１ 先完成基本的輪廓，不需要過份的描繪細節，此時需要注意的兩邊牆壁在畫面裡所佔的比例。此外，為了讓構圖富有變化，我修改了左下角陰影的形狀。
Draw the outline loosely, but don't add too many details. At this stage, we have to notice the proportions of left and right walls. Besides, I change the shape of shadow on the down left for the variety of the composition.

２ 先在右側的牆壁抹水，再用大圓筆染上暖色與寒色。暖色的部分以黃色混合些微的橘色來畫，至於含色的部分則是以藍色調和紫色處理。門則是先塗上紅色，然後在門深色的地方點上濃咖啡色。反光的部分須以留白處理。
Apply the water on right wall in advance, then add the warm and cold mixtures onto the wet wash. Mix yellow and a little orange to create the warm color. As to cold color, mix the blue and purple. Paint the door with red first, then add the rich brown on the dark part of the door. Preserve the highlight on the right wall.



深色的區域則是在畫完第一層顏色後，趁底色還是濕的時候直接塗上更濃更深的咖啡色或黑色。這邊需注意筆的含水量，水不能太多以避免將第一層的顏色洗掉。
The technique to paint the dark area of the right wall is to apply dark brown or black directly onto the still-wet first wash. We need to be aware of the water amount in the hair of brush. If the water is too much, it washes off the color of the first wash.

３ 接著畫出左側的牆壁，葉子的部分先留白處理。需注意留白，要能表顯出大小聚散的形塊美。
Paint the left wall, and preserve the leafs. Notice the white lumps. It's crucial to express the beauty of the size and arrangement of the white lumps.



牆壁的畫法同樣先抹水，再用大圓筆染上一層藍色。接著趁第一層藍色還是濕的時候直接畫上深色(濃黑色或是深咖啡色)。在這裡的深色主要用來描繪左側牆壁的深色區，不用太執著於細節，只要能夠表現出深色區大致上的形貌即可。
Use the same technique to deal with the left wall, and paint with blue first. Add the dark colors (such as black or dark brown) directly onto the wet blue wash to paint the dark area of the left wall. Needless focus on the detail. It's good as long as expressing the loose appearance of the left wall.





４ 於留白處畫上綠色的葉子，直接將綠色畫出留白的區域，以避免在邊界留下難看的碎白邊。
Fulfill the blank on the left wall with green to express the leafs. Paint the green out of the boundary of blank area to prevent the tattered white spots along the it.



５ 以黑色畫出右邊牆壁的第二層細節，這邊的重點是黑色塊狀的大小與位置的排列美感，所以只需大概參考照片，盡量避免照抄照片。
Paint the black lumps to express the detail on the right wall.The key point is the beauty of size and arrangement of black lumps. In this regard,I only refer to the photo, and avoid to just copy it directly.



６ 以同樣的手法畫出左側牆壁的第二層細節。此外以乾刷的方式來畫右側牆壁的質感，使用的顏色為藍色與黑色以及其二者的混合。繼續以深色的色塊畫出右側牆壁各個部位的細節。
Apply the same technique to paint the detail of left wall. In addition, use the dry bush to express the texture of the right wall with blue, black or their mixture. Keep paint the detail with dark colors.



７ 最後以淺橘色畫出畫面的遠景(正中間遠方的公寓)，並以白色不透明顏料強畫畫面的亮區。
Finally, paint the vista (building in the right center of the picture), and use the opaque white color to highlight the bright area of the picture.
