Bob Ross did study under this guy. In fact, he capitalized on his techniques and made them gimmicky. They had a running feud for years. They ended up enemies. So much for "happy little trees".

@matrags Bob Ross did study with Bill. So did Buck Paulson, Lowell Speers, Diane Andre, Brenda Harris, and Robert Warren. I study with Robert Warren because he lives in my town.

The technique is called "alla prima" the dutch masters were doing it in the 1500s.

There are a ton of Bill's DVD's currently available.

Painting wet on wet was nothing new when Bill Alexander started doing it, but he more or less perfected what we know as wet on wet. Nobody else taught him although he did have some limited art instruction when he was an adult. He painted as a child and considering where he grew up, actual instruction at that time was probly unavailable.
