paulaneys7851]

I'm happy I discovered him❤️.

[@1961jscofield]

Bill does what my favorite musicians often do: create magic and make it look easy!

[@brentnicol6391]

I just love watching this man paint. He has more energy than the youth of today.

[@TwoManOperation]

ok boomer

[@ResimSevgisi]

He is true master teacher , I love Bill's paintings and his student Bob's .

[@xplosiveactionarchive9092]

I didnt even notice this channel uploaded 2 new episodes of Bill! Thank you! Keep posting more :D

[@icekng456]

He is the original, true master of his craft

[@thekidfromiowa]

He was enough of a master that he could get by with fewer colors and the bare minimum of brushes. He could make a 2 inch brush paint as fine as a script liner brush. It's not just what tools you use but how you use it.

[@billgrandone3552]

Good to see the old man again. There are now many art instructors on the net and some are much better than Bill, but no one has the excitement that Bill has for what he is doing. He really loved his art and teaching to others even though his English needed a bit of work from time to time. He was a joy to watch.

[@williamhayes5488]

Bill Grandone ahhhhh shaddup!!!

[@billgrandone3552]

Back at ya' jerk!

[@fredycooper4319]

These paintings are so much more detailed and so much nicer then bobs paintings.

[@AAlexanderArt]

Fredy Cooper Bill was a true Master Artist. These paintings were done from his head while filming. He understood the laws of painting enough and had painted for so long that it was really muscle memory for him to paint.

[@saeedmughal100]

This great artist is full of life and passion as well. He does his art work outstandingly.

[@hughtempleton8640]

I love Bill's Energy , what a great teacher 😀

[@ojnabsekil6531]

So talented! Really enjoy these videos...

[@mohdarif8714]

Amazing personality and a great artist Alexander.

[@caronboler4048]

Did I enjoy it? Totally. Thank you. So wonderful to watch. I have to try it now.

[@marcelopose]

Fantástica técnica de pintura. Guardaré éste video para poder reproducir ese cuadro en un futuro. Al escucharlo me llamó la atención el acento, y me di cuenta que no es norteamericano, es una persona que aprendió inglés y se le nota. Bill Alexander el alemán de nacimiento.

[@steveflynn8311]

I could see myself fishing on the banks there...almighty job sir..well done

[@flooklh]

I love Bill's paintings. Thank you for this one. Very interesting. I'm going to try something similar.

[@codedesigns9284]

That is amazing!!!! Wow!

[@olgavina1731]

Thank you, great moment with a great artist

[@timrockman7]

I bit off more than I could chew with a nine canvas nanik for a corporate headquarters conference room. Never did such a large project. Feeling quite overwhelmed, I had no idea how I could pull of this huge work, and feeling like a fraud, I watched and recorded a few of Bills lessons. My biggest worry was the huge mountains I sketched and painted and did small demos on board. I was using acrylics, not oils. An Alexander show on PBS one afternoon filled me with confidence and power, and I went back to my studio ready to Fire in my mountains! Total success. Bill was the most 'Almighty Teacher' there ever was... in my opinion. Peace be with that wonderful man! I hope he is firing in stars and galaxies, and having a wonderful existence. Bless his soul.

[@tysonrinker8089]

Tim Carney did you do the mountains using acrylic with the pallet knife adding highlights and shadows

[@timrockman7]

No... I used a 2" flat bristle brush with thick acrylics. Completely different technique.

[@timrockman7]

I watched him do his pallet knife mountains and intended to duplicate the effects with my 2" white hog bristle brush. What made this lesson vitally important to me was his way of telling me that I was "The Creator" of my work, and I can put a sun, lake or mountain anywhere I want! Or three suns if I desired. He empowered me, and I bless his soul!

[@phillipwalton6106]

Tim Carney loo

[@alaj7922]

Bill, thank to you I belive I will paint!

[@azcowgirl905]

I love this! You are a great teacher!

[@isabellefoubert785]

Vous me faites penser à William Turner j'adore votre manière de peindre, votre geste. Vos paysages sont magnifiques , subtils forts et profonds. Avec vous je découvre qu' on peut faire de grandes choses avec l acrylic . Quel est le format de votre toile ? Merci isabelle

[@condeerogers5858]

Thank you Alexander Art for this new video. I hope you continue posting more.

[@alrich1004]

Thanks for uploading again.

[@tradernz4072]

Bill was the master. Bob the apprentice. It shows in the scope and quality of painting

[@williamconcepcion4635]

Excellent drawings very well thanks you for the best you have nice and great work

[@peterk8909]

I love this old man.

[@mauriziopolizzi4103]

Bill is Still the man!

[@joanmccluskey4711]

[@angelamariabarros8172]

Amei, Mr. Alexander, voce é sensacional. Um abraço brasileiro para voce

[@humbertovieira4619]

Angela , Bill Alexander foi quem ensinou Bob Ross ! Infelizmente ja nao pertencem ao mundo dos vivos ha muitos anos !!!!

[@mathumitadutta3169]

How nice

[@antoniomelendez3919]

Bob Ross’ mentor amazing 😉

[@lucianodavidbr]

Awesome :O

[@johnnymiller9458]

Thanks Bill ❤

[@AAlexanderArt]

Thank you for watching!

