Description

Featured is a rare draft front cover art for the 1991 children's book, "The Fish Who Could Wish" written by John Bush and illustrated by the celebrated artist Hamish Vigne Christie aka "Korky" Paul of "Winnie The Witch" fame.

The draft art is on very fine paper, around A4 in size, and is further glued onto another page to create a border. It's been drawn using black ink pen and painted using numerous watercolour washes, and has been signed by the great man himself on the bottom right with annotations.

It's got every element that would make it onto the final painting here already. Paul could have just done paint by numbers at this point with everything decided already in this rough.

Hi Marcus. Long time no speak. Yeah, totally agree. The draft is near to the final art. It's been painted using watercolours too, as said. Pretty unusual. Love Korky Paul's style. 😎
