Through conversation and additional research images, we came up with the palette and style of the backdrop which was inspired from Rousseau paintings.
The size of the backdrop changed during the theater visits and the set designer asked me to add the extra 1.5 meters in width. The white space is my preparation to sketch in the additional jungle.
