Watercolor Bird Study with Precise Plumage

Transform the uploaded reference photo into a hand-painted watercolor illustration. Use the supplied photograph as the authoritative source for subject structure and visible details. Work from a photograph of one bird. Preserve the visible bird's species characteristics, plumage pattern, beak shape, eye placement, body pose, feet and perch. Do not invent hidden markings or add decorative flowers. Block the body with transparent washes following feather groups, then add controlled fine strokes around the eye, beak and wing edges. Keep secondary feather texture suggestive, with soft transitions on the breast and a few dry-brush accents on the tail. Keep the bird and its existing perch isolated against a light wash that preserves separation from the plumage. The result must read as a new watercolor painting on subtly textured cold-press paper, with translucent pigment, purposeful brushwork and varied edge softness, not a photograph with a texture overlay. Avoid oil-paint impasto, glossy 3D rendering, heavy cartoon outlines, decorative text, signatures and watermarks. Return a single finished illustration, not a before-and-after comparison, collage or framed mockup.
