Stilin Studio it is good to hear from you. What are you up to? Haven't seen a post on your blog in a while.<br />Susan, I had to laugh when I read your comment because I did the photo in batik because I was to chicken to do it in regular watercolor. The photo had a person in it and I wasn't sure I could paint a person. <br />I appreciate the encouragement everyone!Vicki Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270035257336054899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173185050050232433.post-86767020096184267292010-01-23T16:20:12.747-05:002010-01-23T16:20:12.747-05:00Vicki, when Jane posted this photo for us to paint...Vicki, when Jane posted this photo for us to paint I was too chicken to try it even in just watercolor!

It's certainly tricky to get each layer of paint a bit darker, but you really carried it off. You make me smile! Now for the next one......maybe with less control of the colors to add even more intrigue? This will look fabulous framed, too.Sandy Maudlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962887841683409190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173185050050232433.post-19056403532356681202010-01-22T21:28:06.470-05:002010-01-22T21:28:06.470-05:00Girlfriend you do love a challenge indeed!

I have another picture picked out to try but it is smaller and less complicated.<br />Christiane thank you! Yes I bravely crinkled up my painting and then added waterproof ink diluted with a bit of water to the broken wax while holding my breath - lol. It is approx. 14x20 inches. Jump in and give batik at try, it really is fun.Vicki Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270035257336054899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173185050050232433.post-30343982405817406882010-01-22T18:58:33.487-05:002010-01-22T18:58:33.487-05:00Vicki, this is gorgeous!

Did you...Vicki, this is gorgeous! Congratulations! <br />Did you add ink or dark watercolors at the end before removing the wax?<br />I hope that you will decide to do more of these batiks. <br />A few months ago, I went out and purchased the wax, the rice paper and even a tiny electric frying pan, everything I need to try this technique; somehow, I still have not tried it. I sincerely doubt that anyone could have a better first batik than this one. How large is it?Christiane Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10550714224805511513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173185050050232433.post-79602199087646130562010-01-22T18:53:58.960-05:002010-01-22T18:53:58.960-05:00Vicki - this is to die for.
