A must do experience - This was a wonderful experience! I have never done anything like this and wasn’t sure what to expect. There were more decisions than I would have thought but Olivier made everything easy. He took time to explain his process and really walks you through each step. I was completely comfortable and relaxed. More importantly, I loved the results! If you are even considering this a little bit, just go for it! I don’t think you could be disappointed.

The best gift you could give yourself - An experience like no other! Olivier is a true professional, and will make sure you feel comfortable, safe, and happy with your experience. It starts with a conversation to get to know you a little, and to find out what you are looking for from the drawing. Olivier's goal is to ensure you are feeling relaxed and comfortable above all else; the happier you are, the better your drawing will turn out! Olivier will work with you to check the pose several times in a mirror to ensure you are happy with how it looks, and he verbally guides you through the entire experience, explaining his process and what to expect.
Extremely safe for solo female travelers, no need to fear. The studio is safe, private, and clean, with a private changing area, space to safely keep your possessions, and toilet if needed. If you are not comfortable with nudity, there are drapes to cover yourself artistically and still have a wonderful experience. It leaves you feeling quite confident and empowered, and, speaking as a woman, I left feeling quite beautiful indeed!
I would recommend leaving yourself a little extra time at the end of the session instead of booking something (like lunch) immediately after, to allow yourself time to get comfortable, look through his art collection, and decide what kind of pose/medium you would like, otherwise you might feel rushed.
100% would recommend to anyone looking for a truly unique experience that is rare to come by.

Liberating - This was liberating! Nice portrait and Olivier is professional, his studio as you would imagine in the garret of an old building. Such fun, will always look back on my debut as a life model!

Oliver is a wonderful artist. Your sketch will delight. - The location is a little difficult to find. His studio is in an apartment and he has to buzz you in. Then you go up many stairs to his studio. He has many paintings and sketches to look at. You can have a face portrait, full body and full or partial nude. Whatever you select will be lovely and you will be so comfortable with Oliver. He is a true professional and very kind.

Relaxing Art - Olivier says modeling can be very relaxing and I found it to be exactly that! I am preparing to walk Camino Frances and I had a stop for a few days in the lovely Toulouse. I thought this would be a great souvenir to open when I returned back to the US, an excellent way to mark the occasion! Posing (in the nude) gave me time to relax and think about what brought me to France and who I will be by the time I reach Santiago in Spain. Olivier was great to converse with, I found his story inspiring. He was professional and laid back; I felt right at home and he did great work! 10/10

Just do it! An amazing experience! - Olivier is incredibly talented, kind, and welcoming. I felt confident and relaxed with Olivier, and he took his time to get to know me, to show me some of his work, and to brainstorm what I was hoping to capture in the drawing.

Embrace your beauty - Spending the morning in Olivier’s studio being drawn in a comfortable nude pose was transformative. Olivier spent time asking me about what I desired from the sketch, discussed color options & I am very pleased with the result. I came away more confident with my body & am proud to hang this sketch in my home.
