John,
after you complete turning all your bridge photos into colored sketches, you should enlarge them as a set & hang them at your home or at your office if your work in one. They really came out amazing. It really shows off so much detail.

John,
You have done wonderful things with these bridges, they really should be hung up for all to see.

I have a series I took in Vermont several years ago and would love to do this. Since I am new and don't understand the forum ways yet, can you tell me how to find Kevs tutorial? or is it for a paid subscription only?

John, this is beautiful. These really should be framed and hung on your wall. What a nice way to preserve a part of our heritage.

John, that turned out beautifully! Did you print it out yourself or have it done elsewhere? If you did it, what kind of paper did you use?

Hi Martha,

Pleased that you like the sketch. Yes I do the majority of my printing. Gallon House Bridge was printed on two kinds of paper; Epson Premium Luster and Enhanced Matte. I also use Red River Paper for my printing. The Enhanced Matt finish has a somewhat softer tone. I hope that helps.
