lately I have been using my negatives as a thing to hand color

this image is the actual image I made on the photo paper and I hand colored it and used the hand colored negative as my final image instead of improvising with the negative scan ( if that makes sense ).
the process is as follows:
hand coat paper with liquid emulsion
expose in camera or in the sun
long exposure
develop long exposed paper in caffenol with lights on
fix wash and dry
use wax pigments and hand work the negative
