step 01
Lightly sketch the main figures and the carriage, focusing on proportions and placement.
step 02
Block in the large areas of color: the green background, the dresses, and the carriage.
step 03
Begin adding details to the figures, using thin washes of color to define shapes.
step 04
Use hatching and cross-hatching to create shadows and volume in the figures' clothing and faces.
step 05
Add details to the carriage and background figures, keeping them less defined than the foreground figures.
step 06
Refine the details of the faces and clothing, paying attention to the subtle color variations.

Add the final touches, such as the ribbons and the details on the hats.
step 08
Review the painting and make any necessary adjustments to the colors and values.
