Watercolor Hippo in a Zen Garden

An watercolor illustration of a gentle hippo in a tranquil zen garden. Soft, translucent washes of greens, blues, and pale ochre create a dreamy atmosphere. The hippo sits cross-legged on a smooth mossy rock beside a shallow pond; eyes half-closed in peaceful meditation. Around it, raked gravel patterns circle stones, slender bamboo stalks rise, a bonsai tree sits in a pot, and a stone water basin glimmers softly. Mist drifts over distant mountains. Subtle ink-like outlines define shapes; the texture of watercolor paper shows through the color bleeds. Lighting is soft and diffuse, as if early morning light filters through a calm, quiet atmosphere.
