I look at the photo of this painting and I feel overwhelmed. How exactly does one go about eliminating what they don't want in the paiting? I have an app that erases parts of a phto I want, but when borrowing photos do I just put an x through things I don't want to include? I get overwhelmed.

What works for me is tracing the image. If I am inspired to paint from one of my pics, but there is a lot going on, I will print out my pic and trace the "biggies" and add the "smallies" as I go. I like to stay true to what I observed, but if my pic has 14 people in it, I'll remove half of them and see how it looks. I may have to refer back to other pics I took to see what was behind the subject I eliminated, so the painting makes sense. I have also decided midway through a painting--this looks kinds bare and challenge myself to insert the subject pack into the painting..aahh choices!! I do like that the sign is not spelled out in the painting, some of those really small details can be more free. I hope this helps

I did this a enjoyed it /learned a lot but I had to change the windows on the front face of the building because every time I look at the reference it looks like a face to me! It was a good challenge to come up with a variation

I can’t look at this building without seeing a face!
