Seeing you do all of this coloring in inspired me to make my first quick attempt at one.



Fantastic photography by the way.

Also what technique did you use to paint onto the original photograph?

 

[ALB68]

Not bad (but what do I know-LOL). Your skin color may be more authentic to the period. Women liked to have that pale washed out look back then. I guess it was to show the world that they were of a position where they didn't have to expose their lily white skin to sun, by working (God forbid) outside.
