What fabric is suitable for cold batik. Drawing in the Batik technique in stages for beginners. Master class with step by step photos. Educational and methodological base of the association

There are many different technologies and types of decorating fabrics. One of them is cold batik. This is a very unusual and beautiful technique that is highly valued in the professional market. It dates back to ancient times, and its name means "drop of wax" in ancient Indian language.

History of batik technique

Painting on fabric existed in Ancient Egypt, then it appeared in the eastern countries: China and Japan. And already in the XII century it spread to Indonesia. Now it is one of the most famous centers of batik, and this ancient technique continues to live and develop there to this day.

At the beginning of the 20th century, it began to spread throughout the world. Including one of the directions of painting in Africa. There were decorated with scarves, festive and casual clothes, elements of interior decor, etc.

Batik products had a symbolic meaning and were often used in rituals. For example, at a wedding, young people were tied with a scarf, which symbolized the unification of their souls. And even now, the peoples of the eastern countries have some traditions associated with this art.

Types of painting on fabric

The main feature of the batik technique is that different colors of the pattern are separated from each other by an outline. Depending on its type, several varieties are distinguished:

Homemade batik products

In order to make yourself a beautiful craft, it is better to use cold technique, since it is much easier. To do everything right, a beginner needs to read the step-by-step instructions for batik.

Materials and tools

For work, it is better to choose a well-ventilated room, because vapors of the reserve liquid can be harmful to health and well-being. And also pick up old clothes for work, since the paint on the fabric will be quite difficult to wash off.

For work you will need:

When all the materials and tools are ready, you can start working.

Manufacturing step by step

First step - sketch development... To do this, draw or print a sketch of the intended design on a piece of paper, keeping all dimensions. It should be as simple as possible and contain as few small details as possible. Trace the outlines with a bold felt-tip pen.

Transfer the drawing to matter... To do this, place a sketch under the fabric and trace with a pencil. The next step is to fill the circuit with reserve fluid. To do this, use a glass tube if the reserve is not in a special tube.

After applying and drying the reserve, check its integrity by moistening individual parts with water. If the reserve retains moisture well, you can start painting. Paint over the details carefully, rinsing well with the brush when changing colors.

Now one of the most crucial stages is paint fixing.

Remove the fabric from the stretcher or hoop and heat it so that the paint does not wash off.

There are several ways to secure it:

1. Baking in the oven. The product is wrapped in a cotton cloth and placed in a cold oven, gradually warming up to 150 degrees, for 15-20 minutes. After that, the oven must be turned off, and the product must be removed no earlier than an hour later.
2. Steaming in a water bath. This type of product processing is more complicated, since the craft should not come into contact with water or steam. To do this, you do not need to wrap it several times in paper or fabric.
3. If it is not possible to apply either the first or the second method, then you can simply iron the product with an iron from the back side. Ironing should be suitable for the type of fabric. For every 10 centimeters of fabric, you need to give 3-5 minutes of intense ironing.

Despite the fact that the paint was fixed, such a homemade product can be washed only at a temperature not higher than 30 degrees, preferably with your hands.

For safety reasons, after working with reserve and paint on fabric, the room should be checked, and hands and tools should be thoroughly washed with soap.

Nodular way

This option for decorating products is much simpler and does not require the use of a special reserve. You only need coloring materials (paint on fabric or, for the first experiment, a solution of brilliant green or any other dye) and fabric. Moreover, it can be absolutely anything.

With this technique, you can easily decorate old clothes that have been damaged by a small stain. To do this, dilute the paint with a little liquid. Select the part of the garment (such as a T-shirt or T-shirt) that you want to dye. Tie some very tight knots on it with small hair ties and dip it in the liquid and dye.

If it is warm, the fabric will most likely dye better.

After 5-25 seconds in the paint (depending on the desired effect), remove the clothes and dry them. When it is almost completely dry, untie the knots and iron the garment well from the wrong side.

You can also try free painting (batik is sometimes referred to as it). This technique is just as interesting and exciting. Batik is an unusual and very beautiful technique for decorating products, its possibilities are very wide, you just need to use your imagination and imagination.

Attention, only TODAY!

They forget about the long and painstaking work that the creators invest.

It is easy to argue - they say, it is somehow expensive ... And if you take all the hours and minutes spent on making make something out of the void, it turns out that the author is even robbing himself.

At the very least, artists often like to calculate how many and what stages they went through to create their masterpieces. not an exception. Let's try to carry out a small calculation.

