Works include Botticelli s Allegory of Spring, Fra Angelico s The Annunciation, Bosch s The Garden of Earthly Delights, Vermeer s The Music Lesson, Van Gogh s Wheat Field with Cypresses, and Picasso s Portrait of Marie-Therese, to name a few. Upon completion, there is a spot on the back of each coloured project for the colourer to add their name to the original artist s, and each piece is on perforated paper, so as an added feature, each reproduced painting is detachable and frameable. This beautiful book is handsomely designed with sturdy binding and paper that is perfect for such mediums as coloured pencil, pen and ink, and watercolour, and it makes a unique gift for both young and old
