Male Nude Model for Artists

As an 18 year old Male Art student. Way back in 1965 I was not aware that we would be spending so much studio time with nude women. In five years we only had two nude men as ART models. We really needed more Nude Men. Pay was twenty five dollars an hour. Much more than double that I was making at a down town Seattle Hotel as weekend dishwasher. Being nude was never a problem for me. The biggest challenge was staying still. Oh well regrets. I like this website because I can meet people from all over the world. Nude Art including male full frontal male Nudity is wonderful. All shapes and sizes and ethnicity are very interesting to the Fine Artist. And drawing and painting men is totally different than painting nude women. My style is realistic
I love Oils. Acrylic watercolors

Very interesting. I'd like to see some of your work.

When I was attending college I would pass by a door in the art wing that had a sign saying Life Drawing or something similar. I knew what it meant but at that time would never have thought to get involved as either an artist (as if; I can't draw to save myself) or a model. Payment wasn't even something I'd thought about. I wonder if life's path would have been different if I offered to be a model?

My son went to an art college and students were not allowed to be models.
