The other print is now to be colored. For this one may use either oil or water-colors. If water-colors are used, they should be mixed with Chinese white to give them body. The paints are applied roughly, the only care being necessary is to follow the outlines of the objects, and to use appropriate colors. The result will be a daub without any special form.
When the colors are dry place the print under the transparent picture, matching the outlines of the two pictures perfectly. If the print has been rendered transparent by varnishing, it is best to attach it to a glass by pasting it at the corners before fitting the colored print over it. Back the two prints with a piece of thin white card-board, and place another glass back of the paste-board. Bind the glasses with a strip of adhesive paper, such as is used for binding lantern slides, and then frame or finish in any way desired.
If the film has been transferred to glass, a pretty way to finish the picture after the painted print has been fitted to it, and the glasses bound together, is to take gilt paper and cut an opening of a size to correspond with the picture, and place it over the face of the picture like a mat. Put another piece of plain paper over this and fasten to the picture. The picture may either be framed or bound with ribbon.
This is a good way to use up spoiled plates, and after a little practice one can make very good colored pictures.
