Dramatic night scene--quite unusual to find--a full moon, the indigo sky and black bamboo--what mastery to create a mood like this! Boatman on the water looking for a night's catch! Notice how the white dots and line really help to give live to this piece!

Termed "Batik Tulis" this artform was done with using melted wax to define an image with little dots and lines, allowing the wax to dry, then painting it in. Afterwards the piece is boiled to remove the wax leaving all the white exposed. How cool is that?!
