LDB Tuesday Nights
Every Tuesday!
This is not a class.
I AM NOT AN INSTRUCTOR. Both because I don’t like class and because I literally don’t know how to teach art stuff. Everyone’s style is different! Everyone’s voice is different! Ideally on Tuesday night, you get to let go of perfectionism, tap into the flow of art-making, touch the magical thing that is art energy, and let your voice sing. $15. snacks and supplies included.
Historical Portraiture w/ Cas
And we’re BACK baby! Cas @smollfigure, our emcee extraordinaire, history buff, actor, friend, and host of the now monthly historical portraiture session, is keeping things fresh and throwing a BANGER this month. Model this month? @lil_kokiburi!!!
Each month has been a different theme that is designed with the help of the model/historical interpreter and often the costumes are MADE by the people modeling them! Cas provides way more legit content than I do; they talk about the time period, highlight details about what you’re drawing, and they’re funny as hell. There’s a backdrop, the music matches the theme... I swear y’all this program is elevated. Anyway! Come through

Dorian Wood: Live Music & Figure Drawing
Life Drawing Boston presents KILL THE COLONIZER IN YOU THAT YOU MISTAKE FOR A SOUL, a queer-centered ritual/drawing session in two parts created by anti-disciplinary artist Dorian Wood. Through ancestral vocalizations and body movement, Wood invites spectators to render what they witness, or to engage by simply being present. Says Wood: "I am interested in infecting the space with my fatness, with my brownness, with my overall individuality, as a way of connecting with others to collaboratively explore ways in which we dismantle systems that contribute to the marginalization of people."
Los Angeles Times says Dorian Wood "delivers vocals that offer sublime beauty and pain." Born and raised in L.A. to Costa Rican-Nicaraguan parents, and now a resident of Watertown, Wood's work has been presented in concert halls and cultural institutions around the world. She is a recipient of several awards including a Creative Capital Award, a MacDowell Fellowship, an FCA Grant for Artists Award and a NALAC Fund for the Arts Award. In 2023, Wood premiered Canto de Todes, a touring 12-hour chamber music composition and installation that emphasizes the urgency of folk music as a conduit for social change. In 2024, Wood toured her piano-and-voice interpretation of Sinéad O'Connor's album I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, honoring the late artist on the anniversary of her passing. Wood has released over a dozen recordings, most recently the albums You are clearly in perversion (2023, Astral Editions), in collaboration with Thor Harris; and Excesiva (Dragon's Eye Recordings, 2023).
