Stages of Art Creation

Stage 1
Establish the big shapes of light and dark, warm and cool.

Stage 2
Breaking into smaller shapes, establishing better values and putting more power into the darks.

Stage 3
Establish the figures and reinforce the contrast between the dark figures and the lighter background.

Stage 4
Refine the figures and I look to smaller pieces, shapes in the building.

Stage 5
I decide to paint out the bicycles in the front. More attention to the tables and chairs.

Stage 6
General refinement to the buildings at rear as well as to the left corner of the front building.
