Title: Would you colour mum and dad please?
Post by: oldtimer on Wednesday 05 March 08 14:00 GMT (UK)

Hi friends

Would you be kind enough to colour this photo of my mum and dad please?

Dad had brown eyes and very dark brown, almost black hair. Mum has blue eyes and mid-brown hair.

Thank you so much!

Judy  ;)

Hi Judy

The 'spottiness' I think is caused by patterned photo paper
Hopefully I have been able to remove it
and do a quick colouring

Hippy :D :D :D

What a delightful restoration, Oldtimer! What skill these people do have.

I must try and sort out my old b&w pics too.

You really must be joking. You should have seen what a mess I made of the Venice Canal scene we did at watercolour class this morning. Ugh!
Talk about letting your colours run!

Any other hobbies I could do instead?
