Have you tried "Peerless Transparent Water Colors" for hand coloring? I
like them much better than the oils, as they give me better control and
I can really layer colors and blend them nicely. And they're relatively
inexpensive!

I have a sample at

if you're interested, also using the new Kodak C41 film. 

But I use them for my IR work a lot (I don't have any on-line).
