Colourisation please
« on: Saturday 11 June 16 21:49 BST (UK) »
Hi,
 I would be really grateful if this photo of my grandparents could be coloured in. My grandad was in the Royal Horse Artillery, his eyes were grey and my grandmother's eyes were brown.
Thank you in anticipation.
 Regards from Quester

Hi Stevew101
Thank you so much, they are beautiful! They really bring them both to life and it's lovely to see the uniform in all it's detail.
I am very grateful.
 Best wishes from Quester. :)

Wow! Handypandy, You certainly did - it's beautiful. Thank you so much, you are very skilled and it is much appreciated. It is interesting how you and the other artists thought my grandmother's dress should be the same colour. I have no idea of course what colour it was, but maybe to your skilled eyes you all thought that the deep maroon was the most likely.
 Very best wishes and many thanks again. Quester.