Steps in creating a fabric painting

I'll make a reservation right away that the terms are approximate, average.

Read also:

1. It is necessary to collect the material, think over the sketch - about 2-3 hours.

2. Creation of a picture, sketch, template - 3-5 hours. With the multilayer technique, a separate stencil is made for each layer. This naturally lengthens the time.

3. Preparation for work. Selection and cutting of fabric, washing it to remove special impregnation, drying, ironing, if required - 3-5 hours.

4.Pulling the fabric onto the stretcher - about an hour (depending on the complexity of the work and cutting the fabric).

5. - depends on the complexity of the picture. On average 2 hours.

6. Preparation of tools, checking the dye on an unnecessary cut, selection of shades. 1 hour.

7. Application of the reserve composition with cold batik. Approximately 2-3 hours.

8.The painting itself. This time varies, each master has its own. Let's take an average period of 4-10 hours for work of an average degree of complexity.

9.Drying the product (it happens by itself, time is not wasted).

10.Preparation for fixing the colorant: removing from the frame, rolling into a roll in case of heat treatment. Not more than an hour.

eleven. . Ironing - 0.5 hours. Steam treatment - 3-4 hours.

12. Washing work, ironing - no more than an hour.

13. Processing a product for practical purposes (scarf, shawl). Most appreciated is the hand hem in the form of a steering wheel. Painstaking and very accurate work. On average, it takes 3-5 hours.

14. Photographing the resulting work. Image processing. 2-3 hours.

16.Packaging the goods before sending them to the buyer + time spent on the Mail - 2-3 hours.

And this I also describe the cold technique of painting fabric, when working with wax, the process itself increases by several hours, because the reserve composition is applied layer by layer, and then removed with paper.

And in the case of free painting, the matter still needs to be primed.

In any case, you can clearly see that the process of creating batik is laborious, energy-consuming... And this has not yet been a question of the author's skill, of the personal brand that the artist has created for himself over the years. That is why the default handmade cannot be cheap, because apart from long hours of labor, a piece of the soul of its creator is invested in it.

Master class "Painting of fabric in the technique of" cold batik ". Acquaintance "

Author: Ekaterina Aleksandrovna Gulkova, teacher of the art department of the MU DO VDSHI Taldom municipal district MO.

The master class is intended for middle and senior children school age, technology teachers and educators additional education, parents.

Goal:
Acquaintance with the painting of fabric in the technique of "cold batik"
Tasks:
Strengthening fabric painting skills
Development of a sense of harmony, color, composition
Development of accuracy, attention, artistic taste

Materials and tools:

Fabric (cotton, artificial silk, natural silk (toile, crepe de chine, chiffon) at choice)
Hoop or frame with buttons
Silk paints (use of watercolors is possible)
Reserve
Applicator or glass tube
Brushes (squirrel, pony, columns to choose from)
Decorative contour for fabric.

Working process:

1. Be sure to wash the fabric with soap (fabrics are sold with a special coating, it will interfere with the absorption of paint).
2. While still wet, stretch the cloth over the frame or hoop it. Let it dry.

3. Choose a template that matches the shape and size of the hoop or frame. On the Internet there is a huge variety of templates and sketches. Do not take templates with small and numerous details - simple and fairly large shapes are suitable for a small format. My template is hand-drawn.

If you use your own drawing, then you need to circle everything with a marker and adjust the template to the shape.

4. We fix the template from the inside out with paper tape.

5.From the front side, draw along the contour with a pencil. Usually the template shows through the fabric well. (You can do without a pencil - apply the reserve immediately according to the template, which is visible through the fabric. But in this case, the template should be at some distance from the fabric and not touch it. Otherwise, the reserve will blur with ugly spots at the points of contact between the template and the fabric).

6. After you have outlined the contours with a pencil, remove the template. And you can start applying the reserve. The reserve is used to prevent ink spreading and mixing. It should be applied very carefully so that the reserve necessarily saturates the fabric. All lines must be closed carefully, without breaks. Otherwise, the liquid paint will find even the smallest hole and blur behind the contour with a stain. When the reserve is applied, leave it to dry. The drying time may vary depending on the type of reserve. I left the reserve "Batik Hobby" to dry for a day. I also want to add that glass tubes and applicators have different nozzle diameters.

7. Fill with color starting from the background. The paint can be taken undiluted, or to obtain lighter colors in a separate container, dilute it with water (make the desired color). Take a little paint - it is very concentrated. If desired, colors can be mixed and obtained new shades. Much like mixing watercolors.

