I agree the model that can hold the pose rock steady is top of my list. Our poses aren't usually too difficult - though I know holding any position for 3 hours even with breaks gets painful. I would guess that it more that dancers have a greater tolerance for pain, than it is their greater strength but you would have to ask.Kathleen Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270559181258839289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-374006959766998629.post-14575598703834198432012-03-22T13:02:54.687-04:002012-03-22T13:02:54.687-04:00Yes, that's quite true about how the model'...Yes, that's quite true about how the model's expertise has a lot of influence over the finished figure drawing. The ones I am happiest with were drawn from a model with great lines, not beautiful, but with rock solid posing ability, who could hold a pose steadily without freeezing into it. another model, much more beautiful, with subtle lines was lovely to draw. Interestingly, both of them were dancers, so I guess their strength made quite a difference to their ability to pose for long periods, despite getting uncomfortable.<br /><br />Your work is lovely, and thank you for showing us. I like the contrast of the drawn/painted daffodils with the sharp photo image of them.Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.com
