Watercolor Train on Castle Battlements

Watercolor painting of a vintage steam locomotive crossing a narrow railway track laid along the crenellated parapets of a medieval castle. The stone battlements rise on both sides with towers, arrow slits, and fluttering pennants. Soft translucent watercolor washes with wet-on-wet skies in pale blues and warm golds; the train's metal gleams with a delicate glaze and a curling plume of steam dissolving into pale mist. Low-angle perspective along the ramparts, distant towers and hazy mountains in the background. The scene blends realism and dreamlike fantasy, showing ivy clinging to stones, birds in flight, and the contrast between sturdy masonry and delicate brushwork. Palette includes earth tones, ochre, umber, ultramarine, and hints of crimson. Textural feel of paper grain and color bleeding typical of watercolor.
