“I've been planning for 15 years and have seen the trend of live painting / live portraiture ebb and flow but I've never seen somebody do what you do - it's unique, creative, and the end result is something a guest actually wants to frame and keep.”

what is a blind contour portrait?

Blind contour portraits are drawn with one continuous line, without looking at the paper, focusing entirely on the subject.

The process results in a whimsical, abstract, & expressive portrait that celebrates imperfection and spontaneity - capturing the essence of the moment (& the person) in a truly unique way.
