Traditional batik painting is a technique that involves using wax to create intricate designs on fabric, typically cotton or silk. The process begins with the application of hot wax onto the cloth using a tool called a "canting" or a stamp. The wax acts as a resist, preventing dye from penetrating the areas it covers.
Once the wax is applied, the fabric is submerged into a dye bath, and the areas not covered by wax absorb the color. This process can be repeated multiple times, with different colors and wax applications, to achieve complex, layered designs.
After the final dyeing, the wax is removed by boiling or scraping, revealing the colorful pattern underneath. Traditional batik paintings often depict motifs inspired by nature, culture, or mythology, and the technique has been practiced for centuries in various parts of the world, including Indonesia, Malaysia, India, and parts of Africa.
