Tiger on a Weathered Pier in Watercolor

Watercolor painting of a tiger standing on a weathered wooden pier that extends over a calm sea at golden hour. Loose, fluid brushstrokes render the tiger's fur in vibrant orange with bold black stripes, blending softly into the cool blues and grays of the water and sky. The pier's planks show grain and wear, painted with wet-on-wet washes and delicate pigment blooms. Mist hovers over the water; distant boats and seagulls dot the horizon. Reflections ripple on the water and on the wet wood, creating a dreamy, impressionistic atmosphere.
