Hello to my students and welcome back to my channel!

My name is Elisabetta Furcht and I am an Italian watercolor artist. I started sketching later in life but art is now a big part of my life: I sketch everyday and I feel I am part of a tight community.

However, I sometimes get stuck in a creative block or I find myself with too little time to sketch. When this happens, my comfort zone is sketching coffee! From a simple Espresso cup to a more complex percolator, coffee is my comfort zone!

So I thought it was a good idea to share my passion for coffee sketches with you!

In this class, you will learn how to sketch four different coffee-related objects, from the easiest to the more complex ones. That's why this class is suitable for all levels! But don't be afraid, I will take you step by step through the whole process!

We will sketch together an Espresso cup, a Coffee-to-go, a Moka Pot and a Chemex : a lot of fun!

For today's class, I'm using my preferred style, ink and watercolor: it's easy, forgiving, and relaxed!

In this class you will learn a few watercolor techniques:

how to draw free-hand an object from a photo reference
how to draw symmetric objects
how to layer watercolor so to get an interesting, realistic result.
how to mix colors on your palette or directly on paper for color variety
how to paint shadow and highlights
how to fix some mistakes....

My teaching style is friendly and relaxed, with step by step detailed explanation. I know for sure we will spend a great time together painting coffee!

I hope you will join my class and learn how to sketch coffee!

Take care! Elisabetta XX
