I found this painting on Alexander Art and found the topic interesting. The tutorial was available on the net. While looking, I noticed that there are big differences between the picture and the tutorial, so I tried to find a middle ground, relatively close to Bill's idea and yet, as always, changed something to my taste. Other mountains,shadows, colors adapted, etc. It was already a challenge to try it. All in all, I am relatively happy with the result. I hope the old master would like it and you like it too, my version of looking for Gold by Bill Alexander. As always totally fresh from 25 min ago.
Canvas, 24 x 30 cm (. 9.45 x 11.80 inch ) 2 x white Gesso, grinded 240/400, liquid white , time 3.5 Hours

Hey Sandy , Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪trank you so much 👍🏼
Good job Dirk, I know this episode and it is quite a challenging one. Yet didn't try it.
I can explain the difference between the pictures on the homepage of Alexander Art and the TV episode. On the homepage almost every time the book version (much more detailed and better worked out) is shown, the TV version is much faster finished and most of the time it is not that perfect. It is the same with Bob Ross too.
I have done a lot of research on Alexander, not easy because nowadays almost no one remembers him. Currently I am reading his biographical book. Though it will take me some time as it is only available in English.
Amazing
Hey Tom .Als erstes vielen Dank .Ich möchte mal sagen in diesem speziellen Fall finde ich die Tutorial Fassung sogar besser . Das Bild auf Alexander Art sieht so zusammen gesetzt aus und die Schatten sind mir zu extrem gesetzt und die Berge im Hintergrund waren auch nicht so meins aber wie immer sehr subjektiv. Ich hoffe du haust demnächst wieder eins raus ich werde drauf warten . Fire in my Friend 👍🏼🇩🇪🇦🇹
Hey Daddio, thank you very much , Glad you like it👍🏼🇩🇪
LOVE THE CABINS DIRK..MIGHT NEED ONE SOON...LOL
Super job Dirk! I really like this composition of Bill’s and want to give it a go too. 👍🇺🇸🇩🇪
Hey Pietro, let me know ,you can stay overnight at any time,👍🏼🇩🇪
sounds great my friend!
Thanks Brian, I can say that the cabin combo was a challenge. I'm very excited about your version. Also look at the picture on Alexander Art .This is already very different compared to the turtorial .( Water, shades)👍🏼🇩🇪🇺🇸
An honor ,P.👍🏼🇩🇪
Nice.
Thanx.,abha👍🏼🇩🇪
Very special painting Dirk, indeed not an easy one I assume.
Yes, you're right, Jos. It was one of the more difficult tasks. I hope you like it anyway 👍🏼🇩🇪
Awesome work! I love watching Bill. NO MERCY! 😆
Good evening from Germany, Cosmo👍🏼🇩🇪 You're right, No mercy and fire it in. Glad you like it.
Guten tag! My family is from Sonthofen. I was lucky enough to travel there once. I love Germany! Tschüssi!
Hey Cosmo, I come from North Rhine-Westphalia, the Ruhr area. Sometimes the world is really small😎🇩🇪🇺🇸Tschüss
I looooove this scene!!! 😍 Super work my friend!!! 🙌🏼 You did a great job here! Any chance you can send me the book tutorial and picture (since the tv one doesn't look the same)? I'd love to try it. 😬 nancy.t.zimmerman@gmail.com.
Hey Beauty, First off all I want to thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately, I don't have a book, otherwise I would have liked to email it. The picture is on Alexander Art and the tutorial on YouTube . I'll send you the picture, then you don't need to search👍🏼🇩🇪
I’m enjoying the Alexander artwork Dirk :) very nicely done. He has such a fascinating story. You captured his piece here nicely
Good Morning from Germany, Daniel. Thank you so much. That was a challenge 👍🏼🇩🇪
I was going back through your posted paintings and found this one. I love it. On of my favorite paintings.
HeyBob, first of all thank you very much for making the effort to get back to look. Secondly, I can tell you that it was one of my most difficult pictures so far. But you know, no mercy and fire in 👍🏼🇩🇪
