I have been tired of most model...such a great post. I have been tired of most models. They need to let their character shine through. My first experience was in my first life drawing class as a 17 yr.old college student. The teacher was late (on purpose?), the model came in in a robe with a book. She took off her robe and revealed a rubenesque figure (in the days of Twiggy it was a shock). She sat down to read and we got used to the nude model quickly! Another model was a man in a beard. The men were to wear jock straps. (I had never seen a naked man!) This was his first time and he was nervous..so the teacher put a paper bag over his head! I could have a book full of nude model happenings (especially here in conservative Mormon land)..but there is a good book I bought in San Francisco called "Undressed Art" by Peter Steinhart. A fun read.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819844673551315071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598489002518349548.post-84851943427042400482011-02-11T20:32:29.268-08:002011-02-11T20:32:29.268-08:00I had to laugh - that is so funny.

He was very out of shape with a long graying beard that had not been trimmed in years. He had a worn old cane that was a masterpiece of personality in itself. Hand carved and with beautiful coloring. His brown eyes had hooded lids and to look into them I felt drawn into his soul. His body spoke to me of life expereinces. I only wish I could have given him the respect and honor with my rendition of him that he so rightly deserved.One Woman's Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583825153877354947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598489002518349548.post-68062732954364183002011-02-11T03:58:46.142-08:002011-02-11T03:58:46.142-08:00We think alike.

I also get really bored with most of our life models--they should all be forced to study Buchman's DVD and his book to learn how to pose. He has such a great model, doesn't he!donnamcmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09154652234566036294noreply@blogger.com
