Was the paint added later? And is the artist also the scribe?

I've been thinking about this question for some time, and I think there is evidence that at least in the herbal section, each scribe also drew/colored their own plants. On the other hand, the nudes in the Cosmological/Astrological section are by the same artist as those in the Balneological/Biological section (Quire 13), but the two sections are by different scribes (4 and 2 respectively), so in that case, the artists and scribes weren't the same. In other words, the evidence suggests to me that both scenarios are true - there are times when the scribe was also the artist of particular pages, but other sections where that isn't the case. I'm still working out the details, but that's how I currently see it.
