Dwarf in Mayan Ruins: A Watercolor Journey

Watercolor illustration of a stout dwarf with a full beard, wearing rugged leather armor and a moss-green cloak, standing among ancient Mayan ruins. He holds a carved jade amulet and a softly glowing lantern, which casts warm amber light on weathered stone blocks etched with glyphs. In the background, stepped pyramids rise above a jungle of twisting vines, with bright macaws in flight and a turquoise cenote glimmering in the distance. Use loose, flowing watercolor washes with wet-on-wet technique, soft edges, and pigment bleed to create a dreamy, atmospheric scene. Palette of earth tones (ochre, terracotta, sage) with splashes of jade, gold, and turquoise. Watercolor paper texture should be subtly visible, enhancing the sense of discovery and mystery.
