Home of the Bill Alexander Wet-on-Wet Painting Method
Boy…is this a difficult concept for beginning painters! I know it was for me. And here’s Bill in this video clip covering the entire canvas with black! It LOOKS like he’s putting on a lot of paint, but listen to him scrubbing the paint into the canvas. That paint is going in deep so it will stay thin. A sure sign you have too much paint is when your next layer starts to slide, or, as Bill says in this clip, you create mud.
YOU TOO CAN PAINT!

Yes this tip is so vital for beginners in the art of wet on wet oil painting
using Bill’s technique with magic white. Another tip that has proved invaluable to me was to begin using Alexander Oil paints. I received my Alexander tubes of oil paints a few months back….. and what a difference. The stiffer, thicker oil paints produce wonderful results. Much more controllable and producing such increased detail in mountains, trees and such than the thinner oils I had used for some time. Fantastic results.
