Your Project Description

You will complete the watercolor food illustration of a Sushi meal that I am teaching in the class. You will draw the shapes in Ink and then apply a watercolor wash paying particular attention to correct shadow placement.

Once completed the project, I encourage you to share it with other students, that can see what kind of results you can achieve with this class. To share it, you will upload it in the Project Gallery here below. I will then be able to give you e detailed feedback!

Your Materials:

To paint the Sushi board, you will need some basic supplies

Watercolor paper: cellulose will be perfect. Ideally, weight should be 300 gsm.
Watercolor paint: a basic set with primary and secondary colours. Artist or student grade will be better, but just use what you have!
Watercolor brushes: synthetic round brushes of different sizes
Pencil and eraser
Waterproof fineler (I like it in sepia, but you can use what you have or like).
White gel pen for final details
Washi or artist tape
Two jars of water
Kitchen paper or a cloth.
