What is a Hand-Tinted Print?

Many of my prints are available in their native black & white form, or, with color highlights as hand-tinted prints.

Example of a hand-tinted print

Hand-tinting refers to the process of adding color highlights to black & white photographs or black & white reproductions. The particular process used involves the application of water color(s) applied with a brush and/or pastel color(s) applied with a cloth. Note that any tinted prints are part of the same edition and not a separate edition. In other words, if print #43 is sold as a hand-tinted print, no other print #43 of the same image and size exists.
