Exercise 26:  Large shapes and small details:  City Scene

"Learn to Paint in Acrylics with 50 Small Paintings" by Mark Daniel Nelson;   5 step-by-step directions with photos to guide you.

I disliked the picture proposed by the author (see bottom of post), as the structure wasn't defined enough for me and an all grey streetscape didn't appeal.  An internet search resulted in a picture of street with the sun going down.
