Image-to-Watercolor Illustration Prompt

"Transform the subject of the uploaded image into a watercolor illustration rendered in a distinct, stylized aesthetic. The artwork must feature strong, expressive contour lines defining the subject's features, hair, and clothing. The color palette is limited to fluid washes of teal, muted coral/peach, warm beige, and sepia tones used for shading and highlights, replacing natural colors entirely. The final image should emphasize the texture of cold-press paper, visible paint granulation, and loose watercolor bleed effects. The subject's likeness must be preserved accurately within this new medium, set against a white paper background with abstract splashes of teal and coral watercolor"
