Thank you again for continued participation in our group color activity! We hope that everyone will continue to participate. Also, if you have any feedback or suggestions to help this continue to grow please send us a message below in our comment thread.
For people who are new to the activity, here’s a bit of a run down: It’s not a competition, but it is a group activity that we hope will help people with their colorizing technique. People of all skill levels are encouraged to participate!
How it works: Download this black and white photo, color it and then submit your colorization to this post. This will be a way to see how close your pic is to others and we can all learn how to colorize. Are you a beginner? Practicing a new technique? Want to make sure you’re not getting rusty? You’re all welcome to participate, and we encourage people of all skill levels to participate. This isn’t so much of a competition as it is an opportunity to learn from each other.
Please note, there is something new that we are going to try this week! We will leave contest mode on until Wednesday. Contest mode hides people’s upvotes/downvotes and also hides any comments that are not top level. The reason we are going to try removing contest mode after Wednesday is in the hopes that people will feel more comfortable to read all the great comments and feedback that people receive on their photos. We want to encourage dialogue and feedback and hope that this will be beneficial to the people who participate. That being said — Please do not downvote images that have been contributed! Everyone here is doing this to share, learn, and improve our craft, so we strongly encourage you to leave a person a comment with a suggestion or feedback instead.
Rules:
Only image submissions are allowed as top level comments so that we can make sure that pictures do not get lost in a flood of comments. People may comment on someone’s submission. We also have a comment below where you can come to us with any questions or comments pertaining to this activity.
Completed colorizations of this image must stay within this thread for the week during the event. If you post it as a separate thread, we will remove it so that each image gets equal representation. This will also help reduce numerous posts of the same image on the main page for people who are not interested in participating
Constructive suggestions are allowed and strongly encouraged. Rude, hateful, and derogatory comments will be removed.
This week’s image of Chester Beach was taken by Gertrude Käsebier around 1908.
