The Art of Batik Painting

Batik painting is a centuries-old art form that has its origins in Indonesia. This unique technique involves using wax-resist dyeing to create intricate patterns on fabric.

• The process starts with drawing designs on cotton cloth using a tool called a "canting."

• Molten wax is then applied to the fabric, creating a barrier that prevents dye from penetrating certain areas.

• After the wax is applied, the fabric is dyed, and the process is repeated until the desired pattern emerges.

• Once the final design is achieved, the wax is removed, revealing the vibrant, one-of-a-kind batik artwork.

This captivating art form isn’t only visually stunning but also deeply rooted in Indonesian culture and tradition.
