David Morales' Creative Cross Hatching Workshop

Thursday April 6 at 1:00pm EDT (New York time)

In this 2 hour online workshop presented LIVE you will sketch along with urban sketcher and architect, David Morales as he shows you how to create a beautiful and charming sketch using creative cross hatching.

Working with a reference photo of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, David will use cross hatching and a very limited splash of color to bring out values, depth and light contrast in his sketch. Students will get an over-the-shoulder view of David's sketch and can sketch along with him by using the reference photo provided. 

David Morales is a Colombian architect and notebook artist who divides his time  between Barcelona and his hometown Ibagué, Colombia.  David feels deeply passionate about capturing the beauty in worldly things in his notebooks. His notebooks are inseparable from his travels and architecture work. David has been drawing daily since 2018 when he started an artistic project called “One Day One Drawing”.
