Master location painting for a 2D animated film: a wide empty street corner in an old European city with tall pale townhouses, tall windows, iron railings and one black iron lamp post, on a cold overcast day. Painted gouache and watercolour background with visible paper texture and soft brush edges, very simple clean graphic shapes. Strictly limited palette of pale cool greys and off-white with deep black ironwork, leaving open pale space so that a black coat and a red dress would stand out strongly in front of it. No people, no cars, no text, no letters, no signs. Calm, elegant, cinematic.
