“Butter yourself up…”

Butter yourself up before you start the painting, you got to be ready, you can not be half dead. — Bill Alexander

Bill was always talking about “buttering yourself up”. What he meant, of course, was to talk to yourself, get yourself into the right mindset before you start painting. If you’re feeling down, sad, depressed, Bill tells us, in other videos, “don’t paint!”

Believe in yourself…use your creative power first on yourself and then on your canvas.
