I only managed to work with this model once, and I was truly grateful for her generosity in agreeing to work with me when I was so new to figure drawing.

I began treating the session the way I had seen sessions run in my TegneSkoleKBH sessions, beginning with very short pose durations of 30 seconds and then a minute and slowly increasing.

She very kindly pointed out that she could happily hold a pose for longer, which I really needed at that stage in my learning.

This also convinced me of the value of being able to collaborate with a model and that hiring private models was the right choice for me.
