Creating a rhythmic pattern of color, hatching breathes life into a work, making the surface pulse with energy + subtle detail. Layered lines of color combine to create shadows, gradients, and forms. Hatching builds depth and texture with deliberate, parallel brushstrokes—no blending here! Stacking these strokes with precision adds to the richness and complexity of the image, turning an otherwise flat canvas into a textured, dimensional work . . . that you may just have to touch.

Hatching was a common approach for Vincent Van Gogh, Joan Miro, Paul Gaugin, Henry Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and more artists that you know + love.
