Finished editorial watercolour painting, landscape 2:1, with expressive hand-drawn marker contours. From an elevated oblique viewpoint, one broad, squat crescent island occupies the left two-thirds, curving around a sheltered turquoise cove. Four closely grouped cottages have exaggerated skinny heights, uneven rooflines and oversized coral, ochre and teal roofs. A single short wooden landing projects into the cove, suggesting a shared arrival point. Keep the community legible as one compact silhouette, with only a few simple windows and no intricate architectural detail. Transparent watery colour fills, occasional pigment pooling, loose dark-blue marker edges and warm ivory paper showing through. Soft daylight, minimal shadows. Open pale-blue water across the right third provides breathing room; only two broad ripple strokes. Playful, deliberately simple shapes, no hatching or decorative clutter. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
