I'm sure there will be a very interesting time when he'll discover who he'd been painting. Just wondering if it will be after or before the end of the summer.

LOL.  Well, I can't wait to see where this goes!  Fun!

So good, please post more and soon!

Oh, this is intriguing... unique premise, but not a ridiculous one. I applaud you :)

I'll be disapointed too... man, they are clueless!

Well, things are going famously, aren't they?  I'm not sure he'll be the consummate professional when he finds out just who he's painting.  And I wonder if he'll find out before the summer ends, or will he be surprised when he returns to Hogwarts and recognizes those hands, or neck, or... mwahahahaha.

I'm loving this!  Your stories are always great, but something about this one is really making me happy.  I think it is just such a change from the stuff I've been reading lately.  Anyhow, Hermione's thoughts are still really funny.  And now Snape has a running commentary in his head, too.  If only he could read her thoughts ...Even with bathroom breaks and food breaks, there is no way she is going to sit still, or at least sit quietly.    He may be ready to go back to Hogwarts just to escape Grace Henman's incessant rambling.  I do fear when and how he will find out and I suspect it won't be pretty. Even then, with his nose twelve inches from her left nipple, he was the consummate professional. She was almost disappointed. Ha!  Love it!

Wow, that was another brilliant update. Loved Hermione`s rant. :)... Looking forward to more, and soon!

I'm sure he'll become more aware of her feminine parts as time wears on. Have a good trip to Sydney, chook. Give that credit card a battering.

 I knew she wasn't going to chicken out.  I have to think he'd recognize her voice with all the babbling she's doing, but that would take the fun out of it.  I suspect the tattoo of course but I really want him to recognize her hand when she shoots it in the air, after he's spent the summer painting it :o)

Brilliant chapter! I'm still loving Hermione's inner monologues. Looks like she and Severus are in for interesting times :)

lovely job! quite a lot of inner musings but they advance the plot, so...

Thank you for  great update, I really like your plot. As always wonderfully written:-))

Snape the Starving Artist...  too funny!!This is so tongue-in-cheek.

Wonderful, bravissima. I love how Hermione's mouth runs away from her. I wonder if she will be able to keep quiet during the sessions and if Snape will decide to paint the *cough* "other areas". Fantastic story, very original.

I have a sneaking suspicion Hermione's tattoo will eventually be the unmasking of her!  Great story so far...I'm taking drawing classes myself at the moment, and you certainly have accurately detailed the woes of the human model needing to maintain a pose for long periods of time as well as the frustration for the artist when their model shifts position on them in middle of a sketch.  The only question I have now is: will Severus discover Hermione's true identity before or after the next school term begins?  Looking forward to finding out!

This looks really interesting and off to a good start! I always thought that no matter how, you know, refined and artistic-minded you are posing nude would include some giggle worthy moments.  I also don't think I could sit still that long!

Something tells me the school year to come will be interesting to say the least.

As an artist myself, I am intrigued! I'm lookin forward to the coming chapters. One little correction I must make as an art history/art student. The Vitruvian Man was done by Leonardo da Vinci not Galileo. 

I am very eager for the next update! This is a wonderful story :)

So so so promising... though I fear Snape's reaction when he (eventually, I'm sure) finds out. Hopefully he'll have such a good opinion of Miss Henman by then, that that'll overrule his misgivings towards Hermione. Right? :-) I hope you'll update soon, cause I always love your stories :-)

The dye has been cast, and he and she are artist and model.  This is lovely.  Neither one aware, thus far.  Hmm what shall become of this situation? Oh, I am all a flutter to find out.Thank you for sharing~

Love it! :) More!!!

looking forward to more.

Interesting start to the story.  This seems like it's going to be a fun story to follow, looking forward to reading more!
