The brief was a cloth depicting the entrance to a French Chateau. This to be used as the "backing" for a "film" being made on the stage. "Singing in the Rain" is about the history of the movies when Sound ousted the Silent era. Photo taken in the workshop under fluorescent lights with some natural light in from the left. Cloth is nine feet wide by eleven feet high. A single point perspective painting with the vanishing point being on the floor dead centre. See the small black arrow |

A photo to show scale Your's truly (Brian Willis) using a thin mist of white paint to "knock back" the background building to give depth to the foreground steps. This mist is most noticeable at the base of the doors.
