With an acclaimed local artist, rediscover the old-fashioned method for hand coloring black-and-white photographs on digitally printed images. Each participant will hand color both historical and current photos using Marshall Oils and colored pencils. The course will also include lessons in photo selection, the intricacies of medium and photographic paper selection, and techniques for preserving colored photos. The historic photos have been reprinted with permission of Barbara Clatworthy Gish, daughter of famed historic photographer, Fred Clatworthy. Ms. Gish has given permission for each student to hand color some of her father's historic photos. Before the advent of color film, Fred Payne Clatworthy hired women to hand color many of his black-and-white photos. The women were paid around 25 cents per picture
