Do you dream of sketching and painting the world around you in watercolor, but don't know where to start? Then this class is for you!

Food illustration is a lovely way to start sketching your everyday life! I’ll be teaching you a loose and sketchy approach to watercolor food illustration without fear.

Hi! I’m Elisabetta, an Italian artist based in Turin. I started drawing and painting later in my life and I discovered that anyone can learn through practice: art is a wonderful journey!

With this class, I want to get you started painting food, and share some tips on how to approach color, composition and depth more intuitively, so they become second nature to you the more you practice. For your class project, we’ll be sketching and painting some Italian food together, my favorite: a True Italian Breakfast in Ink and Watercolor.

You will learn how to:

find inspiration in the world around you and in the food you eat
lay out a pleasant composition
sketch without fear in pencil and ink using lost and found edges.
mix organic colors to give a better sense of realism to your painting, and
add depth to your sketch through multiple layers of watercolor, and with a little shading.

This class is perfect for beginners, or anybody looking to take back some me time for themselves. Though, watch out! If you start, you won’t be able to stop!

After this class, you will be able to sketch and paint not only your own breakfast, but any other meal or object in your house.

So, do not hesitate!! Travel to Italy and sketch and paint with me!
