Would you colour mum and dad please?
« 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  ;)
Best wishes, 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
Please scan all photographs at 300-600 dpi.
Please feel free to colour/modify any restores posted by me.
An acknowledgement would be much appreciated.

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?
