For those curious about latte art. Its half steaming quality and half technique. your steam wand is important, both in its ability to deliver steam, and the way its directed and such. not all steam wands are equal. but the common is to oversteam milk, both adding too much air, and going too long for too hot of milk. add less air and pull the pitcher as soon as its a bit too hot to handle. and be sure not to leave the steam wand at the surface too long unless you like the fluffy dry type of cappuccinos.
i used to be pretty good
