Acrylic Faux Batik

Watermedia Batik

Geisha Trio, Watermedia

My favorite watermedia artist Stephen Quiller, writes in one of his water media books that one watercolor style acrylic technique  has the quality of batik.  Ah-ha I thought, I have studied traditional batik and could apply this knowlege to a new type of painting.  The following artworks are created in this faux batik style.  It is my personal invention based on his ideas.
