Tempera Batik Process (AKA The Peter Process):
1. Draw a chalk or charcoal picture on sugar paper using thick lines and a simple design.
2. Paint inside the chalk lines using powder paint mixed with cellulous paste and use any color but black. Don't paint over the chalk lines.
3. Let painting dry completely. Use a brush to gently cover the painting with one coat of ink. Don't overlap brushstrokes.
4. Let ink dry for about 30 minutes. Then place the painting on a board in the sink. Slowly pour cold water over it and gently rub away ink. (Do not allow ink to dry too long or it will be too hard to wash off.)
5. Set painting on newspaper to dry. The ink sticks to the painting in some places, just like batik, and even if parts of the paint peel off under the water, it is likely to still be an interesting image.
6.To protect the painting and bring out the colours, you can cover the surface with PVA glue when it is completely dry.
