Leopard on a Cliff Edge in Watercolor

An evocative watercolor painting of a leopard perched on the edge of a wind-swept cliff. Painted on textured paper with soft washes, wet-on-wet blending, and blooming edges. The leopard's tawny fur with bold rosettes is rendered with delicate brushwork, while the rocky cliff is built from rough greens, ochres, and cool grays with visible granulation. A misty valley stretches below and a pale expansive sky with hints of gold and blue suffuses the scene. Sea spray and wind add dynamic movement to the air. Composition emphasizes mood over realism: the leopard sits near the right third, the cliff edge sweeping along the foreground, and distant mountains blurred into the distance. The lighting is dramatic, catching the eyes and fur, with wind ruffling the leopard's fur as it surveys its precipice.
