Bill Alexander paints a wonderful path in the forest part 1/3 wet on wet oil painting

William (Bill) Alexander was born in 1915 in East Prussia. As a youth he used his artistic talents to paint carriages and murals for local aristocrats. After the war, Bill and his family immigrated to North America to pursue their dream of building a home and to share Bills gift of painting.

Bill and his wife, Margaret, traveled throughout the United States and Canada teaching painting and making friends, often selling paintings to meet living expenses along the way. During this time Bill worked hard to develop his wet-on-wet technique and products. He developed the base medium Magic White, extra-thick oil paints, and special palette knives and brushes. These products work together to help artists, even a beginning artist, create beautiful scenes on the canvas.

By 1974, when he completed his first Emmy-winning Magic of Oil painting television show, Bills dream had become a reality. He had built himself a home in North America a home in the hearts of thousands who discovered with Bills help that they could have the almighty power to fire in and be happy painters too. Today, Bill continues to teach the world to paint through his television shows available on DVD.

Wow! What this guy can do with only one brush is nothing short of amazing. Thanks, Patton Oswalt, for letting me know about Bill Alexander.

@furiousajp Still, they were featured on his show, and their paintings should still be included here...

@jeanmunn Have you seen Robert Warren paint (since you mentioned his name here)? He has his own website and has a different line of paints other than what Bill Alexander had, but the question is, did Mr. Warren use those colors or the Alexander line on 'The Art Of...'?
