Overview
A pattern will be provided for each artist to trace with waterproof pen onto Japanese Rice Paper provided by Instructor. Each step will be demonstrated as subject is painted, using the value method, to stages shown on the one-page, illustrated and easy to follow Instruction Sheet.
After Initial Waxing of all painted areas, background is painted in and painting is dried completely before going to the final waxing and Batik Wash.
All Wax is ironed out of the painting and final Batik is mounted to ½ sheet water color paper provided by artist.
Artists are encouraged to use their own palate to make it their artwork. Instructor’s goal is for every artist to have the knowledge to create their own pattern by the end of the workshop
