I do have to confess that I engage in conversation myself during these sessions. I've tried keeping out of the conversation, and concentrating on drawing, but if the model is talking, I'm limited.
I used to attend the sessions at the university. There's no talking there, which is great, but they like short poses. they spend a lot of time on five and ten-minute sketches, and only work their way up to a maximum 30-minute pose. My sessions were specifically started so artists could do sustained poses. But I'm willing to go back to the university sessions, and just learn to draw faster.
