3. Batiks are produced by brushing hot liquid wax onto a piece of cotton cloth in the desired pattern. The canvas is then dipped into a dye which adheres to all the areas that are not covered by the wax. The wax is then removed and reapplied repeated for each color used. This tedious and time-consuming process can produce exceptional artwork. Animals, village scenes, landscapes and abstracts compose much of the subject matter with colours that are natural and brilliant!
