The art of "batiking" is similar to the one of drawing or painting on a piece of cloth.
The main tool, the canting is used in staed of a pencil or brush, and liquid wax in stead of paint.
Finely detailed designs are first drawn freehand with a pencil on the textile. Then hot liquid wax is applied. Here above, a Javanese woman applying wax in the intricately involved patterns with a canting, a small copper container with a long slender spout. From time to time she blows on the tip of the canting to secure an easy flow of the wax. Areas not slated for coloring are filed with the wax.

The cloth is then passed through a vat of dye. The wax is removed with hot water, scraped
from the portions of the dried material still to be dyed. The parts that were covered by the
wax did not absorb the dye and thus remain white (or whatever color the original cloth was
previously dyied). Since the wax behave as a resisting medium, this process is called
resist-dye process.
Next, other areas are waxed over. this is repeated during each phase of the coloring
process, up to four or more times, until the overall pattern and effect are achieved.
A canting with more than a spout (it can be up to seven) is used for patterns with dot forms.
Basically, as an art, batiking is painting. The canting is used to produce the picture; its size
depending on the type and degree of fineness of the lines or points desired
