It's a dead draw, thanks to the opposite coloured bishops and Black's ruined pawn structure which renders the extra pawn useless. You were doing the right thing in putting the King on d3 and shuttling the Bishop back on forth on the d1-a4 diagonal; with that Black has no way through. The only (marginally) possible breakthrough for Blank would've been to play e6-e5-e4 and, with luck, lure the White King away from the queenside; that said, the White King would've been among the kingside pawns and eaten them up.
