He moves between foreground (pavement), midground (figures) and background (the city) to make sure that the city lights and their reflections bounce throughout his painting. He makes sure to use his details in his focal area and reminds you to not spend too much time doing unnecessary detail work in areas that aren’t suppose to draw the eye. He builds up his values slowly, softening hard edges with clean water and  making sure his darkest darks are in his focal figure.
