If you don't want to charge but just want some practice drawing faces, by the way, I would consider going to a local nursing home. Old people are very rewarding for so many reasons. It is heartbreaking to be told, as I was more than once by sitters, that nobody has really looked at them at all for twenty or thirty years.

I think my passion for people in costume stems way back into my childhood. I hated modern clothes and always wished I could be dressed in long dresses and hoop skirts. The modeling with the teens in antique dresses sounds fabulous. I bet they all had a wonderful time. Someone has started a plein air paint group like that here and unfortunately I'm going to miss the first one but plan to attend all the others after that!
Your idea at the nursing home sounds wonderful. I may start something like that this fall when I'm not so busy. Perhaps I can find a couple of artists friends to do it with me.
Thanks for your encouragement and great ideas, Linda!
