Emerald Watercolour Portrait

A vibrant watercolour portrait featuring a woman in a green silk saree adorned with gold accents. The image showcases two distinct representations of her: a close-up of her smiling face and a full-length seated figure, both highlighted against an exploding emerald and gold ink background.

FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact woman in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jaw, cheeks, skin tone. Never beautify or slim the face.

STYLE: a photoreal portrait set into an exploding watercolour ground - bright ink blooms and splatter radiating outward on cream paper, the colour dissolving to bare paper at the edges. The same person appears twice: a large close-up filling the upper field, and a small full-length figure seated low in the frame. The two never overlap and never look at each other.

Emerald and gold blooms. The large close-up is chest-up in a green silk saree with a gold border and jhumkas, a small red bindi, eyes to the viewer, a soft smile. The small seated figure below wears the same saree, seated with both hands together in her lap, fingers countable. Vertical 3:4.

The face is rendered PHOTO-TRUE with real skin texture and clear catchlights - the one element exempt from the surrounding style, never simplified. High resolution, clean edges, no artefacts, no extra limbs or duplicated features. No lettering anywhere.

CHECK: the face must match the reference exactly.
