Hang on, he's on a really nice looking hillside, why doesn't he paint that? Seems a bit daft to be going out to paint on location when it's not the location you're doing the painting
The point of this technique is that it requires little skill or artistic ability to implement them. This fits with the business model. Bill Alexander chose these techniques for that reason. He teaches Bob Ross, Bob Ross needs little or now talent to copy the whole business model, lol. He just has to re teach the techniques Bill Alexander taught, and set up the same type shop. Timing probably played a part too.
Bob Ross trained under this guy, and stole his whole business model. He thanks Bill in one of his episodes, but, stealing a guys idea and livelihood is thank you enough :/. Great idea though. He develops a nice technique that's easy to teach and requires supplies that he creates to implement. Free advertising on PBS leads to video, private lesson, and art supply sales. You can see why Bob Ross would want to steal it.
Bill is a better artist than Bob Ross, but the appeal of Bob Ross is his gentle demeanor and the relaxing atmosphere of the show. I'm not saying that Bill doesn't do that; I guess Bob Ross just appealed more to the general public.
Hell yeah, this dude is a great artist, and is entertaining not because of his accent, but the words he chooses to describe how he's painting this or that.
I can't wait to make a splash and attempt to fire this work of art into the canvas. Practice makes perfect! Bill (the Happy Painter (RIP) always delivered first class teaching methods with so much zest, passion and fun. Looking forward to part 3.

I love William Alexander's videos but the ad at the end is simply annoying. So, cheesy after watching a great video. For god's sake, tone it down.

Joy to watch, I so wish a painter of your calibre would do a tutorial of painting under the sea, like dolphins swimming to the surface.
