Finished editorial watercolour illustration, landscape 2:1. Steep downward view from a rocky lakeside ledge. One exceptionally elongated coral-red open canoe crosses the right half diagonally, its oversized curved bow pointing toward the upper right. A compact child with a round torso, tiny head and simple hands wears a chunky yellow life jacket and makes one clear paddle stroke beside the canoe. Minimal facial detail; anatomically simple, believable seated posture. A few broad ripple marks suggest movement. Cropped angular ochre rocks enter at the lower left; the remaining lake is spacious turquoise wash, with ample empty water on the left. Transparent pigment pooling and soft paper texture, loose dark marker-like contours, intentionally asymmetric silhouettes. Watercolour remains the dominant medium. Simple large shapes readable at thumbnail size, gentle daylight, no intricate hatching or detailed scenery. No other people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
