1Transform the reference photograph into a delicate {argument name="style" default="hand-drawn travel journal illustration"} while preserving the original composition, architecture, people, trees, grass, road, and overall perspective. Use a traditional colored-pencil and watercolor sketch aesthetic on warm, slightly aged cream paper. Keep the buildings recognizable but simplify them into expressive hand-drawn shapes, with visible pencil strokes, loose watercolor washes, subtle paper grain, imperfect outlines, and gentle cross-hatching. Preserve the peaceful {argument name="atmosphere" default="rainy-day"} atmosphere, soft overcast sky, warm beige and muted buildings, fresh green lawn, scattered people walking with umbrellas, wet pavement, trees, benches, puddles, and distant cars. Use a muted vintage travel-sketch palette with natural imperfections and understated colors. Place the illustration in the lower portion of the page with generous cream-colored negative space around it. Add elegant handwritten typography above: ‘{argument name="heading" default="Rainy Days"}’, and below: — Quiet moments —. Minimal, nostalgic, artistic travel magazine aesthetic, analog photography transformed into a personal sketchbook memory, sophisticated and authentic, no photorealism.
