what is a blind contour portrait?

Drawn without looking down at the paper, this single-line style of portrait is created in 3 minutes or less, capturing the essence of each person I sit with.

  • Continuous line drawing of a person's face and upper body, with abstract and minimalistic style.

    “I felt witnessed and appreciated. It’s intimate in the sense that there's vulnerability between the artist and the subject. There’s fun in it too, because neither person knows how it's going to turn out. It’s a few minutes journey that we go on together, and the destination is a surprise.”

    - David L.

  • Abstract single-line drawing of a face with detailed eyes and hair

    “Allison Kunath SEES you. While steadily holding your gaze she traces your angles, contours, shapes, and, light. It’s a joy to be seen in this way and a delight to discover what she has created when she finally lifts her pen. I treasure my Allison Kunath blind contour portraits more than any photograph or painting that has been made of me.”
