Picture: The sun filled the room

The sun filled the room
Yellow and through dust.
I woke up and remembered:
Honey, today is your holiday.

That 's why it 's snow - covered
The distance outside the windows is warm,
That's why I, sleepless,
How did the communicant sleep.

(A. Akhmatova, "The sun filled the room")

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.
