I'm not flexible, but strong - with a physic from hard work, rather than gym-bobbing the muscles. Modelling for long poses (my first was 4 hours with 2hours being x4 30 mins) is 'hard work' and my muscles felt it after the session for a few days.

Hope you don't mind if I post a link to this aricle on my blog. I think it'll be very useful to others. <br /><br />I also occionally teach meditation, and one of my favorite techniques is called Trataka--basically staring at a dot on the wall. For a visual person, it cna be incredibly relaxing and focussing (but figure drawing is much more fun!). It's in my book "Everybody's Meditation Book" available on amazon.comJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278520315231779846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676158812436819032.post-87671215260431205652010-03-29T10:01:06.809-05:002010-03-29T10:01:06.809-05:00Very good post.

They'd get 2 breaks & by the 3rd, it was time to start breaking down.semi234https://www.blogger.com/profile/16285987609138307282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676158812436819032.post-42305196983521115532010-03-28T05:23:12.692-05:002010-03-28T05:23:12.692-05:00Hi

Come by and let's share thoughts and ideas.<br />http://drlightness.blogspot.com/Alex B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06699973119866294862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676158812436819032.post-30068854114209653322010-03-22T12:26:53.701-05:002010-03-22T12:26:53.701-05:00You have my admiration in this respect. lol

My best is about 19 minutes. but I have been able to sit still for about 15 minutes, before a muscle would cramp, or a event would draw my attention back to the real world. usually a sharp sound, or a bug. <br /><br />to accomplish this for 40 Min? WOW.<br /><br />Great article.Sullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17024245084380119441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676158812436819032.post-72812018701950984312010-03-21T09:10:23.406-05:002010-03-21T09:10:23.406-05:00I am an art model in Toronto.

U used to use it as an opportunity to fill in between freelance graphic design gigs as that was my main career. 8 years ago I gave up graphic design for various reasons and I became a full time art model. the peacefulness and inner reflection has helped me to overcome many issues and blockages, while also allowing me time to think on many other things, <br /><br />If I am working on an elaborate project in my own life, I can do all the initial planning stages in my mind while posing. <br /><br />I can use the time to ponder may problems and have at times come to great understandings about many things. <br /><br />at the same time I work for some of the top animation schools in the entire world, and knowing that the students are learning largely because i am comfortable enough with my own body to pose nude for them is wonderful as I know that they are learning because of me. I am the inspiration which creates great art and great artists. <br /><br />I love my career. I will probably be an art model in some form or other as long as I live.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876943417380747537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676158812436819032.post-45945860046877075562010-03-20T00:58:55.551-05:002010-03-20T00:58:55.551-05:00Great post!

I think it is true that modeling for fine art photography has a lot in common with modeling for drawing and painting -- both are about the "cogent, expressive and diverse poses" as you say -- but the pace makes the experiences very different.<br /><br />The duration of photography poses means more experimentation is possible. Try this variation and that variation. If a pose is a dud it's no big deal, but sometimes the spontaneous idea is the winner. A pose for a 25 minute drawing or a multiple-day painting is a bigger commitment.<br /><br />I like what you said about finding the balance between sustainability and keeping it interesting. <br />Judging by your first-class photography portfolio, I'm sure you're a big hit in the drawing sessions where you model.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991144956435820182noreply@blogger.com
