Watercolor Cottage Inside a Medieval Castle Courtyard

Watercolor illustration of a charming stone cottage tucked inside the inner courtyard of a sprawling medieval castle. Soft watercolor washes with gentle color bleeds: warm ochre walls, a thatched roof, and amber-lit windows. Ivy clings to mossy castle walls, with arched gateways and distant towers visible above. A cobblestone path leads from a wrought-iron gate to the cottage door, flanked by a small herb garden and a tiny fountain. The scene is bathed in diffused light with a pale blue sky and wisps of mist, creating a peaceful, timeless mood. Emphasize watercolor texture, delicate edge softness, and subtle grain to evoke a dreamy medieval atmosphere.
