I love those days when a painting is already swimming in my head, waiting to rush of the tip of my brush. I'm working with a full piece of delicate rice paper, unsure if I could manage it without tearing the wet paper in process. So, I worked smaller areas with paint, allowing them to dry, then taking the hot wax to those areas before moving across the paper. It worked! The unpredictable nature of the batik is exciting, only revealing your true painting as all of the hot wax is ironed from the surface. The results only make me want to do it more!! Painting number 2259 in 2259 days.
