Private booking, London, 10 December 2025

This one-to-one 4-hour private booking carried on from where our 4-hour session the day before had ended (read the 9 December blog for full background). Once again I was to maintain the same pose throughout, with a break every 20 minutes. Again the pose was to be captured both clothed and nude.

The difference today was that only for our first 20 minutes was I clothed. Thereafter, I remained nude whilst ever more fine lines were drawn over the main rendering of my figure on quality paper, which had been informed by an outline sketch on transparent paper prepared during the previous session.

All together, our two days completed one exercise from the book ‘The Natural Way to Draw‘ by Kimon Nicolaïdes. The relevant chapter was about halfway through the full text so there’s still a long way to go; more models will be required. I’ve been happy to play my part, and I’ll be happy to recommend the role when other models are invited.
