fore edge painting - test


Press the book between two boards and see what happens when I apply watercolour.
 
fore edge painting

Not too bad for my first fore edge painting. 

These are Japanese paints Gansai Tambi so they have a thicker texture than modern European Watercolours.  Think more like watercolours were like during Albert Durer's day.  (now that's a painter!)

Oh, nice! That's a fun way to add a personal touch to a book. From what I can see, you did a great job on that first try!
