Street scene
This little sketch is to show how I do it. First step for me is to visualise the Painting, then make sure I have a strong focal point. The focal point here is the white tree and two prominent figures. Keep the background loose not much detail otherwise you lose the focal point in the background details.the dark figures in the middle ground break up the horizon line where the buildings meet the ground. Use counterpoint when placing your Figures so light against dark and dark figures against light. As soon as the Painting becomes pleasing to the eye stop don't over detail it , it doesn't work as I know to my cost it's a difficult decision to know exactly when to stop. Hope it's helpful to some painter , happy Painting to all.
