GPT Image 2.5 · en

A loose watercolour painting of a small coastal town on a steep hillside, on a 3:2 landscape sheet of rough
cold-pressed paper, painted from across the water at a low vantage point.

COMPOSITION
The town rises diagonally from the lower right to the upper left, filling the right two thirds of the sheet
with stacked whitewashed houses and terracotta roofs. To the left, a strip of harbour water occupies the lower
third and opens toward the upper left, where the paper is left almost entirely unpainted. In the immediate
foreground at the lower right, a short flight of worn stone steps and a low wall anchor the composition and are
painted darkest. A single small boat sits on the water at the middle left, very simply described, no rigging
detail. The sky is bare paper with one pale wash at the very top edge. No element touches the sheet's edges;
generous margins are left on all four sides.

WATERCOLOUR TECHNIQUE — this is the subject of the painting as much as the town is
Wet-in-wet for the sky and the water, so the two bleed into each other along a soft horizontal band. Wet-on-dry
for the roofs and the walls, so their edges stay crisp on the lit sides and soften on the shadowed ones. Where
two washes meet, one is allowed to bloom into the other and the granulation of the pigment settles visibly in
that boundary. Roof terracotta granulates into the wall below it in places. Several edges are deliberately lost:
the far end of the town dissolves into the sky with no line at all. The paper's tooth shows through every wash,
and a few small dry-brush skips appear where pigment was dragged across the grain. Whites are unpainted paper —
there is no white paint anywhere in the image.

PALETTE — four pigments only
A warm ochre, a burnt sienna for the roofs, a cool grey-blue for the water and distant hill, and one deep
indigo for the darkest notes in the foreground steps and the shadowed sides of two or three houses. Colours are
allowed to mix on the paper rather than on the palette, so the greys lean green in places and violet in others.

CONSTRAINTS
No people, no animals, no vehicles, no boats beyond the single one, no cranes, no washing lines with legible
laundry, no signage. No text, no signature, no stamp, no watermark. Do not tighten the painting: no hard
outlines around buildings, no evenly-filled shapes, no white body paint, no digital-looking gradients. Do not
paint every window — most house fronts are left as a single wash with one or two dark window marks only.
