Jadi Batek Centre, Kuala Lumpur’s largest batik handicraft centre launches a new revolutionary online batik painting tool today. Known to be the first in the world, the tool allows users to paint a batik online with a click of a button. Users simply choose a template, colour it in batik way and click a button to remove the outline to produce an online batik painting. Users can either print out their online batik painting or save in the public gallery.

This online batik painting application will give the users the basic concept of batik painting. “We launched this application with the simple goal of raising the awareness of Malaysian batik through the internet to the world,” said Colin Yong, General Manager of Jadi Batek Centre. “Many people are interested in Batik but don’t understand what batik is and how to paint a batik. With this Online Batik Painting application, I believe many people will have a better understanding on how to make batik. It’s free, fun and educational. It is so easy that the children will enjoy it as well,” added Yong.

At the beginning stage, there are 5 templates for users to choose from. With a click of a button, a user chooses a colour and paint on the templates. Depending on where the user clicks on the template, the colour will have different gradation effect. After finishing with the batik colouring, the user clicks the “Dewax” button to remove the outlines of the template. The outline will turn into white lines and it is similar to real batik painting where the wax outline will be removed and only the colour remains in the final stage.

We will add more templates in the future and the users can try on different templates with different batik colour effects,” said Colin Yong. Users can either print their batik masterpiece from their printer or save it in the public galleryto share with other batik lovers.

The online batik painting application is expected to make waves in Malaysia as batik remains Malaysia’s most treasured cultural heritage.
