Watercolour paint used in photographic hand-colouring consists of four ingredients: pigments (natural or synthetic), a binder (traditionally arabic gum), additives to improve plasticity (such as glycerine), and a solvent to dilute the paint (i.e. water) that evaporates when the paint dries. The paint is typically applied to prints using a soft ...
Milk paint is a nontoxic, milk-based paint bound with casein. It can be made from milk and lime , generally with pigments added for color. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In other recipes, borax is mixed with milk's casein protein in order to activate the casein and as a preservative.
One of the qualities for which artists value casein paint is that unlike gouache, it dries to an even consistency, making it ideal for murals. Also, it can visually resemble oil painting more than most other water-based paints, and works well as an underpainting. Casein paint loses its solubility with time and exposure and becomes water-resistant.
View from the Window at Le Gras 1826 or 1827, believed to be the earliest surviving camera photograph. [1] Original (left) and colorized reoriented enhancement (right).. The history of photography began with the discovery of two critical principles: The first is camera obscura image projection; the second is the discovery that some substances are visibly altered by exposure to light.

An early Australian proponent of this kind of work was the English painter and photographer Frederick Frith who moved to Australia around 1853. By 1855 he was advertising salt paper prints finished in oils, watercolours or crayons which he called ‘Chromatypes’.
The stripe of white milk in the middle of the road inspired Hines, a member of the Wayne County Road Commission in Michigan, to paint centerlines in Wayne County to separate two-way traffic.
What isn't mentioned in the referenced book is the particular year in which the term "ambrotype" was first used. Ambrotypes were much less expensive to produce than daguerreotypes , the medium that predominated when they were introduced, and did not have the bright mirror-like metallic surface that could make daguerreotypes troublesome to view ...
Imbibition printing was initially in monochrome. The basic underlying principle is that bichromate development of a silver gelatine photographic emulsion (not strictly a real chemical emulsion) results in the gelatine being differentially tanned or hardened in proportion to the exposure received, and blackening obtained.
