The Freestyle Advisor #5 - How To Handcolor a B&W Print |
| |
 |
Handpainting of photographs has been around since the beginning of photography. It
allowed the creative, artistic nature of the photographer to add, alter or completely
change the feel of the photographic image. It allows the photographer expression and
interpretation in creating their own personal style. Though it is possible to create similar
handpainted images each time, due to the hands on approach, no two will ever be
exactly alike. Why should they be? Like you, they are unique works of art.
