Finished editorial watercolour illustration, 3:2 landscape, with loose bold marker contours that unify the hand-drawn collection. Low side viewpoint of one squat tomato plant rooted in a small patch of warm brown garden soil, positioned left of centre. One comically oversized, visibly unripe green tomato hangs from a bowed stem just above a shallow rain puddle. A few large angular leaves create an asymmetric silhouette. The puddle contains a simplified inverted reflection of the tomato and stem, visibly connected to the same scene. Broad moss-green, ochre and pale blue washes, slight pigment pooling, warm ivory paper showing through. Diffuse overcast light, perfectly still water, a narrow gap between fruit and surface suggesting quiet tension. Strong thumbnail-readable shapes; generous empty ivory space on the right. No intricate hatching, diagrams or extra props. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
