I watched this lovely program every day after school, and I really paid attention. He made me dream of painting when I was little, and as soon as I was old enough to actually begin, all of the episodes that I absorbed earlier really stuck with me. To this day, I still paint, and I am an old lady now ❤

Bill certainly is the master. He left his mark for future generations. I still cannot figure out how he can paint so much in less than a half hour.

[@asdasx392]

I love it every time Bill mentions what will sell (and sometimes what won't). It is some of the most valuable advice in his videos.

[@Mindfulness.Voyage]

Thank you so much for sharing these videos, it’s just such a lovely experience to hear Bill’s voice.

[@AAlexanderArt]

You are very welcome. I’m glad we have them to share with you.

[@RichardM1366]

This is the best painting on the channel. It lets you learn each piece of equipment and it gives you confidence! That is how you get good!

[@AAlexanderArt]

Thank you Richard. I love this video. I lost Bill’s original “Hillgrueber’s Farm painting in a house fire.

[@RichardM1366]

Gosh that is rough! That would have been priceless.

I love Bob Ross greatly, and have watched close to every episode. Bob is actually a type of therapy for me, and I greatly admire and respect what he brought to the TV with his calm, peaceful demeanor. I would never hold ill will towards him. He remains rather unmatched in that category. But the fact remains that he largely cloned everything from his original teacher Bill Alexander--in technique, style, and overall approach to the art in the same time constraints. I greatly enjoy watching Bill, as he was and is the modern pioneer. He started the whole darn thing, and I'm old enough to remember the show.

[@theheritagehousesc]

Beautiful country scene! Always smile listening to his stories while he creates!

[@wgmaddocks]

Effortless! This chap is the Master. What a talent!

[@jacquelineireland2273]

Love the story Bill made up as he went along. Poor Mr. Hillgruber. 😂 Bill has done justice to him with this beautiful work of art. Bless you Bill. If it weren't for you I never would have had the courage to pick up a paintbrush. ❤❤❤

[@AAlexanderArt]

Aww thank you for your comment and your appreciation of Bill.

Thank you Mr Hillgruber!

[@theartist4557]

I love Bob Ross but Bill originated this technique and trained Bob. I love them both. Bill should get more recognition for firing in the art! The inventor of happy little trees and the almighty brush! Love you Bill!

[@AAlexanderArt]

Thank you for your comments.

[@marshashoemake1246]

I loved this one!!!

Bob Ross stole everything from Bill. Everything.

[@tigadirt]

Dunno if I'd say he stole it, wasn't he his teacher? More like ross was an excellent student who was heavily inspired and for what reason exavtly I don't know but gained a wider audience.

[@SKarlsson]

[@roncaruso931]

@tigadirt I don't know if Ross was his student. I have seen many of Bob Ross TV shows, and not once does he thank Bill.

[@tigadirt]

@@roncaruso931 no i did have the same thought myself

[@tigadirt]

@@SKarlsson true, it does almost seem surprisingly out of characture for him not to have givin at least a nod to whom came before
