Indonesia is a tropical country that has an abundance of flora. Tamarind or Tamarindus indica is one of the most famous trees and fruit in Indonesia. Now, these plant wastes are starting to be processed to be taken by the artisans to be made into powder or powdered tamarind seeds (Gutta Tamarind). Gutta tamarind becomes a substitute for wax or clay used in the batik process. Gutta tamarind is often referred to as cold batik because it does not use a heater like a process commonly found when using clay or better known as batik gutta tamarind. Gutta Tamarind’s exploration as a technique in painting aims to make technical innovations and this tamarind gutta can be used as an aesthetic element in a painting. The research method will be carried out by developing techniques in painting through an exploration of the gutta tamarind medium as a color barrier and showing various artistic breakthroughs generated by the variety of research and exploration of its constituent materials into paintings as a substitute medium for brush strokes. It is hoped that the results of this study will add insight into the use of environmentally friendly plant waste and produce paintings with aesthetic elements and new artistic breakthroughs.
