Opaque matte gouache: confident flat color shapes, visible brush edges and restrained paper texture. Translate forms into simplified painted masses; skin, hair and fur are grouped brush shapes with selective detail, never strands. Eyes and nose are opaque paint shapes with one matte painted highlight. Keep the paint opaque, not a translucent watercolor-only treatment. Brush texture visible everywhere. No photographic highlights or detail, crisp strands or glossy eye reflections.
Two rounded neighborhood ghosts carefully straighten an oversized blank community noticeboard on a quiet street corner at dusk. Vertical 9:16 frame. The big cream board with a simple warm-brown wood frame stands slightly tilted mid-straightening across the upper two thirds, its wide bare face an unbroken stretch of soft cream filling roughly half the picture as clean open space; one ghost at the lower left steadies the left edge with both stubby arms while the second ghost at the lower right reaches up to true the top-right corner, both leaning into the work with practical focus, not grinning. Small pavement details — round cobblestones, one crack with two tufts of muted-teal grass and a single fallen burnt-orange leaf — stay inside the bottom band, and the ink-blue evening street corner fades simply behind the board.
Even dusk light falls from the upper left, warm on the board's cream face and cool ink-blue across the shadowed corner behind, with flat painted shadows in the medium's own language beneath the ghosts and board on the pavement. The board is completely bare, its face plain and unlettered, and the cobblestones and leaf carry no marks either.
