Picture:Cherry color

"Cherries flowers
As if they had fallen from the sky -
So good!"

(Kobayashi Issa, 1768, Japan)

In Japan, cherry blossom symbolizes clouds (due to the fact that many cherry blossoms often bloom together) and metaphorically denotes the ephemeral nature of life.The Evanescence, extreme beauty, and rapid fading of flowers are often compared to human life.Sakura-the dominant motif of Japanese culture.
The picture is made with pastel pencils according to the sketch color ink on cotton textured paper . 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.
