Hi all (and a happy new year!)
the title says it all :
My dad (72 old, retired surgeon) is trying to learn poser with my old version of P4Pro. 
He's using it as it was originally supposed to be : ART. 
His main concern is oil painting of nude females (also lanscapes ...) is there a set of poses really usable for this ?
(btw he was impressed by Richardson's gallery !)
Many thanks for your answers

There are tons of poses all over the place for various figures. Not sure what type of poses you are seeking though.   I'm not sure what 'Artistic Poses" are.  Are you talking about poses such as you see in images by Luis Royo?

Here are some links to some sites that you can get fantasy art type poses plus lots of others:

By the way, poses for human-like figures can be used across most figures with a bit of tweaking to fix a joint or dig out a hand from a hip or something.  So don't be afraid to try poses meant for one figure on a different one. Chances are they will work with minimal to no fixing needed.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

Aery Soul's "Keen on Art" poses should be just the thing!
