Wax pastel - Wax pastel painting

Imagine a bustling batik workshop where artisans skillfully create intricate designs on fabric. The scene is filled with soft pastel tones reflecting the vibrant colors of the fabrics. Transparent watercolor layers add depth to the workshop's warm ambiance. Techniques like layering and glazing enhance the details of the batik patterns and tools used. Wax pastels provide texture to the fabric and the artisans’ clothing. A light gouache white wash highlights the focused expressions of the artists, evoking nostalgia for Malaysia's rich textile heritage in the 1950s and the artistry involved in batik-making.
