Picture: Evening

There is a grace in autumn evenings
Touching, mysterious charm:
Sinister brilliance and diversity of trees,
Languid crimson leaves, light rustling,
Foggy and quiet azure
Over sad-Siracusa earth
And as a premonition of coming storms,
Gusty, cold wind sometimes,
Damage, the exhaustion and all
That gentle smile of fading,
In the rational creature we call
The divine shame of suffering.

( Fyodor Tyutchev )

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.
