What are Batik paintings? How is it made?
Batik Paintings are produced by brushing molten wax onto a piece of cloth. The cloth is then dipped painted with, or dipped into a dye which adheres to all areas not covered by the wax. The wax is then removed, and the process repeated over and over again for each color used. It is an exceptionally time consuming process that yields an exceptionally high quality work of art. It is known that Picasso was heavily influenced by abstract African art of this style. These are huge pieces of artwork that can be used as tapestries or as framed wall art.
