A beautifully composed still life of painting supplies: a wooden box filled with soft, natural bristle brushes, jars of linseed oil, and small pots of vivid oil paint arranged beside a textured landscape painting in progress that captures a dramatic sunrise behind pine-clad hills. The supplies are set atop a vintage wooden table placed by a window where golden hour light streams in, creating glowing highlights and gentle, elongated shadows that add warmth.

Shot from a close, slightly side-on viewpoint with depth of field focused on the tactile tools and rich colors, the style is detailed and inviting, conveying the artistry behind each finished landscape.
