Hand Tinting Encinitas Boat Houses with Marshall Photo Oils

Описание: In this narrated tutorial I'm hand tinting a black and white photograph of the Boat Houses in Encinitas, California with Marshall Photo Oils.

The boat houses at Third Street were built in 1929 by the talented architect and carpenter Miles Minor Kellogg and his son Miles Justus Kellogg. The boat houses were built from salvaged wood from the Dance Pavilion and Bathhouse at Moonlight Beach, which was demolished in 1925.

This is a 12x8 inch photograph that was printed with a light jet by a local lab on luster Fuji Crystal Archive Photo Paper. Marshall Photo Oils are dedicated oils that were created in the early 1900's for hand coloring (or also called hand tinting) black and white photos and illustrations. Colors I used were burnt sienna, sky blue, sarge blue, background tan, cadmium yellow and oxide green and added the colors to the photo with cotton rounds, swabs and eye tees (very pointy cotton swabs good for detailed stuff). You can add or remove the paint with these tools.

I like to start with large areas with cotton rounds, such as the sky, and work my way down to the details using cotton swabs and eye tees. When I go "over the lines" I clean that up later with cotton swabs. The oil lays on top of the photo and can still be easily removed as long as the paint is wet (it takes a couple of days for it to dry). When coloring a particular area that is surrounded by a previously colored section, I like to use cotton swabs in order to avoid "going over the lines" (otherwise this could ruin the previously colored area).
