This is my 11th grandchild, just a year old now. Caleigh is a sweet girl who is good-natured and happy. She talks all day long, baby talk of course but the happy kind with a smile on her face. The technique used to do this painting is called batik and it's done on rice paper. Hot melted wax is applied, layer by layer, until the whole paper is coated. In between watercolor paint is added until a satisfactory finish is achieved. The wax is then cracked off by crushing the paper. Black paint is aplied in an even coating. The excess is blotted with paper towels. The final step is to iron off the residual wax between layers of newspaper.
