Bill Alexander paints a wonderful path in the forest part 3/3 wet on wet 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.

@OnlyBlix Start of fall? IDK. I see your point but I just think he has no fear of color, he uses colors he likes to see together to make an environment the way he wants to see it. You can tell he really digs a lot of contrast. I guess thats why they call it taking an "artistic license." I personally like to see it, because it creates something more interesting then just going out and taking a photograph of a path. Which can be cool too, but hey why not embellish reality...sometimes it needs it.

Not that I can do this, but is anyone else bothered by the color he used for highlights/sunshine?

It looks like half the painting is during fall, and the other half is a lush dark forest. The light has too much red in it, no? He has the bush in the back and the open area in the back perfectly done.
