Picture:Murano Glass

Elegant, fragile and light
Venetian glass.
This mysterious crystal
From miracle master created.
Took mountain the cleanliness of the winds
And the pure white clouds
And the blue sky family,
And green centuries-old pine trees,
And the sunrise when
Ash-pink water
Channels in the city native...

In Venice you don't forget
To take back
Particle marvelous glass
That memory was long
About the city's early years -
This world is no more.

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.
