First time I worked as a nude model was in the year of 1984 and since that time I have worked many thousands hours in a total of about 150 different schools and for other projects. From 1986 I am a member of

The classical jobs for a nude model are sketching (drawing) and sculpting and painting.

In SKETCHING you work in short poses for 5-20 minutes. Sometimes you can do a sequence and stop in positions for one minute each. You must have good balance for doing so!

DRAWINGS are usually longer poses for one or more hours or days. Sometimes they ask you for having a pose two months. When the artist is going to do a painting or sculpture, he normally starts with sketching and drawing in order to find out how your pose really is.
 

MODEL for SCULPTING is a very pleasant job! But it is very often dirthy in the room, but as model you have the opportunity to look on the back of the artists sculpture all the time. If you take a standing pose, you must be strong enough to hold that pose all the time. The podium is turned a little with some minutes interval and you will have to keep your pose then. You often are booked to keep one and same pose for 40-60 hours, sometimes for the some months five days a week. Not many people can manage to hold such a pose and a beginner model should not accept such poses.
 

MODEL for PAINTINGS is also a funny modeling for you. The pose often is for 40-60 hours. But now you have to look on a special point in the room all the time, but you can look on the painting when not modeling. Nowadays the artist use colours who are more healthy than before.

BODYPAINTING

The artists usually have waterbased makeup colours. Normally I am totally nude and all parts of my body are painted and it takes two or more hours, if the result should be good. Afterwards another or two hours for washing the coulors away from my body. Red coulors are difficult to get away from my skin. You can also use cheaper colours, for example childrens finger coulors but the result is not so good because of they are cracking.
