Cheetah by a Rushing River in Watercolor

A watercolor painting of a cheetah beside a rushing river. The cheetah stands low on a sun-warmed riverbank, its tawny coat dotted with black spots and a white-tipped tail, rendered with soft washes and feathered edges. The river roars past with white foamy crests, blues and greens bleeding into silvery reflections on the spray. Use wet-on-wet techniques to blend grasses, stones, and ripples, creating a sense of motion and atmosphere. The background is a blur of grasses, rocks, and distant trees under golden light, with the foreground cheetah in sharp yet painterly focus, capturing tension between hunter and rushing water.
