Hand-tinted Photograph

Another found photograph hand-tinted by myself using pencils and mineral oil. This photo is in great shape and everything went well with no visible oil marks or anything.

Here's a little bit of my "step by step":

Hand-Coloured Photographs

Another set of Hand-Coloured Photographs I have made using the Lakeland Fotocol Kit and the Johnson's oil.

Hand - Coloured Photographs

Not a long time ago I found on ebay a nice old colour kit to be used in B&W photographs in very good condition. The box has everything, even the original cotton to apply the oil onto the picture was there!  

So today I finally decided to use it, I went to the antique market close by and bought about five old photogrpahs to try the kit and here are the first results.  

 

My first impression is that the colours works better on brighter pictures. The picture with the man is a bit too dark when scanned but looks much better on the original.

  

And here's the Kit... It's called Lakeland Fotocol, on the top of the box it's written "To Sally, with love from auntie Mary and uncle Ron , 1958".