8. Then we start painting the figures and elements of the composition. This is the most fun part of the job! Leave it to dry completely. The paints will fade slightly as they dry, so you can add color in a second coat where needed.

9. On this you can finish the work or add some nuances and accents with a decorative outline on the fabric. I used the Dekola outline. Let it dry completely again.

10. To give the work a finished look, I cut the fabric in a circle with a small allowance and glued it to the inner hoop from the wrong side. Voila! The work is finished and you can decorate the interior with it! The place where the hoop is tightened can be used as a fastener.

Important nuances when choosing materials:

1. Fabric:
By far the most ideal option there will be natural silk, but this is a very expensive pleasure.
Artificial silk will give the work a shine, but it is very difficult to use: the fabric is quite dense, and the reserve may not soak it through the first time, the paint on the artificial silk spreads extremely reluctantly, since it is poorly absorbed into the fabric.
Cotton fabric is the golden mean. The material is inexpensive, it accepts paint well, it is easy to work on this fabric.

2. Paints:
This master class was made using silk paints "Batik Hobby" (Gamma). This is the most budget-friendly option for silk paints. They mix well with each other and are consumed quite sparingly. Without fixing the paint on the fabric (steaming the product in a water bath), the product is afraid of moisture. The ingress of water on the finished product and wet cleaning are unacceptable.
You can use silk dyes fixed to the fabric with an iron (for example, "Batik Hobby Acrylic", "Marabou", "Yavana")
It is possible to use watercolor paint.

3. Reserve:
In this master class, the reserve "Batik Hobby" on a gasoline basis was used. It has one very significant drawback - a very strong smell. Therefore, only children of the older age group can work with him in well-ventilated rooms. At the same time, it is one of the most reliable reserves - it holds paint perfectly. It is sold in plastic jars and to work with it you need special glass tubes or applicators (plastic containers with plastic or metal tips). I use Javana applicators
There are reserves based on the gutta. I have not worked with them yet, but according to reviews, their smell is not as strong as that of gasoline reserves.
The best option is a water-based reserve. It is odorless. But you need to work with it more carefully, since its paint retention qualities are lower than that of others. I use the Marabu water reserve - it is sold in tubes, ready to use without additional tubes and applicators.

4. Brushes:
Squirrels, ponies, speakers will do. In my opinion, the best option is protein. It is smoother and sharper than a pony, but a softer column.
I do not recommend using synthetic brushes in this work. They hold liquid paint differently and often, when the brush touches the surface of the material (paper, fabric), they give all the liquid at once. That is, it turns out not a smooth return of the paint, but a sharp, large drop.
The bristles are also not suitable - too hard.

In this article I will tell you in detail about the materials and tools that are used to create “cold” and “hot” batik, as well as painting in free technique.

Let's start with the fabric. When creating batik, it is better to give preference to fabrics from natural fibers... The advice of many artists is to start the first trial work on chintz; cambric, calico, crepe de Chine are also suitable for beginners. With the acquisition of experience, we discover new materials: crepe georgette, toile, crepe chiffon. Personally, I work on chintz, crepe satin, natural silk.

Works on crepe satin shine. Paints on it play with all shades of mother-of-pearl. On chintz, bright, clean, sonorous works are obtained. Each color has its own clear voice, but at the same time there is no dissonance in the sound.

I really didn't like working on artificial silk. For some reason, the paint “went away”, lost color and some kind of indistinct grayness turned out. I was surprised by the behavior of the reserve - it was spreading. Maybe it’s not so lucky for me, but everything will be different with artificial silk.

Before work, we must wash the fabric, rinse and iron. We wash to wash off the substances that give the fabric a presentation. We iron to make it comfortable and pleasant to work with.

In any case, the choice is yours, there is a huge field for experiments. Trying to work with different fabrics, you will surely find the one that will be ideally suited to the realization of your ideas.

The next item will be stretchers. A stretcher is a frame on which fabric is stretched for further work. If the painting is small, a hoop can be used instead of a stretcher, but the fabric must be pulled like a drum.

Medium to large work is done on wooden stretchers, preferably soft woods, so that the buttons fit easily. Wooden stretchers are available in predefined sizes or professional - sliding.

The extendable subframe is very convenient - it does not take up much space and is versatile. It consists of four slats that are fastened together and adjusted to the size of a specific job. Then it can be disassembled and used for the next one.
Before stretching, I advise you to cover the stretcher with masking tape. This will keep it from leaking paint, which can stain new work if the stretcher is used further.

