A Subject Theme painted in traditional watercolor on rough cold-pressed paper, celebrating strong pigment granulation and natural sedimentary speckling. Wet-on-wet base wash creates blooming, soft feathery transitions; granulating pigments (ultramarine, cobalt, potter's pink, lunar black) separate into visible grains along puddle edges and washes, with delicate micro-speckles and flocculation. Composition: rule-of-thirds with a clear focal shape, generous negative space, medium view, gentle perspective, slight vignette guiding the eye. Lighting: Lighting Mood. Palette: Color Palette, with restrained neutrals to enhance grain contrast; cohesive warm/cool bias. Paper tooth and uneven wash textures clearly visible; dry-back tide lines and soft cauliflower edges around highlights. High fidelity to tactile watercolor textures: crisp detail in granulation, soft edges elsewhere, matte finish.
