Oh, I thank you so much for uploading more videos with William Alexander recently 🥰 I check day by day if there are more of Alexander's MIGHTY STROKES 😉 and I'm sooooo happy, so excited to see a new episode everyday 😊 Fantastic job - the painting and uploading the video - thank you once again
@@AAlexanderArt ...Dawn, You are awesome for this, both of you. We painters out here who love Bill Alexander are recieving such a gift for you doing this. Most I believe feel the same way. Thanks Dawn. I will probably start this painting this week. It's awesome.
At some point these original video tapes were store tails in, the audio bleed through is post actual rather than pre actual if they had been stored tails out.
A MASTER SWORDSMAN WITH A BRUSH!!!!!!BEST TEACHER THAT YOU CAN FIND ! PLEASE BRING HIM BACK OUT OF THE CLOSET AS HE USED TOO SAY I FIND MYSELF DRAWN IN BY HIM. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING HIS ENJOYMENT WITH US!!!!!
If you are Oil painting - OIL painting, at home, make sure you paint in a room or area that is separate from the rest of your home, such as a garage or attic. This is because the fumes from the actual Linseed oil in the paint are very powerful and can give you a headache. As for solvents, you don't actually need solvents to remove paint from your brushes. You can wash the paintbrushes in more clear oil, then washing detergent, then warm water. Oil residues after that which may remain in the bristles will serve to protect and maintain the bristles;- your brushes will last longer. If you have to use solvents, you can use odourless thinners.
At the beginning, was this black canvas wet? and if so, what was used? I admire Mr. Alexander and would love to create a painting like this one. Thanks to all involved in making and posting this video(s) and thanks to Mr. Alexander.
Edwin Quinones No, it was painted with black gesso or acrylic and allowed to dry completely. He uses transparent colors over it. Not special paint, the usual yellow, red, etc.
I was wondering, were there some shows that weren't saved or able to be used for digital download? I've searched and searched and can't find a few to buy that I remember watching back then.
@@AAlexanderArt Ok thank you! I actually just found lots on Vimeo for sale, although for more than what you charge. I will send you a description of the ones I still didn't see. Sadly I don't remember the names.
I really like Bill's videos. Used to watch him on TV. It's a pity his channel does not have more viewers. The Ross dude gets millions of views... not as good.
It's kinda funny. In a handful of episodes of Joy of Painting Bob Ross literally says he invented the black canvas painting style and says things like "I can't believe nobody ever thought of this" and "Getting this look is why I invented the Black Gesso." Surely, he knew he wasn't the first person to make a canvas black and then apply transparent colors to it. It's just weird that he'd say that on multiple occasions when he was well aware of Bill Alexander and learned the technique from him. And it isn't like he was just claiming to have come up with his own black gesso variation. He flat out says he can't believe nobody painted on a black canvas before.
It's about time someone released more of Bill's paintings for us to enjoy! Thank you very much!
A big Thank You to Alexander Art for posting these episodes! They are very calming during the Covid-19 crisis.

What amazes me is how detailed someone with this much imagination, confidence, and skill can do this in 27 minutes. :D
You'd be surprised what a human can do under pressure.
@@morgancalvi6675 Don't forget the cabins lol.
mom can’t I’m😂
Lovely opportunity to keep busy during this special time. Thanks, thanks for sharing with us this great video.
Nicely done! If Salvador Dali had painted this it would be worth millions.
As usual, wasn’t sure where he was going with this one and VOILA...another masterpiece unfolds before my eyes. Amazing!
Laurie, you're awesome. Thanks for another great Bill Alexander video art lesson.
Condee Rogers thank you but I must confess! Dawn is the one working so hard to upload these! 😊

@@goldslinger Thanks
Just started watching Bill’s videos. I prefer Bob Ross’ laid back style but Bill is a much better painter.
Alexa tells me he is 105 yrs old, she's been sniffing too much turps !
When’s the next shows flash up on the screen it covers up his painting.
I was wondering, were there some shows that weren't saved or able to be used for digital download? I've searched and searched and can't find a few to buy that I remember watching back then.
A few didn’t make it! If you want to send me a list of shows you are looking for I can see if we have them. Laurie@alexanderart.com.

He never said he invented it lol
BILL WAS THE ORIGINAL
Yes and Bill was a Master Artist with decades of experience. It shows in his work. Thank you for your comment.
