Colouring a photo
« on: Thursday 07 June 07 14:39 BST (UK) »
Hello.

I am new to these boards but have looked at the great work some of you have done when colouring the photos and wondered if anyone could have a go at this one for me?



This photo was found in my great aunts belongings when she died earlier this year. My Nana has told me that the hat was black and the coat was a pale green colour (she had light brown hair) would anyone be able to have a go at colouring it in for me? It would be great to show my Nana and would be interesting to see it as it was so to speak.

Thanks
