    I watched this lovely program every day after school, and I really paid attention. He made me dream of painting when I was little, and as soon as I was old enough to actually begin, all of the episodes that I absorbed earlier really stuck with me. To this day, I still paint, and I am an old lady now ❤

    Bill certainly is the master. He left his mark for future generations. I still cannot figure out how he can paint so much in less than a half hour.

    I love it every time Bill mentions what will sell (and sometimes what won't). It is some of the most valuable advice in his videos.
  • @RichardM1366
    This is the best painting on the channel. It lets you learn each piece of equipment and it gives you confidence! That is how you get good!
  • Thank you so much for sharing these videos, it’s just such a lovely experience to hear Bill’s voice.

    I love Bob Ross greatly, and have watched close to every episode. Bob is actually a type of therapy for me, and I greatly admire and respect what he brought to the TV with his calm, peaceful demeanor. I would never hold ill will towards him. He remains rather unmatched in that category. But the fact remains that he largely cloned everything from his original teacher Bill Alexander--in technique, style, and overall approach to the art in the same time constraints. I greatly enjoy watching Bill, as he was and is the modern pioneer. He started the whole darn thing, and I'm old enough to remember the show.
  • Beautiful country scene! Always smile listening to his stories while he creates!

    Effortless! This chap is the Master. What a talent!
  • Love the story Bill made up as he went along. Poor Mr. Hillgruber. 😂 Bill has done justice to him with this beautiful work of art. Bless you Bill. If it weren't for you I never would have had the courage to pick up a paintbrush. ❤❤❤
  • Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for sharing bills amazing paintings

    I love Bob Ross but Bill originated this technique and trained Bob. I love them both. Bill should get more recognition for firing in the art! The inventor of happy little trees and the almighty brush! Love you Bill!
  • Divota, osveženje, drukčije, vrlolelpo❤❤! Ovog puta ste posebno inspirisani. Očigledno proleće čini svoje! 😂
  • I watched it with great excitement and pleasure. This is a very realistic painting and the details are fascinating. I wish you were alive right now and I had a dream to paint with you one day.
