Frequently Asked Questions

What is 15 Minute Realism?

15 Minute Realism is a live portrait sketching experience crafted by a highly skilled classically trained artist. Clients are drawn in charcoal in just 15 minutes. Each portrait is elegant, captures likeness, and is ready to take home immediately.

Where are you based, and do you travel?

We are based out of Oregon, and can travel everywhere within the USA. Our setup is simple and transportable. Travel fees apply depending on location.

Do clients need to sit for their portrait?

Yes, and that’s part of what makes it so special. We value the tradition of drawing from life.

What does your setup consist of, and what materials do you use?

We keep our basic setup minimal with options for customization. Two chairs, a small table, and adequate lighting. The drawings are made with high quality charcoal on archival-quality paper and packaged in a protective sleeve with matting.

Can you do group or couple portraits?

Couple or group portraits take more time, so if that’s something you have in mind, let us know ahead of time and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
