Lanterns along a Narrow Night Market

Lanterns line a narrow night market between small food stalls, woven baskets and painted shutters. Warm pools of red, gold and orange light fall across the evening street, while baskets, bowls and hanging fabrics fill the lower edges with repeating shapes. The passage narrows toward a darker archway, giving the picture a clear route into the distance.

Begin with the brightest lanterns and their cords, then build the stall roofs and shutter frames around them. Woven baskets are easier in groups because their rims and shadows repeat, while the colored fabrics provide small landmarks. Use the pavement lines to connect the foreground stalls to the central passage. Leave the darkest archway and deep corners for the end, after the lights have set the market's structure.
