I remember him and the "magic white" but didn't realize that there was trouble between Bill Alexander and Bob Ross:

When I was a kid this fellow, Jon Gnagy, was the TV art guy:

And of course in real life (1960s grade school) it was Mr. Caucutt:

But Mr. Caucutt wasn't just teaching sketching or painting. He also had more of a build / manual training kind of focus. We got to use hammers and saws as well as brushes, crayons and pencils - it was fun until "clean up" :)
