Models
We’re always happy to add a new model to our figure and portrait drawing sessions. Please keep in mind, we receive a large number of applications and cannot answer all of them. Whenever we need a model, we’ll reach out to those who applied.
Qualities we’re looking for in a model:
- Punctual and well organized. Should arrive 15 minutes before the session so that we can start promptly on time.
- Ability to hold up to 20-minute standing contrapposto poses. Please look it up if you don’t know what it means.
- In addition to costumed sessions, our studio holds drawing sessions from a nude model, therefore the model should be comfortable with this.

- Availability on weekdays. Our portrait drawing sessions are held on Wednesdays from 10:30am to 1:30pm and our figure drawing sessions are held on Fridays from 10:30am to 1:30pm. This is the starting point for new models, we do not schedule new models for weekends or workshops until they model for several Friday drawing sessions.
- Ability to drive to the studio location in Carrollton, TX (3306 Wiley Post, Studio 104). We do not hold online modeling sessions, in-person only.