The next item is fabric bindings. I pull it up with the power buttons. I recommend securing thin, delicate fabric with pins or special three-toothed buttons.

The fabric on the stretcher should be stretched evenly and tightly. To achieve this effect, we begin to attach the fabric with buttons in the corners, then we fix the opposite midpoints of the sides and then continue the stretching process until we achieve elastic vibration of the fabric when it touches the fingers.

The piece of fabric should be four centimeters longer than the stretcher in length and width.

The question often arises of how and how to transfer the pattern to the fabric. I put a sketch under it and circle it with a felt-tip pen, which is also used when working with embroidery. The lines of the drawing disappear upon contact with water.

Previously I tried it with a simple pencil - it cannot be washed. The gel pen remains on the fabric and can be used if the color matches the outline color.

Once I, wanting to wash it off, washed my work in the washing machine ... and so, the colors faded, and the lines made with the gel pen remained. An attempt to work with capillary pens resulted in ugly stains on the fabric. In the end, I made a choice in favor of "magic" markers, having stopped experimenting with the rest of the stationery.

It is very important to take a responsible attitude to the choice of glass tube for applying the reserve and the reserve itself when it comes to “cold” batik.

The glass tube is a system of three parts: the first - the longest - is a straight glass tube, the second is spherical, where the reserve is located, and the third is the outlet - a curved spout through which the reserve flows out.

There is a wide range of glass tubes in stores. They have different outlet diameters. Thanks to this, you can choose a tool for thin lines or thicker, depending on your preferences. When choosing, pay attention that the tip of the tube nozzle is free of visible defects and always at an angle of 135 degrees.

The pipe requires a careful, careful attitude towards itself. She is very fragile. Each time after the end of work, it must be washed with any solvent, in order to avoid drying out the remnants of the reserve inside. If a cork from a dried reserve forms in the tube, you should carefully clean its nose with a thin wire.

The reserve composition has a pungent odor, and its consistency resembles a batter. The composition for the contour can be prepared by yourself or bought in a specialized store. Depending on your goals, you can choose a colorless or colored outline.

Always pay attention to the shelf life of the reserve and its consistency. The composition must be uniform.

There are water-based reserving compounds, but they keep the circuit worse and often leak. The Gamma Reserve is ideal for beginners, but you should work strictly away from fire in a well-ventilated area to avoid exposure to gasoline fumes and rubber glue.

After applying the contour, let it dry for a couple of hours. You can speed up this process with a hairdryer.

Batik paints can be conditionally divided into two types - steam-set and heat-set. Steam-fixed ones require fastening by steaming. Thermal ones are fixed by ironing with a hot iron. Some craftsmen fix the color by putting the work in the microwave.

I use paints that require heat treatment. After ironing, the colors of my batik become bright, saturated and stable. After fixing, the work can be easily washed, the color will not go anywhere.

When I just started my acquaintance with batik, I used steam-set paints, and there were many disappointments. If you do not fix such paint, any drop of water will spoil it, and if it is incorrectly or insufficiently steamed, the paint is washed off and the color fades. I didn't like working with them.

Many firms produce batik paints and outlines. Professionals prefer products under the brands "Marabu", "AvantGarde", "Gutta". For beginners, very a good option - these are sets of acrylic paints for fabrics from Gamma or Decola. In addition to paints, the Gamma kits contain a glass tube, a reserve and instructions for use.

Painting is done with brushes of different sizes. Synthetic or natural hair brushes, such as squirrels, ponies, speakers, are suitable, but after work you need to thoroughly wash them in warm water and soap, not allowing them to dry out. You can also use sponges.

I work with brushes. I use flutes for large areas, and small brushes are ideal for detailing.

In this article, I tried to consider everything that may be needed when working on the first batik. The only thing I can add is act! Despite the difficulties described, working on fabric is very interesting and exciting. You will like the result, and maybe it will be the beginning of a long creative path. I wish you success!

Fashion is constantly changing. Every season we see new collections of clothes from famous boutiques. Day after day, designers are working to create unique things that are quickly losing their relevance. So so valued designer clothes, made in a single copy. However, there is an opinion that wardrobe items made to your order are insanely expensive.

