Heart Lanterns along an Evening Street

Heart shaped lanterns hang along a quiet old street at blue hour, with warm windows and cobblestones beneath them. The repeated lanterns lead toward a softer background of doors and flowers.

The main subject gives the image a clear starting point. Begin with the strongest edges and separate nearby colors before joining smaller details. Repeated shapes become easier once the broad layout is in place. Save quiet background areas until the foreground has a firm frame. At larger piece counts, changes in texture and light help distinguish pieces that share a color.
