Activated watercolor-pencil islands

An adult man and woman walk through a busy open-air market square, looking at the viewer, stalls and awnings around them. No letters, words, signs or logos anywhere in the image. Render partially activated watercolor pencil: selected colored-pencil passages dissolve into translucent wash islands while adjacent dry hatching and crisp accents remain. Make the dry-to-fluid transitions visible within the same drawing. Resemblance sits in big shapes — silhouette, pose, large dissolved areas; below fingertip scale everything is dry pencil hatching or dissolved wash. Eyes and nose, if present, are dry-hatched marks with one pencil-made highlight. Texture is visible everywhere. No fully washed watercolor substitute, photographic detail, crisp strands or glossy eye reflections.

Create a new image entirely in the style of the attached image: the same medium, materials, technique, rendering and character design (how it builds faces, eyes, hair, bodies and proportions). Do not copy its color palette or its environment; colors and setting follow the direction at the end. Subjects: a woman and a man seated side by side at a small round cafe table with two cups and a croissant, and a merle grey-and-tan French bulldog sitting in front of the table facing the viewer. She has a short blonde bob, a cream ribbed cardigan, blue jeans and white sneakers, legs crossed, chin resting on her hand, smiling softly at the viewer. He has tousled light brown hair, an olive overshirt over a white tee, beige chinos and white sneakers, one hand on his cup, looking at the viewer. Everything, faces, hands, clothes and the dog included, is made in the style of the attached image; nothing photographic. Square 1:1 composition. Do not copy the attached image's people, objects or scene. Direction: whole-scene hand-drawn watercolor pencil drawing on white paper, not photographic: faces, skin, hair, clothes and the dog are visible dry colored-pencil hatching with selected passages dissolved into translucent wash islands, clear dry-to-wet transitions, crisp pencil accents and simplified drawn features; cool morning setting with a pale lilac stucco wall, blue hydrangeas, silvery olive leaves and light grey flagstones. Keep real clothing colors. No text, letters, captions, banners, signs, swatches, color chips or decorative rules anywhere in the image. The artwork and any border finish completely inside the frame; nothing is cropped or overflows the edges.
