Wow, that last story is hard to get past!
I always find it amusing when artists insist the models get "naked" so that they can study the underlying form before painting the overcoat. The fall of light on the overcoat is what is being painted. That would be like a landscape painter saying,"I'll need you to take off the siding so I can see the wood framing of your house before I can paint it." or "I can't possibly do a painting of that blue car until you peel off the body so I can study the chassis." That would sound silly wouldn't it?
Painters have gotten away with it for years! and we still do!
