Hand Painting a Black and White Photograph

I did this painting by hand painting onto a photograph, the colors that i have used aren't the actual colors on the photograph. Its like a traditional technique that they used to use in the dark room. The would add ink or a dye to the places they would want it and make it from there. This was seen as a arty way of photography and combining the two together. You can now do this digitally in photoshop which is more precise and you can get the colors more natural. This is good for if you wanted different colours in the picture as you could take different sections and make them either unnatural or more natural. I do like this kind of method but it takes a lot of time and you need to be good with shading, I think if i had some practice this could be fun to do.
