Montmartre:Place Dalida Day 5

This is the progress at day five. I am defining the center of interest with color. The center of interest is the intersection where the car and the pink building are. The pink building is the historical restaurant La Maison Rose De La Butte Montmartre. I am starting to rough in the cobblestones in the lower third of the painting to begin to balance the depth of the work. I will clean up the edges and deepen the shadows as the final step, and use it not only to give the image a crisper look but to finish the balance that will guide your eye through the composition.
