I am protesting the unreasonable pricing for open studios out here. I agree the models need to earn a decent pay for their work, but when I was in school, we did it for the exercise. It is not for those who can afford their own model, more for us all to keep practicing like the students.

A high school for the arts near the university has a weekend open studio. Same pose both days, and THIS one has apparently gone on for three weeks. I only got four hours in, but it felt wonderful!
