SUNFLOWER DUO
Watercolor Batik - 12x18
My favorite flowers to paint are always sunflowers! Such happy, bright colorful flowers that choose to face the sun all day long. We should all take a life lesson from that.
Watercolor batik is similar to the age old fabric batik process but painted on fibrous rice paper instead of cloth. Melted wax is applied to the areas that I want to stay white and then I start painting in the lighter colors of the composition. The wax is then used to protect these lighter areas and the process of painting and waxing is repeated until the entire piece is covered. The wax is them ironed off and the final result is always a unique and creative piece of art.
