Following the rather weird encounter modeling for the group of pupils in the cold dimly lit pub in Manchester my next modelling session shortly after was rather more regular

beach bum of my first e-mails, when I was searching for chances, was to a group run by the WEA near Chester and after a while the coach came back to me and asked me if I could do a session for her on a Wednesday afternoon beginning at 1:00 and running through to 4:00.
While I was really pleased to accept the request it did somewhat concern me as to whether I had enough experience to fill that amount of time with enough different poses given that this was a more proper and educational group compared to the preceding sessions I'd done.
After an exchange of e-mails the coach and I agreed a rough programme for the session which will begin with a series of about five poses of one minute each, followed by two or three standing presents lasting between five and fifteen minutes and a few seated poses lasting around twenty minutes. beach freedom would subsequently cause a short break to be followed by just one seated pose continuing for the rest of the session of about 50 minutes.


This at least gave me a chance to think of what I should do and also a chance to test out a few poses at home while timing myself to find out how long I could hold them. While not always an issue for the seated poses, the more dynamic standing poses can prove to be difficult and at times even debilitating with arms and or legs held in unusual places for any length of time starting to ache or cramp up.
So I turned up at the appointed time on the day and affirmed the planned programme together with the tutor and did the session as agreed. The artists, mainly ladies of a specific age, were all very enjoyable and were all very complimentary, which given that this was just my third session, gave me added confidence for the future.

Fortunately I had numerous art books and also scoured the net to find a great number distinct poses that I could use, so I managed to fill the sessions satisfactorily.
Since then beach girl 've been working with the coach for this particular group on a regular basis and have modeled for nearly twenty sessions. Luckily there has been some change in the artists attending over that time so I've really been able to replicate some of the poses more or less as I originally performed them or with only slight variation.)
