Following the rather eccentric experience posing for the group of pupils in the cold dimly lit pub in Manchester my next modelling session shortly after was rather more regular

While I was very happy to accept the request it did somewhat concern me as to whether I had enough experience to fill that length of time with enough distinct poses given that this was a more formal and educational group compared to the previous sessions I'd done.
This would subsequently cause a short break to be followed by one seated pose lasting for the remainder of the session of about 50 minutes.
This at least gave me a chance to think of what I should do and likewise a chance to try a couple of poses at home while timing myself to discover 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 duration of time starting to ache or cramp up.
So I turned up at the designated time on the day and supported the planned programme together with the tutor and did the session as agreed. The artists, mainly ladies of a specific age, were all very pleasant and were all quite complimentary, which given that this was only my third session, gave me added confidence for the future.
Again I was quite pleased to agree but unexpectedly came to the realisation that in that intervening period I was really going to need to work out a lot more models to fill those three hour sessions.
Luckily I had a number of art books and also scoured the internet to find a great number distinct poses that I really could use, so I managed to fill the sessions satisfactorily.
Since then I've been working with the coach for this group on a regular basis and have posed for almost twenty sessions. Luckily there has been some change in the artists attending over that point so I've been able to repeat a number of the poses more or less as I originally performed them or with only little variation.)
