Watercolor Merchant in a Pine Forest

Watercolor illustration of a friendly merchant in a pine forest. A small wooden market stall sits beside a mossy path, stocked with baskets of herbs, dried spices, and rolled fabrics. The merchant wears simple rustic clothes and a wide-brimmed hat, arranging goods on a weathered counter. Tall pine trees loom overhead, their needles filtering pale sunlight into soft, shimmering patches on the forest floor. Use loose, translucent watercolor washes with wet-on-wet blending, visible brushstrokes, and delicate color bleeds. The mood is tranquil and nostalgic, with distant pines fading into a bluish mist to create depth and atmosphere.
