@all

still havnt had time to call or visit CAA. hehehe

i saw sunstar today, there's a place near st. micheal village , arcenas condo or apartelle something tat offers daily rates of 1,500 and it's 2 bedroom with kitchen. might be worth inquiring... i didnt catch the number though. naay nitawag man gud.. then nakalimot ko until tonight. hehe

pero if you tell them that you're gonna draw naked ppl they might not rent it out to you. :P heehe


@cmontoya

yeah, I'm cheap. A hefty price tag should not stop us from enjoying the hobby. I can try to find a non j-girl model who's willing to do half of 4k. or even less. pero dont expect cindy curleto hot..

@zerk:

1. She or he does not have to be nude. She or he can wear a one-piece or two-piece bikini or swimming trunk, respectively.

2. She or he does not have to be good looking or sexy.

@all:

Who has free time today? I can call CAA but people I do not want to do everything for you.

Do the following:

1) Pick up a phone and dial 416-5712 or 256-3254.

2) Say, \"Hello, naa pa mo sketching class for drop-ins?\"

Note: Usahay wala alama makatubag kay janitor ra. Pangutana na lang daan kung naa instructor in the house.

3) If he or she answers, Yes

Then ask, \"Unsa schedule ug pila?\"

Take note of answer and post here.

Else,

Post answer here as well.

I do not think the entire conversation will take more than 5 minutes. Kung wala makabuhat ani today, then pasabot siguro, dili dyud di-ay ni ani ka-importante na
activity sa ato grupo. Like I said, I could do it but this time I am asking somebody else to do it. Kamo na sad lihok be.

@ cmontoya

I called up #416-5712 and it tells me that I am calling for the wrong number, the later (#256-3254) is not yet in service.

[cmontoya]

@czharlloutte: Thanks for the effort.

I found them in the 2006-2007 phone directory and called 231 2040 (General Echavez) but it is also not yet in service. I wonder if the CAA is still active.

A Yahoo search yielded these URLs:

http://gobeeann.tripod.com/cebu_acad.html (Hmm. Being an artist should have its benefits.)

I think I will create a new thread asking where the heck CAA is. Grr...

Kendo.. I think.. ehhehe wla ko sure!! bai.. maybe if everyones not happy with the money yet.. we could start funding a little and maybe postpond it for 2 months.. By then everyone will have the money.. kay basig lang.. I mean basig nakalitan ra ang uban.. hehehe
@arf
hehe Nice drawings...!!

[cmontoya]

@Lostsoul:

(OT) Yeah, that's it. I actually remembered the term while talking with Mark Yap. It takes 50 years to master it. I better stick to drawing.

[zerk]

thanks for the info on CAA. dang, super busy today, running about town.

now, where's the fun in bikini models. **snickers** seriously though they'll charge much cheaper than nude ones.

[abortretryfail]

try asking some friends to volunteer... or at least at a more agreeable fee

my first nude sessions were with friends... before I started getting hired to shoot them

one thing I might suggest to ease the financial worries would be to hold an art sale after each session.
you could either sell the work you made during the session or an artwork based on the sketches or
drawings from that model. from each sale, part will go to the artist while a small percentage could go
to a sinking fund to cover at least part of the expenses for the next model session.

anyway, just my 2¢
