Porto from Bridge (Digitally Modified Photo for Painting Reference)

I am planning to return to my "Watercolors of Portugal" series.  There is plenty of material in the photos from last year's trip, as well as from the trip before that.  Last summer, I walked over the San Luis Bridge (still amazed that I did that) and was rewarded with this view of the houses on the hills in Porto. The original version of this photo, taken by Mauro Maschkvich, will be the inspiration for my next painting. To turn the original photo into a painting reference, I used my Painter software to remove some graffiti on the hillside walls, a few skyscrapers in the distance, as well as an image of myself, in a bright pink windbreaker, transfixed by the view.
