In reclining pose, you will have to lie on your back on a sofa or armchair and assume a comfortable position. 

In the pose, you will have to lie on your stomach and lift your shoulders upwards, as you would if you were to read a magazine on the beach. 
These are the four basic types of pose, but the artist or the instructor can request a multitude of positions and gestures. 

2 Be expressive. Use as a reference any personal experience to imagine an interesting or inspiring pose. Any physical activity can be a source of great poses.

Art is a dynamic activity and your poses should be! 

Many nude models draw inspiration from the poses portrayed in classic works. 

Yoga positions are also widely used because they emphasize the muscles and make them appear dynamic, interesting.

Bring a pair of slippers or sandals so you can walk in the breaks.

Unless prompted, use as few jewelry as you can. 
Do not overdo it on makeup or makeup (here, too, unless requested). Try to leave your body as natural as possible.

Posing

1 

Remove the clothes. When you find the artist and feel comfortable, it will be time to undress. 
You will probably change into a locker room or behind a screen. 
Use this privacy to focus and prepare for the session. Remove the clothes and put on the slippers and the robe. 
Go to the place where you will pose. When you take your place, take with you only the timer you will use to measure the time of poses. 

2 

Remove the robe and sandals. The artist will tell you where to put them once they are removed. 
If you have to sit or lie down, it is appropriate to do so on a towel or on a sheet. This item must be arranged by the artist or brought by you. 
If there is not a towel, it is hygienic and highly recommended that you extend the robe over the place where you will sit. 
Some artists even like the challenge of drawing fabric folds. 

3 

Follow the artist's instructions. Leave the body and eyes immobile. Listening to the artist is the key to the success of the session. 
It is preferable to fix the gaze on a single point; Do not look in the direction of the artist, unless he asks for it. 
Try to maintain the pose relaxed, but not to the point where the body leaves the original position. 
Depending on what has been agreed upon between you and the artist, you will control the tempo of each pose or it will inform you when to alternate. 
If you do not understand what the artist said, do not be afraid to ask for a more detailed explanation. This is much more desirable than assuming the wrong pose. 
If the pose you are in is too exhausting or tiring, it is better to warn the artist than to try to stay in it. It is preferable for the artist to start working with a pose that you can maintain than having to resume work. 

Closing Session

1 

Get dressed. At the end of the session, put on the robe, go back to the dressing room and wear your clothes again.
Make sure none of your items have been forgotten in the studio. 
Give preference to comfortable clothes. 
It is a good idea to bring a separate bag with you in which to put the bathrobe or towel used in the session. So when you get home, it will be easier for you to know what has to be washed. 

2 

Be prepared to say goodbye to the artist. This is the time to schedule future sessions. 
When leaving the locker room, have an agenda and pen in case the artist shows an interest in working with you again. 
It is a good idea to have a business card to deliver to the artist. 
Ask for the artist's opinion about your work. 
When you have worked a certain number of times with the same artist, ask for a letter of recommendation; It will make it easier to get new jobs. 

3 

Keep in touch with the artist. To be hired again, show enthusiasm and initiative. 
Use phone or email to confirm the day and time of your sessions. 
If you do not schedule a new session immediately after the last one, contact the artist a few weeks later and ask if he or she needs a template. 
If you and the artist have a good professional relationship, ask him for some directions or contacts. 

Tips

At the end of the session, someone may ask permission to take a picture of your pose and use it as a reference to complete a job. The decision to accept and, if so, to charge for the photograph (usually two to three times the price of a joint session), is at your discretion. 
Mobile cameras are another problem. Educational institutions often prohibit the photographing of nude models, but one should be alert. 
If someone who has discovered your work by advertisement wants to hire you, find out as much as possible about the institution or about the artist before accepting the work. 
Request a slightly higher fee for private sessions. Watch for any signs of sexual harassment (or worse). Take all the care you deem necessary.
