Zen Warrior in a Watercolor Temple

A tranquil watercolor painting of a lone warrior in a traditional robe standing at the threshold of a serene Zen temple courtyard. Soft washes of blue, gray, and moss green bleed into each other; the scene glows with gentle light filtering through a skylight. Inside the temple, sliding shoji screens, tatami mats, and a row of stone lanterns line a quiet path. A katana rests at the warrior's side, armor minimal and weathered, with fabric and leather details. Behind, bamboo stalks sway; mist hovers over a koi pond visible through open doors. The brushwork is loose and expressive, using wet-on-wet techniques to create delicate halos and subtle texture, evoking calm, discipline, and introspection.
