Picture: secrets of the sea

I found her on the seashore;
it's made of gold, covered with pearls;
Europe wet took her hands,
sailing alone with the divine bull.

I force blew into the crack, like distant thunder,
the sea burst pipe appeared over the shores,
and out poured the story, not dying for centuries,
thoroughly imbued with the seas and sand.

Bodies like I had a dream of Jason,
and the bitter winds of the sails inflated bosom
"Argo"-the ship, breathing the same salt,

I hear the voice of tempests, and murmuring waves,
unfamiliar chime, and the wind, full of mystery...
The heart thumping, the heart pain...

(Ruben Dario, "Sink").

The picture is made with pastels on the watercolor sketch on textured paper. Halftone colors change depending on lighting. Feature of pastels is that the ink mass is the individual pigment particles, reflected from which the light scatters in different directions, giving a special colorful layer luchistoi, velvety, specific "pastel" softness.
