Episode #37 Daniel Bilmes

Daniel Bilmes is a portrait artist based in LA in the United States. His work is unlike anything I've seen. He creates portraits in oils that look as though they've been stitched together like embroidery. How often can we say that there's a unique approach to painting? Perhaps Daniel has found that unique form of expression? We not only talked about the technical side of painting, giving me an opportunity to geek out on some new colours and approaches, but we took a dive into Daniel's past and learned about his origins, teaching at his father's art school from the age of 15... This conversation even covered ground on the education system at large and how important early influences are.
