Paint in Motion
Workshop | Available
In this three-day workshop, students will explore painting techniques with emphasis placed on personal style development, designing a process to be more in tune with who you are–your personality and aesthetics. Working with live models, oil paint will be used to explore and understand different strategies for painting the human form. Subject matter will include paint application, composition, color mixing, value control, glazing, mood, and expression–as well as artistic analysis and interpretation. Multiple demonstrations and one-on-one critiques will cover a variety of stages in the painting process including panel and surface preparation, using unusual tools for mark making, textures, focal points and finishing touches. Creating a finished painting is not a single act but a process that requires both strategy and spontaneity.

Daniel Bilmes
Daniel Bilmes is a contemporary painter, working in Los Angeles. His approach is characterized by deep personal exploration, combining realism with elements of symbolism and abstraction. Through tactile textures and delicate expressions, his paintings weave together the magical and mundane. His work is at once hopeful and brooding. Realistic and symbolic. Somewhere between the vitality of the Russian circus and the gravitas of a Churchill speech.
Daniel began his art education at the age of 8 under the tutelage of his father, the respected artist and educator, Semyon Bilmes. Being immersed in art from such an early age had a profound impact on his personal growth and creativity, laying a lasting foundation of curiosity that continues to drive and inform his work today.
