Here are the completed hand-coloured prints...

You can see that the one in the middle looks a little different. That's the one I coloured on its own a few months ago. The ones surrounding it I coloured at the same time and there are only minor variances.

Okay... now it's back to finishing the inking on "The Wish".

This video was recorded at one frame every two seconds...

...and even at that rate, it still takes a long time to colour the red in and around all of those leaves.

So I thinks to myself, "WHY, exactly, can't I colour these things on the boat?"

You just never know until you actually try these things...

Three more colours to go.

Adding more colour, one colour at a time, to all four prints of Brain's "Vaille Que".

Only about 5 more colours to go...

I had to come home from the boat in order to help out my mother. (Doesn't she realize how short the summer is around here?)

So while I am back at the apartment I figured that I'd colour Brian's Vaille Que prints. There isn't enough room on the boat to work on four of these at the same time.

I've decided to do these "production line" style; one colour at a time, all four at the same time. I have a finished coloured print that I use as my colour guide but I still find myself thinking as I start the first one, "Okay, how do I do this?" Then, on number two, "Okay, how did I do that?" Number three: "Okay, I know how to do this." And ultimately on starting number four, "I have to do ths again?"
