Colouring the cards..

I have not coloured any of the cards except the Ace of Cups, I am not really satisfied with. I coloured it with tempera, but I have been thinking about an alternative , more period colouring: plant based paints.  Some years ago  I participated on a course , where I learnt how to prepare paint from plants for use on paper and wood, but to be honest I have never practiced this skill. Moreover I have no paint ready, and to produce them I had to wait till summer:). But at least I have the plants in my garden, or the seeds.

In the meantime , here is my tempera-coloured Ace of Cups….
