Drawing Life: Live Figure Drawing

Drawing Life: Live Figure Drawing 📅  Hosted at Pacific Coffee Research – Thursday, August 28 | 3 pm – 6 pm

Step away from the espresso machine and into the studio for a special evening of creativity and connection. Drawing Life is a live figure drawing session co-hosted by local artist and educator Johanna Schumacher—a new kind of experience at Pacific Coffee Research that invites you to slow down, observe, and explore the human form through art.

Whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or revisiting a long-time practice, this session offers a welcoming space to sharpen your skills and enjoy the meditative rhythm of drawing from life.

 What to Expect:

🎨 Choose Your Medium – Bring your own sketchbook and favorite tools—charcoal, pencil, ink, watercolor, or anything else you love to draw with. All levels and styles are welcome.

⏲️ Timed Poses – We’ll move through a series of short and long poses with a live model, helping you build confidence and fluidity in your mark-making.

🌟 Guided Support – Johanna will offer light instruction, tips, and feedback throughout the session to help you explore new techniques or deepen your personal approach.

☕  Coffee & Pupus – Enjoy freshly brewed coffee and light bites while you draw. BYOB.

About the Artist:
Johanna is a watercolor painter based in Hōnaunau, Hawai‘i. Her work is deeply influenced by the vibrant forests and ocean life of the islands, and her practice centers on expressing emotional depth through color, shape, and story. During the COVID lockdown, Johanna founded a figure drawing group that sparked a lasting love for the discipline and the creative community it nurtures.

No experience necessary—just bring your curiosity, your materials, and a willingness to see the human form with fresh eyes. Join us for an evening of artistic exploration and shared inspiration.
