La douceur d’une étude botanique

Paint a botanical study of [plant species] with one main stem and several leaves in different stages of growth. Show carefully observed leaf shapes and veins. Use translucent watercolor washes in sage, olive, and deep forest green, with fine graphite accents on lightly textured white paper. Arrange the specimen slightly off-center with generous negative space. Soft natural light, restrained palette, delicate edges. No lettering or decorative frame. Portrait-friendly composition.
