Original Watercolors by Lula Filbert
Welcome to my Website!
I have always been drawn to watercolors' luminosity and brilliance. During our 17 years working and living in Indonesia, I was also deeply drawn to the art of batik. My passion is to bring joy to others by combining both of these beautiful mediums.
A Batik Inspired Watercolor in the Making
Batik is a form of fiber art that has been widely used in Indonesia for hundreds of years. Hot wax is drawn on fabric in a chosen design, serving as a resist, which prevents the dye from reaching the fabric in those places. Because skips in some lines and drips in others are inherent in the process of applying the wax, the fascinating shapes that result add to the beauty of the work. As the cloth is dyed, cracks may form in the wax, which appear on the finished product. The process of waxing and dyeing is repeated several times to create colorful and elaborate designs. This form of batik (known as batik tulis) requires the skill of a master craftsman and takes several months to produce.