It should be said right away that this is just a myth, because you can make beautiful clothes yourself using the batik technique - hand-painted fabric. And even if your work is done by the hands of beginners, it will still look no worse than the work of a world famous designer! If you look at the definition that Wikipedia gives us, it becomes clear why: “Batik - hand-painted on fabric using reserving compounds. October 2, 2009 was included in the UNESCO list of masterpieces of the oral and spiritual heritage of mankind. "

People began to paint fabric for a very long time. Batik was popular in Asia, Africa and the northern countries - archaeologists find painted canvases all over the world.

It was on this island that the technique was given the nickname "ambatik", as a result of which it got its current name. The term "batik" was first used in the 18th century in the Netherlands.

The Javanese are so good at technology that they became famous all over the world. The women of the island created huge canvases, believing that they have healing and healing properties. Each family passes on their knowledge and skills from generation to generation. Moreover, each family has its own consistent style of painting. Previously, only aristocrats could afford to have painted clothes, but after a while ordinary people began to decorate their things.

In the circles of archaeologists and scientists, there is often debate about the time of the birth of fabric painting. Some argue that batik appeared in the XIV century, while others are inclined to believe that they began to decorate things with paints at the beginning of our era. Anyway, hot batik appeared long before cold batik. This is due to the fact that a solution that would allow a pattern to be applied to fabric without heating was invented only at the beginning of the 20th century.

Types of batik

There are various types of fabric painting. For the most part, this is due to the fact that various kinds of products are decorated with batik. Accordingly, the effect of applying paint is different.

The most common directions in fabric painting:

1. cold batik... On the future product, an image is applied, on the contours of which a reserve composition is carefully applied, preventing the dye from falling outside the line. A special tube is used to apply the reserve. After the fabric dries, it is painted with liquid paints;
2. hot batik... This type of painting is characterized by the fact that hot wax is applied to the picture, fixed on a stretcher. After it hardens, the product is painted;
3. shibori... This paint technique is native to Japan. Simply put, this is a pattern that is obtained by folding the fabric in several layers;
4. knot batik ... Knots are tied on the fabric and twisted, which allows you to get beautiful stains and patterns;
5. free painting... Does not imply the application of a reserve composition, paints with a thickener are used.

For example, if you want to paint a scarf, most often in this case, the reserve is not applied, experimenting with the shibori technique. And if the artist has a goal to create a great work on a stretcher, then he will make a choice in favor of free painting or cold batik - in many respects it all depends on the genre.

Materials and tools

If you decide to master batik, you need to stock up on all the necessary materials and tools in advance.

We will need:

1. paints - special coloring compositions are sold specifically for batik - both from imported and from domestic manufacturers. They differ in composition, price and method of fixing. For example, some paints are set with steam and an iron, while others require regular water;
2. brushes - brushes may be needed different sizes, so it is worth preparing them in advance;
3. the cloth - you are not limited in the choice of fabric for batik. You can use silk, chiffon, satin, and even regular cotton. You can also try to paint a finished product;
4. reserve tubes - useful if you work with cold batik technique. With their help, it is convenient to apply a reserve;
5. reserve composition - some craftsmen recommend buying a reserve of the same brand as the paint. Usually the composition is colorless, but sometimes pigmented, for example, black. It can be mixed with the desired color directly in the process;
6. wax - used in hot batik technique. Sold ready-made, but you can also do it yourself;
7. frame for batik - it is necessary in order to fix the fabric in a taut position. You can buy a ready-made frame or make it yourself;
8. palette - needed for mixing paints;
9. pipettes - can be useful for a set of paint or a reserve;
10. scotch - used to protect the frame from paint ingress. If you do not use tape, then you can stain the light-colored fabric used next time;
11. pins, buttons or stapler - required to secure the fabric to the frame;
12. alcohol - needed to dilute some dyes;
13. coarse salt - can be used as a means of helping to dry individual areas of fabric as quickly as possible. Also used to obtain a dot pattern;
14. water - needed for diluting some paints and cleaning brushes;
15. simple pencil or pen - necessary if an illustration is applied to the fabric.

Cold batik

Cold batik is relatively simple compared to hot batik, the process is safer, so it is more often chosen as a technique for children than hot batik. There is no need to remove the reserve used with this technique: it lays down in a thin layer and looks neat. The main thing is not to draw too bold a contour, since the reserve is applied to it so that the colored paints do not spread and do not mix. There is no need to heat the composition either: it is completely ready for use and is sold in almost every office supply store. Kids can invent pictures for painting on their own.

First, select the fabric and pull it over the frame, having prepared everything you need in advance. We transfer the image to matter, and then we fill the tube with a reserve composition, walking along the contour.

