Pattern: Unearthly motif

To the Blue Lotus in the boundless heights,
Leaving the city, going to be the lonely trail.
The ringing of the bells, like frost, clear and clean,
Jet stream — as if bleached by the moon.
Here unearthly incense candles chadyat,
Here unearthly motives do not know the shackles,
I detach myself from the world in silence after retiring,
And take in all the myriad worlds.
Heart, purged of time bonds will break,
To forget forever, and the fall and rise of the.

(Li Bo (701—762/763/G. )-poet of the Tang dynasty, the " Blue Lotus").

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.
