Hand Colored Engraving Procreate Kit | Charles Henry Dessalines d'Orbigny

During 19th century, hand-colored engravings became highly popular in Europe and America. They were often used in books, magazines, and as standalone pieces of art. Hand-colored engravings are valued both as historical artifacts and as works of art, appreciated for their beauty, craftsmanship, and the unique touch added by the hand coloring process.

Hand-colored engraving art refers to prints that have been produced by engraving and then colored by hand. This art form combines two techniques: engraving and hand coloring.

• Engraving: This is a printmaking technique where an artist uses a tool called a burin to carve a design into a metal plate, usually copper. The incised lines are then filled with ink, and the plate is pressed onto paper to create an impression. The result is a print that can be reproduced multiple times.
• Hand Coloring: Once the prints are made, each print is individually colored by hand, typically using watercolors or other paints. This step adds a unique touch to each print, as the colors and details can vary from one print to another.
