Wow! Great effort there. I like what I see.

**Peter Rockstroh** · 11-14-2020, 06:33 PM

Thanks John. It is a lot of fun. Much like coloring books for adults

Liney · 11-14-2020, 07:43 PM

Its a great image, the animals in the background add a certain something to the solemnity of the abandoned house.

Angelic Layer · 11-14-2020, 10:03 PM

Was it difficult to hand tint the whole picture?

Nice effort and an interesting shot.

Great composition but appears to washed out.On another note maybe it would work in black and white.

Thanks. I think you missed the point. This was taken inB&W, primted in B&W with low contrast and color was added later. I don’t intend imitating a color print, but creating a mood with the colors I choose. If it looks odd to you, that’s not surprising. Very few people still do hand-colored images

I really like this. I can't really fault it at all. You have obviously spent a lot of time and effort and I think it has paid off. Well done. I like the animals too! Did you photograph the print to put on here or scan it?

Thanks RPJ. I photographed the print. I think that a scan wouldn’t pick up the texture left by the pens or oil colors

Nice shot. Good job on the hand tinting.

A great deal of work put in on this image!
Reminding me of an older style of photographic art.
Good one!
