One year ago I published my first class here on Skillshare, a beginner food illustration class representing the typical Italian breakfast at home: coffee with milk, accompanied by rusks with jam. This class is still my most visited, successful class.

So today I'm celebrating my first teaching anniversary by publishing a new edition of this class: a typical Italian Breakfast in a bar! Every morning, thousands of cappuccinos with a croissant are served in bars in every corner of Italy. It's a very yummy, cheerful ritual! Let's sketch it together, it's a perfect subject for an illustrated journal or your sketchbook.

This is an easy and fun class, and it is suitable for beginners and intermediate student who would like to relax with a fun yet educational class.

It's an easy food illustration, but you can learn plenty of new skills:

How to draw a cappuccino cup
how to simplify a more complex scene
how to layer watercolour (glazing technique) to achieve depth
how to add depth and colour variety
how to use a "limited palette" to achieve a better harmony
how to mix your greys for shadows
how to add personal details not included in the reference image
how to fix mistakes
how to lift colour

I hope you will join me in this sketching adventure!

It is going to be a lot of fun, and you cannot get lost as I will explain every detail step by step.

I'll see you in class!
