RE: Hand colored drypoint with gold details.
Hecking beutifull. by the name "drypoint" you mean dry brush strokes/damp brush? I'm not familiar with the term

Thank you so much @uv10! :D Drypoint is a way of printmaking. :) It is when you use a sharp tool to engrave an image into for example a copper plate. You then put ink on the plate and drive it through a press with a piece of paper that the image will transfer onto. The first image is pure drypoint, but because the image was so weak I chose to put some paint on top of it to create a stronger image. :)
Here is a post I wrote about the process of drypoint if you want to learn more ;)

Cheers!
Thank you for sharing that link. I've had an experience at the Rembrandt museum in Amsterdam working a printmaking machine, that is maybe similar to what you are describing.
