‘Batik tulis’ or “batik lukis” or hand drawn batik in Malaysia were introduced ,firmly believed by Master or “Sifu” of batik Wan Nong Ahmad in year 1970s in Kuala Lumpur .The first batch of apprentice under Wan Nong Ahmad to learn and produced hand drawn batik in Malaysia -Azman,Md.Noor and Salleh and the second batch –Hishamudin Ahmad, Khalid Shamsuddin Arshad and Rahman Rani.In the year 1970s also the using of batik stretcher or frame adopting from Japanese Kimono dyeing techniques. It different from Indonesian hand drawn batik, the dyeing process without using stretcher or frame.
In year 1980s in hand drawn batik was introduced by “Overlap” technique of coloring or dyeing which mean more than one layer of wax and color are using compare to previous technique where just a layer of wax with few color are used. Who’s the first batik artist to create “Overlap” technique? I have no idea about that cause many batik artist blaming that they are the first in the market.
Nowadays Malaysian batik has developed its own particular aesthetic, recognizable by it distinguishes pattern and vivid colors.
