Hi to all, thank you for your messages all of you. I have confirmed the people coming to the session on Feb 1, and they are listed below. Sam Windsor 10:30-13:30 Rebekah Wilkinson – whole session Sharon Rose – whole session Anthony Ross – whole session Joyce Dalton – whole session Joan Bolen – whole session If for any reason those listed can not come, please send me a note ASAP. Thank you everyone. It will be a fun but intense session. Because these are new models, I am asking that you re-read the member conduct (under the membership tab) and the model conduct (under the model tab) on the webpage, http://livessence.com. We’ll start them out right. On second thought, even if you aren’t attending the session next week on Feb 1, you should read the member code of conduct and the model code of conduct! If you have any questions, please do forward back. All the best, Julia Hi to all, just a short note to let you know I will be conducting Model Training on Saturday Feb 1 from 930 to 1330 hrs. I will be finishing training four models. Each model will be in the studio for about an hour. I am hoping for a max of five artists to come for the entire duration, or part of, to help finalize the training. Your task will be to draw, and potentially to give feedback during the five to ten minute discussion time at the end of the model’s hour. Model poses will be mostly short, from gestures to a max of five minutes. This will be a closed session. If you are interested please do reply with the times you would be interested. You can come for one hour, two, three or all four hours. The first five members to respond will be given priority. Thank you, Julia
