A Paradox
Excellent models offer artists an opportunity to do superior work. They also present a paradox. When confronted with a top notch model in an outstanding pose one can be gripped with a deep sense of inadequacy. I have always felt this when trying to paint a flower in full bloom. In both cases my first thought is that there is no way I can possibly do justice to the subject before me.
In these situations it is best to just start putting down brush strokes and hope that a small amount of the model's aura will make its way to the canvas.
