The scene the art director wrote
A bustling street in Washington DC with people walking in front of the Federal Reserve building on a sunny day, as a group of investors and analysts gather near the entrance, looking at each other with concerned expressions, while a university banner hangs from a nearby building with a signless Ballard House in the background.
Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received
Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A bustling street in Washington DC with people walking in front of the Federal Reserve building on a sunny day, as a group of investors and analysts gather near the entrance, looking at each other with concerned expressions, while a university banner hangs from a nearby building with a signless Ballard House in the background. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.
