A Small Sample
A disproportionately large olive garden scoop rests across a squat, unlabelled jar containing soil, with generous empty space on a warm courtyard surface.

Finished editorial illustration, 3:2 landscape. At the far left of a pale cream courtyard ledge, a comically oversized deep-olive garden scoop rests diagonally across the mouth of a squat, wide, unlabelled glass jar. The scoop bowl holds a small mound of terracotta-brown garden soil; a little matching soil sits inside the jar, suggesting a freshly collected sample. Short chunky handle, asymmetric scoop silhouette, simplified glass indicated by two broad pale strokes. Keep the entire object grouping within the left third and leave the centre and right spacious and empty. Slightly elevated three-quarter view, soft shaded daylight, one gentle shadow beneath the objects. Broad opaque oil-paint-like colour patches edged with expressive hand-drawn marker contours; minimal texture, velvety matte ground, no intricate detail. Playful, restrained cream, olive and terracotta palette. No people, diagrams, medical equipment, text, logos or watermarks.
