Seated (Patreon)

In reality I would probably hold these seated poses for somewhere between 10 to 40 minutes, so if you want to replicate the life drawing experience you could always set yourself a time limit........do any of you do that?

As a general rule, and depending on the pose, the dynamic standing poses I do will be for anything from 30 seconds to five minutes, but more static stnading poses will be longer (I try to avoid doing standing poses for more than 20 minutes as it can put undue pressure on my back.......that said, the longest standing pose I've done without a break was for an hour); seated poses, as I said above, will be for 10-40 minutes (but there are always exceptions.......the longest seated poses I've done without a break were for two and a half hours; reclining poses aren't always as comfortable as they look, so the timings for these also vary, generally from 30 minutes upwards, with the longest without a break again being two and a half hours. Do I fall asleep during long poses? Sometimes (I doubt you'll find a model who hasn't on at least one occasion), though it can be simply a case of reaching a state of deep relaxation and zoning out for just a couple of minutes.......which, though fleeting, can be blissful.
