Batik Painting

I bought three batik painting kits for kids some time ago after chancing upon them in a kids' arts class nearby my favourite coffee house.

They are meant for me - something safe and simple to recapture my amateurish hobby.

Sea world themed

I chose to do the simplest - 'Nemo'

Each kit comes with a brush and six colours.

Some instructions and samples at the back of the kit.

They are meant for kids, 3+ and above.

The batik canvas is stapled to a cardboard frame which is meant to serve as a picture frame for the finished product. I tore out the centre so that the colour will not wet the cardboard and mess up the canvas.

The edges of the cardboard could be tucked together to form a raised surface for painting.

This is how it looks like raised.

Ready for the paint.

Voila! The completed kids' art. It took me about 30 minutes. However, I'm not that pleased with this piece. Something is missing and seems like I've lost my sense of colour.

This piece of 'Nemo' was done last year and was gathering dust on my work table. I've bought some magnets and hung it on the fridge last week. It's my temporary display before framing all four to be hung on my wall.

Voila! Side by side for now.
