Firstly, you can sit anywhere you want in the coffee bar, or even sit outside of  it looking inside. Draw the whole atmosphere , but just keep your attention on the scene and the figure can be unclear.

Discussion: ( 10 minutes)

Somewhat surprisingly (to me) for visual artists some students find drawing outside the studio intimidating. I think everybody found the relaxed & controlled environment conducive to drawing away from the studio.
