Whale on a Weathered Pier in Watercolor

A surreal watercolor scene of a giant whale perched on a weathered wooden pier that stretches over a calm sea. The whale rests along the length of the pier with its back and fins draping across the planks, while soft waves lap at the pilings. The sky and water are rendered in delicate washes of blue, turquoise, and lavender, with warm amber light from a setting sun reflecting off the wood. Loose wet-on-wet brushwork, gentle color bleed, and visible paper texture give a dreamy, painterly feel. Add seagulls in flight above and a light mist of spray for atmosphere.
