What Is a Hand-Colored Engraving?
A hand-colored engraving is a printmaking technique where an artist or colorist applies watercolor or pigment to a black-and-white engraved print, creating a unique piece that blends the precision of engraving with the warmth of manual coloring. Each hand-colored piece carries subtle variations in hue and saturation, making it distinct from mass-produced prints.
