In these three hour sessions with two-fifteen minute breaks, we have no clue as to who our model for the the day is. The model usually shows up a few minutes before 9am and we leave it up to the model to pose as he or she wishes. There may be a few adjustments to the pose but in most cases the model makes the decision. Nevertheless, what’s good for one artist may not be good for another and it may take 5-10 minutes before we begin painting. So there is no preparedness whatsoever on our part and we have no idea what the model will be wearing. There are often five artists and usually three in the group paint head portraits.
