Watercolor Thunderstorm Over the Forest

A dense forest under a rising thunderstorm, rendered in watercolor on textured paper. Wet-on-wet technique with soft, bleeding edges; rain slants through the canopy, and sudden lightning illuminates emerald foliage and mossy trunks. Mist curls between trees, rain-slick leaves, and reflections gather in small puddles on the forest floor. Palette of deep blues, slate grays, and sunlit hints of green-gold; brushstrokes convey wind-swept motion and atmospheric depth, creating a moody, cinematic wide shot with a tranquil yet dramatic feel.
