How do I start a descriptive writing of small towns and villages?

I need to know how to describe a village where the children play soccer in the field instead of reading books or playing video games in the house. Small towns where life is peaceful and laughter of children can be heard in almost every corner. I need capture the right scenery and how to describe the place, the voices, the laughter... Even how to describe the sky, the weather, the sunset...Really hope you can show me how to write these...

Here is a technique I use:

Focus on one object--a house, a garden gnome, a tree--and begin to describe it in detail. Talk about the colours in the object, what it looks like at different times of the day etc. After you have described it at length, place it in the context of your city--where is it located? On someone's yard? At the center of town? From that focal point I find it a lot easier to describe other areas.

A great focal point could be the soccer field. Talk about the divets in the ground, the springiness of the grass, the warm smell of dirt and newly fallen rain and the the pleasant firmness of the earth as it resists against the stab of your cleats.

Or something like that. :) Have Fun!
