Crosshatching
and stippling can be readily achieved with gouache, again with
the option of "softening" the effect or not. When
painting an animal that has fur or feathers, one can approach
the texture as directional hatching, thereby rendering the form
and describing detail with the same stroke of the brush. Likewise,
when dealing with subjects that have rough or scaly surfaces,
the use of stippling can accent those qualities.
