I am at the Palette and Chisel in Chicago. As a member ($360 / year) one has available 60 plus hours of model time a week ... FREE. Many of the long pose workshops are in the large north light studio.
Without access to this, I would never have been able to afford the model time necessary to develop as a painter in my formative years and even now, as I wish to develop something specific, I come down here and work it out from the model.
ps- out-of-towners are less than a $90 / year and can come in the Chicago with full benefits of open studio.
This one was done in a open studio at the P&C a few years back.
