In this spectacular Batik painting, the Lord of Wisdom is painted sitting in a chariot being drawn by his vehicle rats. There are as many as eight rats here and the background of the painting is also nicely treated. An ancient art form, Batik is a form of making paintings using wax. The technique of batik is a rigorous one as the final design must be conceived before the painting is begun. The batik painter works intimately with colour pattern; if he wants parts of his design to blue, for example, all these parts must be waxed at the same time before any subsequent dyeing. The technique of batik is a rigorous one as the final design must be conceived before the painting is begun. He cannot separate one part of his design and complete it before moving on to the others as an artist in oils or water colour may; he must create his design in stages, each of which encompasses the whole picture. The selection of waxes is important to the quality of the finished batik. Paraffin and beeswax are the two waxes commonly used in batik and are usually combined in different proportions.
