Picture: Dreams

Everything promised me it:
The edge of the sky, dull and red,
And a sweet dream at Christmas,
And Easter wind mnogozonnoy,

The bars and red vines,
And Park waterfalls,
And two large dragonflies
On the rusty iron fence.

And I couldn't believe it,
That he will be friendly with me,
When on the mountain slopes were
Hot stone path.

(A. Akhmatova ," everything promised me it")

The painting is made in pastel on a gouache sketch and colored ink on cotton textured paper based on the works of Catherine Welz-Stein. Halftone colors change depending on lighting. Pastel is on the verge between drawing and painting and requires very good lighting. Then the infinity of shades appears, the game of translucent layering.
