Food Illustration: Sushi in Ink and Watercolor. A Sketchbook Practice

Japanese food is not only delicious, it is also a joy for the eyes. That’s why sushi makes a perfect subject for your sketchbook in ink and watercolor.   I’m Elisabetta, a watercolor artist with a passion for food illustration. I find it endless fun and a continuous source od inspiration! So get started today!  In this class, we will sketch together a lovely board of Sushi, step by step. Although it’s an easy task if broken down in little steps, it’s full of details and a very rewarding project.

If you follow my class, you will learn:

• to simplify a complicate reference image
• to paint in multiple layers to add depth
• to make your sushi pop through consistent and bold shadowing
• to mix colours to add colour variation and add interest
• to paint sketchy yet realistic and believable food illustration
• to add texture to food through dry brush and other techiques
