Dab in a few white highlights onto the car shapes; again,

don't worry too much about accuracy. Next, we're ready for a

touch of scratchy highlights on the buildings. To do this I used

a scalpel or craft knife to scratch the top layer of paint away to

form broken highlights. I'm careful not to cut the paper so

instead I use the blade side-on to scratch the surface

I decided to add a few extra touches of cadmium yellow to the focal

point to draw the eye in even more, before adding a few collaged

elements to describe signage on each side of the street. I used a basic

glue stick and a pair of scissors to make small interesting shapes cut

from found materials from the streets of New York, but feel free to use

whatever printed collage materials you have to hand
