In fact, Batik – hand-painted on cloth with the use of reserving compositions. As a rule, Batik artists use such fabrics as silk, cotton, wool, and sometimes even synthetics. For each tissue is necessary to use a special ink and to obtain clear boundaries at the intersection is used a special fixative ink. Also called reserve, this ink consists of paraffin, gasoline, water, or, depending on the chosen technique, fabrics and colors.
