Hi! I am setting up a life drawing group, at the Summer Hill Community Centre. I am looking for reliable life drawing models to pose on Tuesday Nights from 6.30 pm til 8 pm, if you are interested in modeling or know of a model network, any asistance would be great.
Details:

Affordable life drawing classes open for everyone from complete beginner to advanced artists needing practice.

Please join us every Tuesday at the Summer Hill Community Centre from 6:30 pm to 8 pm. This, not for profit, life drawing group meetings cost $5, to cover the room rental, model fees and public liability insurance. If there is any surplus in funds it will be put towards the purchase of art supplies and easels.

Term 1; starting on Tuesday the 31st of January, finishing on the 4th of April

So is it tuition, and/or do your own thing? I go to a group Monday nights already, but this could be good occassionally, 6.30 a little early, but also would suit a friend from Newtown who's been looking for a group like this. Will it be a turn up and pay affair, or pay a term in advance?

It will be a turn up and pay $5 for this first term and I'll see how it goes. Next term might be different.

Cheers KC

There are many regular models that read this forum.

Hi Kirsty,
I was just doing a search to find out where i could get some info on modeling for art classes. I have never done it before, I am very interested. I am 40 years old and very curvy. If you are interested, i would like to speak to you. If not, do you know anyone else who might be.

Thanks Kelley

Hi Kelly, Tony and everyone,
I'm sorry I don't have a hotmail address but I can be contacted on kirsty@freshmedia.com.au

I am interested in all kinds of models. If you give me your email address I can contact you and answer any questions you have. I also need to know what models fees are as I am currently running a 'not-for-profit' group but I don't want models to undercharge for their time.

Cheers Kirsty.
P.S. Hi, Tony are there any model (contact) lists on the internet?

Hi Kirsty,

The standard model fee is $20-25 per hour.
Is that affordable?
There are no comprehensive contact lists for models, but this forum ranks high and I am sure you will get lots of contacts. I will contact you via your email and give you a few contacts.
Regards,
Tony

Hi KC,

I still solved same problem with models, i can´t found anybody who wanted to stay for me. I´m student at art scholl in Prague and I can´t find them. I found very good websites where are lots of poses and it is useful for me. Maybe they help you too: www.female-anatomy-for-artist.com and www.human-anatomy-for-artist.com I use them with my schoolmates and it is more cheaper them models for us Laughing
