Watercolor Loose Portrait — Wet-on-Wet Technique

Transform this photo into a LOOSE WATERCOLOR PORTRAIT using wet-on-wet technique.

**Person shown**: [describe the subject]

Watercolor characteristics:
- Wet-on-wet technique: colors bleeding into each other at edges
- Paper visible in key areas — unpainted white space is PART of the composition
- Paint pooling and granulation visible (especially in shadows)
- Drips and runs of paint trailing downward — intentional, expressive
- Color blooms where pigment spreads into wet areas

Painting approach:
- Face: more detail and control (features recognizable)
- Hair: loose, flowing brushstrokes — barely contained
- Shoulders/body: very loose, fading into abstract washes
- Background: splashes, splatters, and washes — completely abstract

Color palette:
- Limited to 4-5 colors maximum (watercolor authenticity)
- Options: warm earth tones (burnt sienna, yellow ochre, indigo) OR
  vivid modern (quinacridone rose, phthalo blue, transparent orange)
- One signature color that dominates the mood

Paper texture:
- Visible cold-press watercolor paper texture (rough, dimpled)
- Cockled/warped edges where the paper absorbed water
- Pencil sketch lines faintly visible underneath (initial drawing)

The portrait should balance between recognizable and abstracted — the viewer fills in what the paint suggests.
