Wraith of the Nile: Watercolor in Ancient Egypt

An ethereal wraith floats over the desert near ancient Egyptian ruins under a pale moon. The specter is translucent, cloaked in torn linen shendyt with a faint gold-tinted aura, its glow mingling with the soft light of glowing eyes. It glides between crumbling temple walls carved with hieroglyphs, a low Nile backdrop with papyrus fronds, while distant pyramids and an obelisk loom. Painted in watercolor with wet-on-wet washes, soft bleeds, and grainy paper texture. Color palette of desert golds, dusty pinks, blues and greens, cool moonlit highlights kissing the edges, with the wraith leaving a faint misty trail. Mood: serene yet eerie, otherworldly; composition centers the wraith, ruins and pyramids receding into the background.
