This is a foredge painting I made using ink, watercolour and metallic watercolour. This is a pre - owned paperback which has a crease in the front cover and first few opening pages. In trying out a new technique with Ink there has been some bleeding on to edges of pages inside book (Please see pictures showing this) noted for future painting! This would make a unique gift for those in your life that enjoyed this book or as a special treat for yourself to adorn your bookshelf! The metallic watercolours are somewhat fragile in nature so I recommend that this is for display over reading to better preserve the paint. Flicking/Fanning through the pages can cause the metallic paint to flake off. Your Book will be packaged carefully and securely and sent with Royal Mail Tracked 48. Many Thanks x
