Care Beneath the Arch
A wheelchair user wipes a low stone candle ledge in a sanctuary alcove, surrounded by warm plaster washes and a tall arch.

Finished editorial watercolour illustration, 2:3 portrait, with loose dark felt-tip contours and broad translucent colour washes. One wheelchair user in side view occupies the lower-left, gently wiping a low stone sanctuary ledge with a coral cloth. Give the caretaker an exaggeratedly broad ochre-clad torso, small head, short dark hair, minimal face and simple hands. A clearly recognizable manual wheelchair has two bold wheel circles and an uncomplicated frame. One unlit ivory pillar candle rests at the far end of the ledge. A disproportionately tall rounded sanctuary arch rises behind them, its warm plaster texture suggested by soft pigment blooms, not detailed masonry. Muted terracotta, ochre, cream and charcoal; soft daylight from the left. The wiping gesture is the focal point. Leave generous quiet space above and to the right. Respectful, everyday care, playful proportions rather than caricature. No intricate hatching, diagrams, text, logos or watermarks.
