The beautiful Batik painting depicts the bank of the Holy Ganga ghat where devotees take a dip at the holy river. Some people are painted in two boats whereas others are getting ready for their dips. Batik is one of the most popular genres of paintings in India. Batik literally means 'wax writing'.
A batik artist needs to have a good sense of colors and patterns. Though the motifs used in batik are simple, knowledge of color gradations and tack to remove wax finely are required. The method of waxing and dewaxing, though a long process, gives rise to a special effect here.
Applying the wax resist and systematic cracking are the key to a beautiful art piece. The characteristic batik effect is created by cracking of wax on the lighter hues and seeping in of the darker colors though them.
