Historic Portraiture at the Loov
Are you tired of drawing naked people? Want to feel like an old portrait artist painting in a smokey French salon?*
Historic Portraiture is your chance to work from a live historic interpreter modeling an exquisite, historically accurate 18th century gown. Campy, historic, and bourgeoisie all in one night.
First, you'll get a look at the undergarments and structure of 18th century clothing by doing warm up sketches with short poses in undergarments. We'll talk fashion and underwear history, so chic.
Then, watch how an 18th century Lady would get dressed in her best gown and draw or paint a 1hr long seated pose.
ALL Styles welcome; Media of choice, painting encouraged! Fancy snacks and supplies provided, BYOB (Bev and Berets)

The Chest Collective Presents: Somerville’s inaugural save-the-best-of-going-out-leave-the-rest dance party
Liv is the best and she’s throwing a really awesome dance party for women & gender minorities which is early so you can go to bed early and features a DJ who she’s bringing in from out of town because she’s so fucking good. And Dominos, and free childcare, it’s just like the most fun event she could think of. Gabby from First Crush will be pouring, it’s going to be a blast y’all.
Portrait Club
Portrait Club at Life Drawing Boston is a community-centric, portrait focused evening. The model is selected in advance from past participants in the group, and they pose dressed as they choose and often with props. Poses typically are 20, 40, and 60 minutes long (with breaks) affording time to work in different styles and mediums. At the end of the evening, the model may request one of the works completed by each of the artists who joined for the evening to leave with a set of portraits of themself.
