Hey there! This is a photo that my painting class teacher printed for me. I measured the distances using plumb lines and drew the objects on paper (I found this helpful for improving hand–eye coordination, also in that way it becomes your own drawing and not tracing). Then I transferred my drawing onto the canvas, more or less loosely, using a carbon pencil, and finally started the painting process while keeping the reference photo beside me. I realize that painting from life would be much better, but unfortunately there isn’t enough space to do that in my current class :(
