I'm a beginner artist too and have found that the best way to learn to paint "something", is by forgeting what you're trying to paint and just try to reproduce the shapes, the values, the hues, the chroma and the temperature of what you have in front of you.

Leave painting from photographs to the seasoned artists. At the beginning, you should paint only from nature in order to learn to "see" like a painter. Remember that you can only paint what you see and if you don't see right, you can not paint right, and this applies to any subject.
