Picture: Couleur bleue

The color of heaven, blue color
I fell in love with from an early age.
In childhood he me meant
Blue other began.
And now that I've reached
I tops of his days,
The sacrifice of the rest of the colors
Blue will not give up

It is beautiful without embellishment -
This is a favorite eye color,
This is a look bottomless thy
Seared blue,
It is the color of my dreams
Is the paint height.
This blue solution
Submerged terrestrial space

It's an easy transition
Into the unknown from worries...

( N. Baratashvili, "Blue color", translated by B. Pasternak)

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.
