Brass Laboratory Explorer in Watercolor

A watercolor illustration of an explorer in a brass laboratory. Painted in soft washes with warm amber brass tones, aged patina, and gentle color bleeds. The scene features vintage lab benches strewn with glass beakers, test tubes, and bubbling liquids, brass pipes and gauges along the walls, and intricate cogwork in the cabinetry. The explorer wears a classic expedition outfit—leather jacket, waistcoat, sturdy boots, and a wide-brim hat—holding a rolled map and a compass, eyes filled with curiosity. Sunlight filters through a dusty window, casting glints on polished brass surfaces and creating a moody, adventurous atmosphere. The palette blends brass golds, ochres, sepias, with accents of teal and jade from glassware. The overall effect is painterly and atmospheric, with soft edges and visible watercolor granulation.
