Be a draping model
Colour analyst training courses are held in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada.
Models must be available in-person.
Student colour analysts drape 6 models (and themselves as the 7th). Courses are private, with one student per 4-day training session.
Models must be at least 18 years of age or accompanied by a parent.
Volunteers are appreciated. Please contact me to express your interest, either via the contact form (link below), or by emailing me directly (christine@12blueprints.com). I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
When you reach out, please include a photograph (no filters or sunglasses, makeup is OK). The photo helps me ensure that the student sees a variety of colouring types. These photographs are never shared and are deleted from my files once the modeling has taken place, or at any other time upon request.
Once the date is scheduled, I will contact you by e-mail 10-14 days prior to the session to confirm our appointment and share directions to the colour studio.
The colour analysis will take 2.5-3 hours or a bit longer if we discuss cosmetics or hair colour. The model simply sits in front of a mirror while fabrics of various colours are placed across their shoulders. The studio is private, no photographs are taken, information is not shared, and no record is kept of the experience.
Please do not commit to modelling if there is a chance of cancelation beyond unforeseen emergencies. Training courses are tightly scheduled and adding last minute models is extremely challenging. Also, please do not bring children to the modelling session as they may be distracting for the model and student.
Please note that models are contacted according to the following:
- Priority may be given to male models (or women who bring men for the second session of the day), as they may be less available.
- Persons of darker complexion may be contacted sooner for the student to experience diversity of skin tones.
- Members of the same family are a welcome opportunity for the student to see inheritance patterns and people of different ages whose colouring might be similar or extremely different.
The model receives:
- the complete colour analysis experience and knowledge of their Season (natural colouring), how choose the colours that will be their best now and in the future, and the opportunity to participate and ask questions throughout their colour analysis.
- the opportunity to purchase the full size colour palette for their Season for CN70.00 (includes PE HST 15% = 10.50). Because availability of the 12 palettes cannot be guaranteed, there may be a brief delay in providing your palette.
Not included in modeling:
- cosmetic application, though we may feature some aspect of cosmetic colour choice, such as choosing lip colour or blush.
- hair colour consultation, though questions regarding chemical hair colour choices are welcome.
- written information about the Season (available as PDF downloads under the E-Products tab in the main menu)
- future access to support or advice
- harmonizing the colour palette may be included with one or two models, with options for others listed above.
- Luxury Drape viewing will be included with one or two models, with options for others listed above.
- time for photographs.
