We had a lady in Alabama that was a master in hand oiling and added color to a portrait we would shoot of a client. She could make it look like a very high end oil painting. Kodak even had a competition back in the early 70s for that. They would mail us a 4x5 B&W negative and a 8x10 color photo of the subject from a different angle. She would use that as the reference, and had oil a 16x20 print and make it look amazing.
Long before the days of photoshop. She would use a chemical bleach from q-tip to lighten dark areas of a print, and dyes to color it. It was very tedious work. I am really glad we have Photoshop now. That make is a million times easier.
