Original Creation

Glacier Bay - Bill Alexander

Tom0779 02 Aug 2024

This was really a tough one. From my subjective experience I think it is in the top three of the toughest paintings I did so far.
Bill makes it look so easy but I felt like I struggled the whole time. Nevertheless I try to finish the paintings from the book β€šThe Art of Bill Alexander and Lowell Spears, Series 1β€˜ (only the Bill episodes) and thus I had to do this as well.
The picture gives you practice in painting mountains with the knife and in creating depth by layers and layers.
Again I am happy that I gave this one a try even I was a bit afraid of it before.
This is oils on canvas panel 16 x 20 inches (40 x 50 cm)

the depth is super effective, I immediately got a feeling of 3D from each of the rock faces. Also, great photograph.

This is fantastic and I agree πŸ’― with Jeff πŸ‘βœŒοΈ

Thank you Jeff and Brian. I am glad you enjoyed it!

Spectacular painting!

Looks absolutely freezing cold. Great lighting.

Thank you Jos and Landscapepainter! @Jos: maybe this episode is something for you as well? There is a video on the Alexander Art channel on YouTube.

So fabulous and also agree with Jeff!

I think this is spectacular, especially your foreground rocks.

Excellent!

Super schΓΆne tiefe , toll gemalt . Sicherlich eins der schwersten πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

Thank you Sandy, Kerri, Cold and Dirk.
@Dirk: yes I also think this is one of the most complex ones by Bill.
