On December 19th, I had used Painter to edit my vacation photo so that I could use it as a reference photo for painting. The next day, December 20th, I printied it out and took it into my home studio, but almost immediately decided to make changes. I thought the foreground was too complicated. So I revised it by drawing into the image (printed on computer paper) with conte crayon. I eliminated a ski trail on the right by drawing over it in green. I used white conte crayon to simplified the center ski trail, covering up a road and a stand of trees. I sketched in an area of green where I planned to join two areas of trees. This is what my plan was when I began to lay out the composition on the canvas. But there were more changes to come.