When the fabric dries, we dilute the paint with water so that they are as liquid as possible, but rich and bright. The paint should be applied carefully so as not to go beyond the contour. Otherwise, colors will mix up and the artwork will look messy.

The finished product can be decorated, for example:

• gel with glitters;
• rhinestones;
• sequins.

Sometimes works made in the technique of cold batik are embroidered with beads - here everything depends solely on the artist's imagination.

Hot batik

Hot batik, the technique of which is considered the most difficult and laborious, allows you to create beautiful patterns on fabric. Thanks to the wax, an unusual effect is created, similar to "craquelure" or "crackle". Having mastered the technique, you can paint the fabric, achieving interesting combinations of dyed and unpainted places on the canvas, varying bright and pastel shades.

Previously, for painting in the hot batik technique, chanting was used - a special tool for working with molten wax. Now a bunch of alternative ways of applying paraffin have appeared: for example, special stamps.

First you need to prepare the material and that's it necessary tools for hot batik. The first step in getting the job done is to soak the fabric. This is necessary to wash out of it all the chemical solutions added by manufacturers in the manufacture of matter. For this, ordinary baking soda is taken and dissolved in clean running water. The fabric is soaked in the prepared liquid for about half an hour.

Next, the fabric is attached to a stretcher. To do this, as mentioned above, you need buttons, paper clips or pins. It's better to stock up on pushpins as they grip well and are easy to remove. Paper clips are suitable for those jobs that remain on the same stretcher. That is, it is much more difficult to remove them, moreover, the fabric is highly deformed. But if you do not plan to arrange the work in a different frame, then give preference to a stapler.

The first layer of color can be applied before sketching. It is important that the material is impregnated with the dye sequentially, from light to dark.

Next, a sketch is drawn. You can use a pen or a simple pencil, depending on the tones of the work, on what scale prevails. If the color scheme is warm or pastel, then in no case should you use a pen. It is also not necessary to push the material with a pencil; you should draw very carefully so as not to deform the surface. If you are using a very light or translucent fabric base, you can put a sheet with an illustration under it with a marker or felt-tip pen so that it can be seen through the canvas on a stretcher.

Moving on to the most interesting thing - applying a wax reserve and painting the canvas. It is impregnated with all parts except the lightest. The dried paraffin wax is removed with an iron and paper. To save money, you can use old newspapers or clippings that you do not mind throwing away. This is done in this way: after the coloring agents have dried, the material is ironed with an iron, so that the entire frozen reserve is on paper or newspaper. After the paint is fixed and the procedure of transferring the wax to the paper is repeated, if the solution is still on the fabric.

Shibori and knotted batik

These techniques are most often used to decorate clothing. If you want to decorate your scarves, T-shirts, T-shirts with different patterns, then this is what you need. Shibori and knot batik are different from the two techniques described above. Reserving, wax and any other composition is not used.

Shibori, vaguely reminiscent of origami, involves folding the fabric in several layers to obtain a symmetrical pattern. The knotted batik consists in randomly tying knots. Later, from what happened, a drawing is formed, or some kind of pattern is formed.

Free painting

This technique is remarkable in its own way: it also does not involve the use of reserve, but the effect is more than impressive. Free painting comparable to watercolors, but on a damp cloth. This technique creates beautiful transitions from color to color.

The brush is driven without a preliminary sketch or sketching - that is why the batik technology got its name.

All work is done very quickly, because the matter dries quickly, which is why the paint can form ugly smudges.

Master classes

In conclusion, it is worth saying that when starting to do something new, it is always useful to study the information. Viewing master classes will greatly help a beginner. They demonstrate painting on fabric, showing all the nuances and little things in the work. And in order to paint a beautiful picture, it is important to consider every detail.

Therefore, important aspects in the batik technique are master classes, training, studying information. Then you will definitely achieve the result you expected.

Remember that learning is an integral part of the whole process.

Hot and cold batik may seem like a complicated technique, but this is only at first glance. Anyone can create beautiful paintings, clothes and more. Hot batik, a master class in which it can help you to master it, allows you to do something that you cannot buy in any store.

Shibori, although not like other types of batik, is also very exciting. Moreover, this technology allows you to make unique wardrobe items with your own hands. Great idea for fashionistas and fashionistas who like to stand out in the crowd. By the way, if you are going to experiment with your own clothes for the first time, it would not hurt you to watch master classes - this will avoid many mistakes. We have tried to prepare an exhaustive report on batik, we hope it was useful to you.
