Sunflower batik


You need:
  1. white drawing sheet A4 size
  2. oil pastels
  3. pencil
  4. tempera paint brown or black
  5. liquid soap
  6. brushes
Draw some sunflowers on the sheet and on the edges. Colour them with oilpastels, press heavily. Wrinkle the sheet into a ball; make sure the picture is on the inside.


Smooth the paper out. Use black or brown tempera with a tiny bit of liquid handsoap, and paint over the entire paper.


Then rinse the paper under cool water. The paint sticks in the little crinkle wrinkles giving it that batik look.


Leave the work to dry and press it flat between two books.

  2. I've done this before with other subjects, but I like the sunflowers. And I'm not a big fan of sunflowers. These are so cute!
