Watercolor Ranger in a Castle Courtyard

Watercolor illustration of a ranger in a medieval castle courtyard. A lone ranger stands in soft, translucent washes, wearing weathered leather armor and a hooded cloak, with a bow slung over his shoulder and a quiver at his back, a dagger at his belt. He is full-body, slightly off-center to the left, scanning the courtyard. The courtyard features mossy cobblestones, ivy-clad stone walls, arched doorways, and banners fluttering. A fountain or statue in the background, dappled sunlight filtering through high arches, creating long shadows. The palette is muted greens, ochres, and slate blues, with warm amber light. The watercolor technique emphasizes wet-on-wet washes, light bleed, soft edges, and visible paper texture. The mood is quiet vigilance with a hint of adventure.
