Bill Alexander paints a wonderful seascape part 2/3 oil painting art

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.

This not only teaches me the art, it reminds me of my childhood, watching Bill on Sunday afternoons. Happy :)

@jamesdeco1 It's a soft brissled paint brush. You can find it at any hardware store.

Seems like I'm in need of a fan brush.

what is the large brush

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.

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.
