Format Synopsis:

Bil Paints shows the artistic process of creating a painting from the inspiration to the finished canvas.  Each episode opens with a source of inspiration that determines the artistic style. The sources of inspiration are derived from the everyday world around us all. As Bil works through the artistic process he inserts history, technique, and humor. Along the way he lubricates the flow of creativity by mixing up cocktails that are historically and location appropriate. Each episode ends with a completed original painting.
