Store front "Ganbarou" WIP4 by Johannes

Day 65: Wow! My first painting to hit the playback limit. Got a little bit carried away with details so to say... But it is so much fun to paint small cans in a vending machine :)

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.

Only top part left (mainly). Any suggestions on how to finish this piece with grace?
