life drawing in perth

Model Info

I no longer run my own session (due to life just generally getting in the way).

If you are interested in being a life drawing model I recommend you try reaching out to the session runners I have mentioned on the other pages to see if they are looking for any new models.

If I have posted their phone number, maybe just send them a text introducing yourself, and if there is an email provided, it would be best to reach out to them that way to introduce yourself and maybe share the following information about yourself:
Age
Height and weight
Photo (doesn’t have to be nude, I find a bathing suit or light clothing to be best as a nude photo in the email can sometimes come at inopportune times, such as at work)
Extent of experience (how long have you been modelling for, or if you haven’t modelled before, do you have a background that would benefit you such as an active lifestyle, dancer, athlete, artist, etc)
Reason for wanting to model
Availability
Reliability (reliability is really, really important: here is nothing worse for a drawing group than when the model doesn’t show up, or cancels with short notice)
Mode of transport
Mobile number

Just a note about age and weight: although I mention things like ‘dancer’ and ‘athlete’ above, please do not think that will work against other body shapes. Quite honestly all body forms are a challenge for an artists to work from, and so exposure to all different forms is the best way for artists to get better at their craft. The notes about background experience is more about the fact that models need to be able to show off a variety of poses, and just as importantly, hold them for between 15 seconds to an hour – knowing what you and your body can do is vital to being a model.

    Hi, I am an artist looking to get into life drawing again after a break. I see all your models are female; I am looking to draw mainly from male models. Please advise if you have them regularly. Thank you.

      Hi June, terribly sorry about the late response, and the fact that that means you just missed a session of ours with a male model!
      The sad fact is that not many groups have males in as frequently as females. This is simply down to the fact that more people prefer to draw females. As such, sessions with male models tend to have smaller turnouts than usual.
      That being said, I do try to have a male model in on a regular basis (usually as a double session with a female model). Other groups that tend to do so as well are the Monday morning sessions at Bassendean, Kidogo, the Freo Art Centre and… actually, that may be it I’m afraid. :/

    Is this website currently active, the comments below are from 2 years ago and nothing recent.

    Thanks

      Hi Taz, it is still active and I try to reply to all the messages I get. That being said, in this particular page most of the comments are from people asking to be models, in which case I respond to them personally via email so that there personal information isn’t available to everyone.
      Likewise, with the other pages any comments that don’t actually need to be responded to publicly I’ll respond to privately.
      Hope that helps out!
