Wax resist painting is a technique where melted wax is applied to a surface as a barrier, preventing certain areas from absorbing paint or dye. Once the wax is applied and hardened, the surface is painted or dyed. The wax resists the paint or dye, creating patterns and designs by revealing the untouched areas. After the painting process is complete, the wax is removed, unveiling the final artwork. This technique is used in various cultures around the world and can be applied to fabric, paper, ceramics, and other surfaces. It allows artists to achieve intricate and detailed designs with a layered effect.
