I've been planning to try my hand at hand coloring for some time now. Finally made a concentrated effort over the past week. This is one of my more successful tries. It's done with watercolors. I actually printed the B&W image on Arches 300# cold press (very rough) watercolor paper (not inkjet). My Epson 3800 handled it well. I made this copy for web posting by placing the hand colored print on the floor, and shooting down on it with a tripod mounted camera. Here is the starting (infrared) image http://ed-k-photo.smugmug.com/gallery/6988948_kjHp8/1/579127759_i78t7/Large edit
