Great video Shelly, I love the way you teach. You have given me some new ideas to try besides rocks. I am thinking I might try distant ripples in water and I love the idea of a background. Thank you for sharing.

This is the best demonstration I've seen for this technique. WHAT IS THAT WORD YOU USED? Petique? I haven't heard of that before. Could you explain what that is?

[@anayansi5275]

Batik: Batik is an Indonesian technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to the whole cloth. This technique originated from the island of Java, Indonesia. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a canting,[n 2] or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap. The applied wax resists dyes and therefore allows the artisan to colour selectively by soaking the cloth in one colour, removing the wax with boiling water, and repeating if multiple colours are desired.

Hi Shelley, I’m posting this here even if it doesn’t relate because I’m hoping you’ll see it considering this is your latest demo. I’m Laura, beginner watercolorist obsessed with learning how to paint clouds. I’ve watched all your sky/cloud videos and they are the best I’ve seen so far, thanks you so much for being so generous with your time on The Wednesdays demos. I live in Tucson, AZ, USA and here everyday we have amazing cloud formations. I have been taking photos for a while and there is one particular kind that I’m not sure how to paint, the clouds have some kind of a “whoosh” shape? If I send you my photos would you consider using them for one of your demos please?

Looks like the stem of a palm tree where fronds have dropped off.
