Models are required by the Jersey Society of Artists mostly during the winter at a number of different sessions, During the day on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday and in the evening on a Thursday.
The main requirement is an ability to sit still. Each session is 2 & half hrs long. The needs of the model is ALWAYS a priority and taken into consideration, with comfort breaks and coffee, heating etc provided. Payment is :- Models are often elderly or disabled, as a face which has character is interesting. However, if you are younger, reasonably fit and supple you may be asked to hold a more demanding pose, obviously the artists prefer a more complicated challenge. We have a variety of sessions:- clothed, unclothed, moving, portrait and full figure. You will never be asked to do anything which you are unhappy with; the choice is yours. Contact:- |
Skill OneSettle yourself comfortably, if you are unsure about your ability to hold the pose suggested, tell the group. After 2 hours the pressure on one spot can be painful.

Skill TwoDon't expect the painting to look like you, it is the artists skill in bring out what they want which is the priority.
