Can you see them in the painting that you are beginning? Make sure you are using the images as strong references. Here is the beginning of mine.

We are introducing the ideas of the Elements and Principles of Art to you. You are ALSO using something that you are really good with (or at least really into) and that is PHOTOGRAPHY.
