Wreath on a Red Front Door

An evergreen wreath with berries and a red bow hangs on a red front door above a snowy stoop. A brass lantern, pine branches and winter light add texture around the doorway.

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.
