Lightly sketch the basic shapes and perspective lines of the buildings and street.

Apply a light wash of diluted blue/gray for the sky, allowing it to dry.

Using a larger brush, apply a diluted warm brown wash for the street and lower portions of the buildings.

Use a smaller brush to add details to the windows, signs, and figures.

Add highlights with a slightly damp brush to lift color and create a sense of light.
