Deborah;

A good place to find models is near a university or college. If their schedule allows, I find lots of willing student models. Different parts of the country pay different fees. In San Antonio, we pay about 30.00 for a 3 hour session with 5 minute breaks after 20 minute sittings. If you want to keep the break to 5 minutes I suggest timing the break also. If the model sits nude it is generally higher 40 to 50 dollars for a three hour session. Models with experience will sometimes sit for 25 minutes and 5 min breaks.

Some inexperienced models sit there and want to do a good job for the artist, and do not want to take a break. Encourage them to take a break, because by the end of the session they will regret it. As my son stated, the first hour is fun, the second you earn your money, and the third is pain.

Find other artist that are willing to paint with you and share in the expense of the model.

Hope this helps.
