As defined by the text book "hatching" is an area of closely spaced parallel lines, or hatches. The closer the spacing of the lines the darker the area. To show an example of hatching I choose to do a piece by Mary Cassatt. The piece is called the visitor and was created in 1881. I decided on this piece because of the use of lines that are throughout the picture. The woman's clothing is full of lines and when the clothing is closer to her face the lines get tighter therefore darker.
