In this transformative 4-day experience, contemporary painter Daniel Bilmes invites you behind the curtain of his dynamic portrait process, where classical foundations meet modern abstraction.
Explore an unconventional planning process that replaces hesitation with clarity. Using unique tools and inventive methods, Daniel shows you how to build structure, gesture, and energy simultaneously, allowing realism and abstraction to coexist in powerful tension. Each stage of the painting is intentional, yet open to surprise.
Expect strong design, confident mark-making, and a deeper understanding of how to construct a portrait. This workshop is ideal for artists who want their portraits to feel expressive, contemporary, and unmistakably their own.
At the end of the workshop, you will leave with new tools, a repeatable framework, and a refreshed way of approaching portrait painting from beginning to end.
