Picture: " The Head of Christ", N. A. Koshelev, copy

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."

( quote from the Bible)

The painting "The Head of Christ" is included in the "Passion Cycle" by N. A. Koshelev. Painted by the artist especially for the church of St. Alexander Nevsky. To date, it has been moved to the Alexander Courtyard in Jerusalem, where it hangs in the guest room.
The copy is made with pastel pencils according to the sketch color ink and gouache 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.
