I have been a professional Wildlife and Landscape fine artist for 25 years. In that time I have worked with two models producing a number of successful figurative nude paintings. My gallery has asked me to create some new work ongoing in the future.

To this end I am seeking new models to work with. Very sadly at this time I am not in a position to afford to pay for models. I know that this will limit those who will be interested in working with me and I do understand. Though I am very happy to offer photographs for their use from any sessions, also original sketches to own and keep as well as a copy of any limited edition print resulting from any painting made. After some time there might even be a small study in oil as a thank you for working with me.

My intent is to work with one or more models over time so that a strong working professional relationship can be formed, poses will as far as possible be anonymous,
The resulting artwork will be nude or semi nude, by that I mean implied nudity due to the careful use of fabric. Poses and resulting paintings would only be tasteful and beautiful not tacky or in anyway offensive, after all they will be exhibited in galleries.

Models need to be female 18+ and up to 32-35, slim, good looking and in good shape. I am sorry for type casting anyone and hope that my words do not offend. The art market in relation to nudes has its requirements and I must abide by them if I wish to market the paintings successfully.

My home studio is small so is restricted on type of set up possible, I would seek to hire suitable hall or venue so that we would have room. I work from photographic reference and sketches/ Sketches with colour notes as time allows. I sometimes need to reset the pose later to check colour values and skin tones etc, this can be tied in with any subsequent sessions.

I live and work in Hythe , Kent, but can travel or set something up locally what ever is conducive to both parties. I hope that if you are thinking of working with me for painting purposes then please make contact via my website www.paulappsfineart.com email [email protected] and let us have a chat….
