great poses!…
Just what was i looking for for inspiration
Several models were in positions helpful to watercolor paintings, I’m doing
Glad to hear. It appears having an “inventory” of poses by type is helpful to artists too.
Thank you so much for this database! It’s fantastic! However I am concerned since I am unable to have a model sign a model release… I assume they must have for you to put them on the internet, but what are the terms and conditions for us using these? Thank you!

Hi, I have been working has an art model for a few months and found these poses both interesting and for lideas for me to use.
Many thanks,
Jen
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC SITE! I’m an art student and these poses are unbelievably helpful to me. Many, Many thanks
THANK YOU! Cheers.
This site is so helpful! I’m a student but, unfotunately, a model comes to the school just once every two weeks, and is not enough to study the body. These photos help a lot and both female and male models have done a very great job, all of them
Nice poses.
Wonderful poses by lovely ladies! Exactly what I needed to do gesture drawings at my own speed. Thank you so much for making these photos available. 🙂
A very helpful site for a disabled drawer who has no access to live models .
I hope to be able to draw some at my own pace now ! which is very slow.
thank you for letting us be able to use these great models.
Muy buenas fotos! de mucha utilidad para quienes trabajamos en el dibujo del desnudo.
These photos gave me a wide variety of poses which I could choose from and it is interesting to have different body shapes and sizes to choose from
.I am painting a series of nudes in oil so these are invaluable.
Would love a link to take me to a random pose every day
