Watercolor Wash
A stylization that flattens regions into soft translucent washes with pooled edges and visible paper. Edge-preserving smoothing and edge darkening are the common building blocks of digital watercolor effects.

Why it happens
The image is smoothed while keeping edges, colors are lightly quantized, edges are darkened to imitate pigment pooling, and a paper texture is multiplied over the result.

Keep the original subject and composition.”
