For Ostara I gave my page a young lady with pale skin and blonde hair. After I had colored her face with the tulip fabric pens it just seemed like the colors were too strong so I got a little bottle of tulip brush on soft white paint and went over the flesh colors. It toned things down a lot and gave the surface of the fabric a sort of velvety feel. It gave me whites for her eyes and the highlights in her eyes as well. After I overpainted the face I did go back and redo many of the brown ink lines to give the face more definition. I gave her a branch of Dogwood blooming beside her as it was my favorite flowering tree as a child. Ostara is a time of renewal.
