. Start with a pale, wet-on-wet foundation wash, then build 5-8 stacked translucent washes, each fully dried before the next. Use transparent pigments only, preserving paper whites for highlights and lifting gently for glow. Subtle value-building: light to mid to deep tones, edges soft to firm, with controlled blooms, gentle granulation, and selective drybrush texture for final accents. Composition uses rule-of-thirds, clear focal point, moderate negative space, slight vignette softness. Lighting: Lighting Atmosphere, with directional light shaping forms and reflected color in shadows. Color palette: Color Scheme, harmonious, low-to-medium saturation with one accent hue reserved for the focal area. Paper texture visible (cold-pressed), soft feathered transitions, minimal outlines, crisp details only at the focal plane. Render as traditional watercolor on cotton paper, calm, airy, layered depth.
