EVERGREEN PINECONES & Watercolor Batik

EVERGREEN PINECONES
Watercolor Batik - 12x18

EVERGREEN PINECONES - this is a Watercolor Batik of a cute blue bird sitting in an 
evergreen tree among the pinecones while the snow falls gently 

Watercolor Batik is similar to the age old fabric batik but I paint on fibrous rice paper instead of cloth. Melted wax is painted onto the areas that I want to stay white and then I start painting inthe lighter colors of the painting. The wax is then used to protect these lighter areas - the process of painting and waxing is repeated until the entire piece is covered. The wax is then ironed off and the result is always a unique and creative piece of art.
