Originally posted by FMF I 'worked' as a model for a life drawing class at an elderly people's art club, sitting motionless for three hours, three times a week.

It seems rather a long time. Our models sat for no longer than an hour and depending on the pose had a break after 30 minutes.

Yes. It was rather a long time. And the incident that ~ thankfully ~ brought it to an end, happend in the blink of a weary eye and a flash of long teeth.

I got transferred to a factory with a outlet retail department , I tell you ,making tortoise skin shoes was the worse, but not half as bad as having to watch the customers after buying a pair of tortoise skin shoes taking two hours to leave the shop ! ..

Maybe it has to do with some chemical released by the teeth decay.
It's a good job you are here to show everyone what real edgy wit is.

I assume they were painting nude. They'd liked you, that's why the had prolonged time for posing. You must have had felt lust in old buggers' eyes as bunch of crawling leeches on your young, firm, tempting body...!

It's possible to approach the painting of a nude in the same way as one would an undulating landscape whereby you use line and tone to delineate the form. Painting is an exercise of pushing back and pulling forward with colour. Plump bodies are far more interesting to paint than skinny ones. I doubt whether there was a lot of lust in looking at his body but rather a lust for the smell and excitement of applying the luscious paint onto the virgin canvas to create those wonderful flesh tones.
