Paint as charming storybook clip art with translucent watercolor washes, visible paper grain, soft pigment blooms and irregular hand-painted edges. Use a gentle, bright palette of warm ochre, russet, soft pink, leafy green, cream and deep navy, with light open values. Faces are simple and friendly, with tiny dark eyes, a small curved mouth and softly rosy cheeks. Diffuse cheerful light keeps the forms airy; center the character on clean white space with faint grounding marks and a few delicate splashes.
Square 1:1 frame. A small brown sparrow perched on the spout of a green metal watering can, the whole watering can and the sparrow complete and seen from the side.
Isolated on a fully transparent background: alpha = 0 everywhere outside the subject and its shadow, not white, not coloured, no checkerboard pattern, a real alpha channel. The whole subject sits fully inside the canvas with a clear margin of transparency on every side, its outer rim fully transparent and nothing cropped by the frame. A small flat soft grey contact shadow mark under it in the alpha channel is the only ground cue. No lettering, numbers, logos, frames, borders or markings appear anywhere.
