Warm Flat Lay: Candle, Compass, Photos & Art Supplies

Top-down flat lay of a warm-toned still life on a textured surface. The scene sits on a rustic wooden table with pronounced grain and a coarse linen or burlap texture. Lighting from the top-left creates soft, golden-hour shadows and a cozy glow. In the left-center, a small clear glass candle holder with a lit candle, with delicate wax drips. Nearby, a vintage brass compass with a white dial adds a touch of wanderlust. Scattered around are several photos with white borders, their corners slightly curled. On the right and bottom, an assortment of art supplies: watercolor tubes, a few brushes with wooden handles, graphite pencils, a compact ivory sketchbook, a wooden ruler, and a splash of paint or ink. Color palette focuses on warm honey, amber, terracotta, cream, sage green, and muted browns. Emphasize textures: wood grain, fabric fiber, wax, paper texture, and the subtle sheen of metal. The composition should feel cozy, thoughtful, and inviting creativity, with crisp, highly detailed rendering suitable for a photorealistic style.
