This painting is soft and blurry, with two ghostly figures standing under a pale arch. The colors are washed out—pinks, blues, and yellows—like a faded dream. One figure is tall and light green, the other is a shadowy shape in blue. The artist used pastel sticks on colored paper, which makes the colors look smudged and alive. The lines are loose, almost like scribbles. Try looking up *pastel* to see how artists use soft chalky sticks to make this dreamy effect.
