Latte Art “Brush” Sizes and Types
With latte art, you have three “brush sizes” and three “brush types” indicated by thesix icons beneath the Milk Pitcher.The more you “draw” on the latte, the more milk you’ll use, indicated by the pitcher on the left.
You should choose your “brush sizes/types” based on the latte art you’re given. Delicate patterns such as therosettawill require you to use the smallest sizes available. However, something like a heart can be done with larger options.
Symmetrical Lines
You also may have noticed theicon in the bottom right of your screen. This will add anasymmetrical line(s)to the latte. If you draw on one half of the line, it will be mirrored on the other side. Using the single, vertical asymmetrical line ishighly recommendedwhen learning the first three latte art patterns.
