Urban Landscape in Gouache — Poster Style

A gouache painting of a Parisian cobblestone street with a café terrace and geraniums in a bold graphic poster style. Viewpoint: street-level perspective looking down the lane. Lighting: warm golden evening light raking across stone facades — strong shadows simplified into flat shapes, no gradients. Buildings and surfaces: flat opaque color planes — gouache's natural affinity for graphic simplification. Color temperature: warm ochre stone, teal shutters, dusty terracotta rooftops, amber light. People or figures: a couple seated at a café table, one figure walking away — simplified silhouettes, not detailed. Sky: flat or two-tone — simple shapes over descriptive rendering. Shadows: single flat tone, painted as graphic shapes not cast shadows. Style: mid-century travel poster gouache quality — graphic, immediate, decorative. Medium behavior: dry, matte, opaque — no watercolor washes, no transparency, no digital smoothing.
