“A young woman lives in a remote country 
area … and has no other pleasure, no other 
aesthetic enjoyment on winter days that seclude her from the whole world, 
than to see her merry young face in the mirror and to watch the play of her 
bare arms and hands with a comb … . Her face and everything else in the 
picture is young and fresh. There is not a trace of modernistic refinement. 
But the simple, real-life atmosphere, illuminated by youth, is joyous  
and lovely.”

1 Alexandre Benois (1870 –1960)  –  a painter, a graphic, an art critic, a writer on the 
work of Russian and foreign masters, and an outstanding scene painter who worked 
in the theatres of Moscow, St. Petersburg and in many cities in Europe and America.

pastel drawings are made using soft crayons known as pastels [‘p{stlz]. 
Some paintings are made using fast-drying, egg-based paints known as tem-
pera [‘temp@r@]. Paintings can also be made using water-based paints  –  ei-
ther transparent paints 2. ... or opaque [@U‘peIk] paints (not transparent) 
known as gouache [gU‘S]. Oil paintings are made using glossy, slow-drying 
oil paints. These paints are based on “drying oils” 3. ... , for example, 
which harden slowly when exposed to the air.
Frescoes are wall paintings, made by painting watercolours onto  
wet plaster.
