Finished editorial watercolour painting with expressive hand-drawn marker contours, 16:9 landscape. From a slightly elevated viewpoint, one comically broad, low rocky island occupies the lower-left half. Four resting puffins form a small nesting colony on its moss-green top: squat pear-shaped black bodies, creamy chests, oversized orange triangular beaks, tiny folded wings and simple dot eyes. Vary their widths and facing directions; keep each silhouette distinct. One bird nestles low beside another, without complicated interaction. Three broad curved turquoise bands sweep around the island into open space at right. Warm cream paper, slate-blue rock, soft green grass, restrained orange accents. Transparent watercolour fills with occasional pooling, loose dark marker edges, no intricate feather detail or hatching. Gentle diffuse daylight, quiet playful mood, clear thumbnail-scale shapes and generous breathing room. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
