Online Workshop: The fundamentals of Cross-Hatching, The 6 Basic strokes

I’m very pleased to announce my very first online workshop, hopefully the first of many, dedicated to pen and and ink and other drawing media. The workshop is called, “The fundamentals of cross hatching: the 6 basic strokes.

This three hour workshop designed for intermediate level artists will teach you simple, effective cross hatching methods that can be applied to a variety of subject matter, such as landscape, figure drawing and urban sketching.

As the title suggests, I’m going to cover the 6 types of hatching strokes commonly used in cross-hatching, show you three extremely useful exercises for developing your dexterity with the pen, and lastly demonstrate how to apply these various skills by doing a drawing of these deceptively simple geometric forms. And, as a bonus, once the workshop is over, I’ll give you the opportunity to submit your drawings for individual critique.

This is going to a be a fun, fast-paced workshop that I think will be useful to those getting started with pen and ink drawing, or just looking to improve their hatching skills. If you follow my channel, you know that I enjoy making instructional videos, but I think I teach even better in person and I’m confident that this workshop will provide value, and help you in your pen and ink journey.

I’m going to make three dates available for now, February 18, February 25, and March 3, 8:30 AM-11:30 AM, Pacific Standard Time. For more information, please go my website, which will give you the price, cover what materials you’ll need, and how to sign up. I’m going to cap each workshop to just 15 people, so if you’re interested, please sign up quickly because space is limited.