[@jagdipgohil]

OMG !!!! hahhaa great!!!

[@angelamariabarros8172]

Humberto, agradeço sua atenção e apesar da tristeza que senti continuarei a amar esses homens maravilhosos que , com arte e talento , me deram tanta alegria. Agora entendo por que Bob Ross é tão bom.

[@acewilliams7917]

I love it when he fires on the magic white.

[@ElectronWranglerTV]

*Smears paint all over the canvas* Oh this will be horrible. *Gently drags the 2" brush over paint smears* Poof! A wonderful painting! Haha, I love both Bill and Bob

[@iliyaivanov1157]

I like Bob Ross`s style and Bill`s. Honestly I think Bill`s better because I never get bored of looking at his videos.

[@robinnewton412]

Both are great!

[@ayeshamansur8446]

Fantastic thanks Mr. Alexander you make it look so simple, is this same technique possible with acrylics since acrylics dries so fast very hard to blend well.

[@CliffLewis28]

Ayesha Mansur There are acrylic mediums that will slow the drying time. It's not quite as good as William's magic white, but it's close.

[@robinnewton412]

I paint this style in acrylics ( no Magic White of course ). You have to work fast because they dry fast. Blending isn't as easy but you still get a beautiful painting.

[@jeanetta59]

Lovely

[@dimitriosfromgreece4227]

BRAVO LOVE YOU ❤😍❤😍

[@mathumitadutta3169]

Nice

[@hddm3]

My best painting was adding the magic white. Lol

[@chirp78]

Bill beats the devil out of it with gusto

[@nashhussan4568]

Wow... a lot more aggressive in his approach than Ross but man, a superior artist imo.

[@user-hp4eq8me7c]

الكسندر انته فنان راءع جزاك الله خيرا اتمنا لك طول العمر

[@johnterwilliger164]

Never ever forget the magic white. 😁😁😁😁😁

[@Saraxceno]

you can see the differends between Bill & bobs Ross clouds .... Bill is more expression in his work bob paint standard clouds

[@jayjolin1977]

Its funny how he applies the clouds..lol

[@clintwhatley7981]

Passion

[@tonyjackson5754]

Mr Alexander I think your paintings are beautiful and brilliant Tony JACKSON MACCLESFIELD CHESHIRE sk11 8uf

[@F-Taheri]

I love him so funny 😆

[@gunnarbiker]

I find it interesting that he doesn't do the X strokes on the sky. He kinda plops it on there. I grew up watching Bob Ross and just discovered Bill Alexander. This dude is entertaining. Yeah, I know he taught Bob Ross but their styles are completely different.

[@walterbravo281]

What kind of painting is that which you call "magic right"? Thanks for your answer

[@pwife4]

It's Magic White. I don't know a lot about it.

[@dinojay8410]

"Magic white" ... as a base medium to prepare the canvas for paint. The technique he is using is called the "wet on wet" technique .

[@girlfriend62360]

I miss him

[@j0394]

What size canvas does that look like?

[@geggs13]

40 Χ 30 I guess

[@pennyrice5254]

Can this technique be done with acrilics?

[@selahattinselcuk5440]

Very good 13:14 😃

[@elig57]

And to think this guy was in the Wehrmacht at one point and got out of the war by painting the wives of allied officers when he was in prison.

[@venus5743]

What is the magic he puts on the blank canvas?

[@DavidLewellen769]

Liquid clear/magic clear

[@jamesflake3557]

I miss bill

[@euei2864]

👍😀😀

[@pennyrice5254]

acrylics?

[@AAlexanderArt]

No this is oil paint. Thanks for asking.

[@NgaNguyen-yo3zf]

👍😂❤️

[@brotherdom1]

God is first place with Bill

[@goodluck2404]

Hello, everybody can tell me what's this..." magic right " , please?? :-)

[@juilescieg]

magic white. a more fluid white. look up on amazon or google for more info.

[@AAlexanderArt]

You can find Magic White in our store at Alexanderart.com.

[@frankberst9849]

The guy's so hyper compared to Bob lol

[@hardheadcat]

I thought bill was born in New York City

[@carlolsen783]

Notice he substitutes German words for the English ones. So he says schau, denk, and sieh instead of show, think and see. As a five year German student I'm LMAO.

[@staffkiel1657]

Bob Ross is indeed the softie, merchandising copycat. I really prefer Bill. I can understand his feelings about Bob Ross.. Bob Ross is merely showing, but Bill is actually teaching :-)

[@Saraxceno]

wtf was happends in his brain hahahaha 14:16

[@mainlymusicman]

Is he speaking English?

[@wastedtalent2000]

I love every eccentric molecule of Bill Alexander. Bob Ross was a plagiarist, a thief, and a lousy artist.

[@woerge]

bob ross copied all of him/it...shocking

[@snusgutt763]

Death have taken alot of good people from os. Now he is just a software. Program in the fingers tips.

[@willlouis6416]

man both bill and bob ross are boring no funny stuff no exciting stuff!
