Owl in Watercolor: Renaissance Italy Scene

Watercolor painting of an owl perched on a weathered branch in a sunlit Renaissance Italian street scene. Use soft, translucent washes of ochre, sienna, and pale blue that bleed into the paper for a luminous, hazy atmosphere. The owl should have delicate feather textures, bright amber eyes, and a poised gaze. In the background, include stone arches, terracotta rooftops, distant domes and bell towers, tiled courtyards, and pale fresco-like walls. Employ wet-on-wet techniques with gentle color gradations and subtle sfumato along edges to evoke a timeless Renaissance feel. The composition balances natural observation with architectural elegance, reminiscent of a Florentine academy notebook illustration.
