Watercolor Pet Portrait — Artistic Style

Transform this pet photo into a beautiful watercolor painting.

**Subject**: [describe your pet — e.g., "a golden retriever with floppy ears" or "a tabby cat with green eyes" or "a black French bulldog"]

## Watercolor Style
- Loose, expressive brushwork — NOT photorealistic
- Visible paper texture (cold-pressed watercolor paper grain)
- Wet-on-wet technique: colors bleeding into each other at edges
- Deliberate white space where paper shows through (especially around edges)
- Paint splatter and drip effects around the subject
- Soft color blooms where pigment pools

## Color Approach
- [choose palette]:
  - "Natural" — true-to-life colors with artistic interpretation
  - "Vibrant" — saturated, jewel-toned version
  - "Monochrome" — single color family (sepia, blue, or indigo)
  - "Rainbow splash" — realistic face, abstract colorful body/background

## Composition
- Head and shoulders portrait, eyes as focal point
- Eyes should be the most detailed part — sharp and expressive
- Body becomes progressively looser and more abstract
- Edges dissolve into paint splashes and drips
- Clean white background (or very minimal color wash)
- Subject slightly off-center for artistic composition

## Details
- Fur rendered with individual brushstrokes (not blurred)
- Nose and eyes with tiny highlights (wet paint effect)
- Whiskers as single confident brush lines
- Collar or bandana if wearing one (simplified, painterly)
