Create a vertical storybook illustration of a tiny stone cottage perched on a grassy cliff above a calm sea. View the scene slightly from below and off to the left, showing both the cliff face and the ocean. Give the cottage a weathered stucco exterior, an arched wooden door, a small window, creeping moss and ivy, and a terracotta-tiled roof with a short chimney. Beside the cottage, add a slender, windswept tree with sparse green leaves.

Fill most of the sky with towering, soft cumulonimbus clouds, rendered in fluffy, painterly strokes with subtle warm highlights. Use a palette of warm creams, soft blues, muted greens, terracotta orange, and gentle earth tones. Light the scene with warm, diffused sunlight, soft shadows, and strong atmospheric perspective.

Use a hand-painted watercolor and gouache feel, blended with delicate ink linework, textured paper grain, soft gradients, and light cel shading to create a whimsical, nostalgic mood. Include fine details such as individual roof tiles, stone texture on the cliff, tiny wildflowers on the slope, faint ripples on the sea, and a slight breeze moving the grass and leaves. Create a cinematic, high-detail composition that feels tranquil and magical. Aspect ratio: ${aspect-ratio:3:4}.
