Picture: Pastoral

Renounce the worries,
Forget the yards and streets labyrinths,
Run to where the field and flowers,
And to believe that in all the land one you...

Face to substitute the warm beam,
Sonata herbs accidentally overhearing.
To cling to the lips pure key -
Kiss and touch the roots...

And the silence in the palms of your hands to hold,
To preserve peace, granted once,
And all earthly things to take
Where even a small change suggests an important.

And to acquire a unique world
Barely inscribed strokes,
And touch the strings of those cherished lire
Whose breath will shed new poems.

( V. Solyar, "The Pastoral")

The picture is made with pastels on the sketch in gouache on thick 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.
