Making of: 'SF street at night'

Here is a time-lapse video of 'SF street at night' as it was being created. As you will see, i blocked out the forms in a gray value pass, then slowly built up mid-tone colors, ending with the 'wet street & sidewalk highlights.' I could have rendered this a bit more tighter, but i liked the loose/painterly brush strokes being evident in the final piece.
