Goals with this practice:
1. Paint more traditionally without layers only changing color (hue/saturation/value), brush size and opacity.
2. Do urban painting of some kind (and I love the Japanese theme).
I use a photo I took about 4 years ago south of Fukuoka as reference.
===
My strategy:
1. Start with getting the biggest shapes and perspective lines right. DONE!
2. Give all the shapes a flat color so that the values become correct relative to each other.
3. Carefully go into smaller and smaller detail and always remember step 1 and 2 not to mess them up.

What have I done right and what do I need to fix in terms of shapes and perspective before moving on to the next step?

You have a very methodical and analytical way of approaching things, that is not something I see very often! Great job on getting the basics shapes down.
Hm I don't really have anything to say as I'm not the most refined in landscaping, but a useful tip just for anything you're try flipping the canvas more often, it helps spot mistakes. :)
Generally if I'm really feeling like doing a landscape/big painting I tend to want to know where the direction of light is coming from and how it hits the objects. :P
Good luck!

@Alkaline Thanks for the tips. I often here flipping is good but I always forget :) Will try to implement that in my workflow.
