Old Block of Houses

Lightly sketch the basic shapes and composition of the buildings, focusing on proportions and placement.

Block in the large areas of color with thin washes, starting with the background sky and then the dominant red tones.

Add the secondary colors (blues, greens, browns) to define the individual buildings and architectural elements.

Build up layers of paint to create texture and variation in the color fields.

Use thicker paint and bolder brushstrokes to add details like windows and architectural accents.

Refine the edges of the shapes and adjust the color balance to achieve the desired effect.

Add final details and highlights to enhance the sense of depth and form.

Let dry and add a varnish coat.
