Taken 20 years ago on the Dingle Peninsula, Ireland. Black & White photo printed on Agfa Portriga paper. Hand painted with Marshals photo oil paints.

Hand painting. Now there is a craft that you don't here much about these days.

An excellent example and a very fine image.

What is this technique? Painting over a photo? Its a nice image. I love cows.

Thanks Donald & Debbie. The method I use is to print a Black & White photo on matte photo paper & sepia tone it. I then use Marshall's photo oils which apply a transparent color so the photos details remain visible. The oils are applied with cotton swabs and cotton balls. For fine detail lines I use the Marshall's pencils. I then have the photos scanned to digital.
