Haley Indorato Studio - Portrait Painting Model Call (Ongoing)
I'm looking for anyone in the Rochester area who's interested in posing for one of my paintings.
I'm really interested in how people interact with their environment and each other. Ideally, we would take a reference photo somewhere important to the sitter; location and objects often provide context for figures.
I like it if things are a little weird sometimes, too. But I'm really looking for ordinary (often unrepresented) people in normal places. Maybe even convey a sense of vulnerability and reality of human experience in the current age? Or even just cool people from the area.
For more details, contact Haley via Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/haleyindoratostudio/
Studio 402 Figure Drawing Sessions (Ongoing)
We are looking for experienced models for figure drawing sessions. This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals interested in supporting the arts and participating in a creative environment.
Session Details:
We're looking for models who are comfortable posing for figure-drawing sessions. No prior experience is necessary, but reliability and the ability to hold poses for extended periods are important.
Interested candidates or anyone with recommendations, please reach out to Zanne Brunnerat the following contact details:
Email: zannebrunner@gmail.com
If you're interested in art modeling and contributing to a vibrant artistic community, please get in touch!
