Out of your comfort zone

Trouble is you see all sorts and can't help comparing. I will never forget one female model we had. She was quite old, about 70ish I suppose. And always had a red flower tied in her pubic hair. Always fell asleep, so you had to cough loudly to wake her up. Art classes are always looking for good models. They are well paid also. Perhaps some GNers might consider it if they need to supplement their income .

I would need to be very hard up BB but a long time ago, my Mother did this and reflected that it was cold and boring.
My WI doesn’t do anything as exciting, I will suggest it at the next committee meeting.

Soooooo funny......thanks!!

Think I will apply to gilly's WI, could do with some excitement in my life

You could name it Gilly's Willy Sketch.

Smithy - Ha Ha! That really made me laugh..........I showed the picture to my husband and he just shrugged dismissively

My lazy side thinks how hard can it be, getting paid to sit around?

Oh probably should have added he did it to raise money for charity .

gillybob

I don't mean to rude, well I do really?

He looks like he is sat on the loo having a c--p.

Hey there POGS that was my very first attempt, I’ll have you know.....and I put a hell of a lot of effort into that

I was a life model myself a few years ago overseas..where Visual artists would pay for a holiday specifically to come and paint me and other life models. The artists themselves were usually about 50- 50 female to males.. and were very serious about their quest to paint a nude life model. I, otoh took much longer to not shake like a jelly with nerves when I first started doing it, then I just learned to tune it out, and get myself in a position where it wasn't so obvious I was shaking... I have to say some of the paintings were extremely unflattering.

Sadly dangly bits weren't really of a dangling size if you have him in proportion.

What a great evening though, your WI will find it hard

difficult to follow that one up.

You’ve cheered me up end gilly and that takes some doing looking at your drawing though I wondered if it was rather cold in the W I hall? Either that or I’ve been underestimating my husband. Very good effort though, well done ✔️

Tbh gmelon he wasn’t exactly .....how shall I put it ??? Erm .... in the front of the queue when willies were given out . ( hence my DH’s comment when he saw the drawing ). Or maybe I just wasn’t over generous I don’t know .

Our WI hall is really quite posh morethan2 none if your draughty old village halls for us Geordie lasses. Nice and warm too as my drawing suggests.

See ,*gmel on and gillybob* I said all this would lead to comparisons. Who are you comparing the model, bit and all you?

BBbevan
Comparing him with?

Well lets just say that my husbands dangly bits do have quite a dangle when in dangling mode.

Three adult sons seem to have been in the right place in the queue too.
(Accidental glimpses when sons lived at home and showered /bathed .)

Think I am oversharing a tad.

Gillybob
Bet the picture cheered your husband up no end.

Note to everyone with a man at home;
if ever faced with the life drawing class make sure you underestimate.

Oh I think it did gmelon I took it down from the fridge to protect the grandchildren but DH said he was happy incase anyone thought it was him !

gilly, perhaps this thread should combine to metric measurement thread

I'm just off to join the WI...
