The practice of using live models in art, particularly for figurative and portraiture art, has a rich history.  The use of live models became increasingly prominent during the Renaissance, flourished throughout the Parisian salon period Académie des Beaux-Arts 18th-20th centuries, and continues today as the cornerstone of representational art education at the best international ateliers and art universities.

Other benefits:

​

• Anatomical accuracy:

  • Life drawing provides a direct way for artists to study and understand the human body's structure and proportions. 

• Observation skills:

  • The practice hones observational skills, teaching artists to perceive subtle details and variations in form and light. 

• Artistic expression:

  • While life drawing is often associated with realism, it can also be a tool for exploring personal styles and artistic interpretations. 

• Emotional connection:

  • Drawing from life can foster a unique emotional and empathic connection between the artist and the subject.

• Speed and confidence:

  • The practice of life drawing of "quick" poses will naturally help the artist build/gain drawing confidence and speed.
