Hand Color

Hand Colored Photograph

The most traditional of all retouching; hand color on sepia or black and white fiber base paper.

Using oil colors and pencils to highlight faces and clothes or to colorize completely, as shown.
A subtle and elegant look, hand coloring has a timeless quality that cannot be duplicated.
