What an unfortunate experience, Jimmie. I know, from earlier threads that you really try to pick and choose what you will spend your money on. If you don't have a cooperative model it will be extremely frustrating. I am glad they refunded your money.
I hope you have some luck finding models for your life drawing development. I can really relate to your anxiety at attending a life drawing class. I found it very unnerving the first few I went to. But the more you can go the easier it gets. I find there are always artists better than me and artists who struggle more than I do. Besides, when you have a good model you get absorbed you don't care who's around!!
How are you going to find a model? Is this for life drawing in the nude, or portrait drawing? Are you trying to form a class?. The one I attend is only $12 a two hour session. It is professionally managed with staff from the Cleve Institute of Art, as an adult education class. There are usually ten to fifteen students. The art instructor lives in the suburb where this class is held (Lakewood is about 25 miles from the Institute). Some of the students are novices, some are struggling students like me, and others are full time students from the institute. It is a great mix.
I will be interested in reading how you do with developing a way to draw from life. Good luck, Jimmie.
