Little French Pitcher Batik - Watercolor Lesson with Guest Artist Kathie George

Описание: BRUSHES
Use old brushes for waxing, because the wax can’t be removed from a brush. I wax with a round brushes size 3, 8 and a one-inch flat that I use only for batik.

For painting, I use assorted flat brushes, which include a one-inch flat, and a 1 1/2″ flat (which I carry on my website).

SURFACE
I use Awagami Ginwashi rice paper for most all of the batiks I paint. However, any transparent or semi-transparent oriental paper can be used, so experiment. Each one gives the painting a different look. We carry the Awagami Ginwashi on the website: www.kathiegeorge.com

SUPPLIES
Electric frying pan with temperature control or wax pot iron
Masking tape newspapers paraffin wax (also used for canning)
Permanent and waterproof ink pen – I use a Micron Pigma .05 black
Waxed paper
Optional: Cretacolor Pastel Pencils or other good-quality pastel pencils.
Most of these supplies can be found on my website: www.kathiegeorge.com
