My Alma Mater is a half hour drive away. They have life sessions once a week during the regular semesters, and I attend almost every session. Unfortunately, the longest poses are less than an hour, and the model is always reclining for these "sustained" poses. Sometimes I can't even see her face.
I'd like to hire a model, but, as you suggested, I'd have to find another artist to share the cost. I belong to a group who get together and hire a model from time to time, but none of them are interested in sustained poses.
I know a lot of judges. Maybe I can talk them into sending me some drunk drivers to pose as a form of community service.
